2010 ktm 990 smr

[Monstaman]

Looking to get more into Adventure riding for which the 990 SMR is not ideal so selling to buy a F800GS.

SMR is like new (Bought in August 2010 so three months old).

Comes with
-Bark Buster Storm
-Heated Grips
-SMT Lower seat (plus SMR seat)
-Leo Vince Sound System
-o2 Eliminators
-Airbox opened
-Custom Givi luggage rack assembly
- KTM stickers (some spare)

Has had the latest Akrapovic map uploaded into the ECU at Superior Motorcycle in Christchurch where I bought the bike, the SAS system has been removed and the second and third restrictor disabled with the Akra map, this runs as strong as an OX and has more grunt than a paddock full of pigs.

Bike owes me $28252.00 with everything above Ready To Race, has 1 3/4 years warranty on her still.

Second photo is on the purchase day, will take some more photos, has some KTM stickers and Leos other than that it looks the same, will upload some pics after work with some pornographic closeup shots.

Please note TARD plate NOT included in sale.

If you are interested lets talk, andi@delisqs.co.nz .

YuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!

Why the hell anyone would buy a HyperMotard over THAT is beyond me. Unless they like boys of course........

Nice. Friendly Local Motorcycle Shop has a tempting 990SMT in store...

Question: Why did KTM stop making these?

Apparently FLMS is simply awaiting the return of appropriate riding documentation to the rightfull owner in order to unleash SMT mounted customer upon the unsuspecting masses. Or so I've heard.

Answer: Poor retail sales is the underlying reason any brand discontinues any model.

Both are still in production as I understand it?

... I know where you can get a SMR weapon with a SMT seat

Sad, because I have ridden said lonely and forlorn looking "ex-demo". It is a Peach. The nit picker in me has some issues with the instrumentation, and the original asking price was a bit severe. But my golly goodness me, it's a lovely thing to ride, even two-up.

Not according to KTM New Zealand's sub-optimal web site.

Yum

Wow, yummy is the word.

[Gremlin]

Dunno Hitch, really dunno. My 08 SM has longer suspension travel, and it makes NZ roads an absolute piece of cake. Only downside is you expect all bikes to handle like it, ruining you in the future.

[FlangMasterJ]

What a beast!

I rode the first 950SM when it came to NZ. Damn that was nice.

[Motardman]

Yep these are still being made, the 990SMR is the new (as of this year) version of the older 950SMR. Stunning bike mate, exactly what I'm after just 12 months too soon...need more cash dammit.

All the reviews hold this model as being far better in every way than the Hypermotard EVO SP, although I wouldn't say no to either!

Why dont you go back to KTM and trade it on an 990ADV as they are a better bikes than the F800GS anyway (which you will find to slow I'd say)

Cant believe you did all that to the SMR and didnt give it a chance though

Don't get me wrong, if I could afford to get both ... no prob, the SMR is a weapon, if I sell I sell if not then no biggy as we are away at the end of next year anyway for one year adv road trip from bottom of South America to Alaska over a 1 year (ish) trip

Looked at the 990, nearly 30 kg heavier and WAY too tall for me bein a short ass.

Anyway, that is where I am at, if I don't sell I will still keep chewing up tar and enjoy her.
