The KTM 950 Super Duke, a naked sportbike launched in 2003, and its successor, the 990 Super Duke, are iconic motorcycles that redefined the "supermoto" genre. Powered by KTM's legendary LC8 engine, a 999cc liquid-cooled 90-degree V-twin, these machines offered a thrilling blend of raw power, agile handling, and a distinct streetfighter aesthetic. The 950 Super Duke boasted impressive performance with 98 horsepower, while the 990 Super Duke, introduced in 2005, upped the ante with a potent 115 horsepower. This power was delivered through a six-speed gearbox and a chain drive, resulting in exhilarating acceleration and a top speed exceeding 140 mph.

Beyond the raw performance, the Super Dukes were known for their distinctive character. Their aggressive styling, featuring a high-mounted exhaust, exposed trellis frame, and minimal bodywork, exuded a raw and uncompromising attitude. The ergonomics were designed for sporty riding, with clip-on handlebars and a minimal seat height, offering a commanding and engaging riding experience. These attributes, combined with a robust suspension and powerful brakes, made the 950 and 990 Super Dukes capable not only on the open road but also on winding mountain passes and even light off-road terrain. Their inherent versatility and captivating performance established them as true icons of the streetfighter category, solidifying KTM's reputation for building highly capable and exciting motorcycles.
