KTM has just enlarged their Supermoto lineup with a motorcycle related to which there hasn’t been much anticipation work from the speciality press, but one that definitely raises a few question marks in what concerns the Austrians plans for the future: the 2009 KTM 990 Supermoto T. It seems that uncovering new means of fulfilling the passion for motorcycling is THE way and KTM people work with what they have.

The KTM stand is expected to be pretty crowded this November at the EICMA show in Milan as the Austrian manufacturer announces the official release of one of its most notorious naked motorcycle, the 990 Supermoto R.

At a first glance, the new bike distinguishes from the 2008 model year due to the new color scheme featuring a set of white plastics mounted on the orange powdercoated frame. Also, the rims feature a nice, Y-spoke design and the swingarm is black painted on the 2009 model year.

The only downside yet to be identified is the reduced fuel capacity. Apparently, the gas tank became smaller in the designer’s attempt to create a sportier riding position.

Mechanical improvements haven’t made public, but one thing is for sure: the 2009 KTM 990 Supermoto R will revolutionize the naked class with its bold look and already highly-performing single-cylinder engine. But can we dream at a V-Twin?
