I'm bewildered that KTM comes out with a touring SuperMoto while it still has its thumb up its ass on a 690 Adventure.

grazie billy, for clearing up the mystery about the lack of the "thumbs up" from the 990 supermoto pilot in the photo above ... his thumb is up ... his ass

THIS is what a supermoto bike and pilot should look like backing it into a corner, and smoking the rear tire out of the corner ...





ruben rocks!!!

i thought the new katoom was f'uggly ... but compared to the new husky supermoto, the 990 supermoto looks awesome ... (and i used to race ktms and huskies, and really liked them then)
