KTM has finally revealed the track-only version of its 990 RC R sportsbike, which removes road requirements such as lights and mirrors, and adds Michelin Power Slick tyres, a more compact electronics system with three track modes and a useful 5hp power boost. Gear ratios have been altered to give a longer first gear and shorter sixth, there’s a lightweight Akrapovič stainless steel exhaust system and the seat has been reshaped for a more attacking stance. KTM says the all the current allocation has already been sold, but those desperate to get their hands on the £15,599 RC R Track can join the waiting list for the next quota.
