2012 KTM 990 Superduke R 12 1.0L Petrol · OU62 HZS

A consistent record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with the most recent pass on 9 April 2026 showing no defects. The history reveals a stable trend of compliance, with the only recorded failure occurring on 15 August 2024 due to a missing rear reflector, which was rectified on the same day. Aside from this minor equipment deficiency, the vehicle has passed every inspection without any recorded mechanical advisories. The recorded mileage of 740 miles over a fourteen year period is exceptionally low, averaging approximately 53 miles per year. Such a usage profile indicates that the motorcycle has spent the vast majority of its life stationary rather than in active service. Mechanically, this suggests that while there is minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine internals, the vehicle has been subject to the effects of long-term inactivity. Given the history of prolonged standing, a physical inspection should focus on the integrity of rubber components and seals. During a test drive, pay close attention to the operation of the braking system to ensure there is no binding in the calipers and that the levers provide a firm, consistent response. Check for any signs of fluid weeping from the fork seals or engine gaskets, as seals can perish or shrink when not regularly lubricated by fluid movement. Ensure the engine reaches operating temperature smoothly without excessive smoke or irregular idling, which can occur after extended periods of dormancy. Listen for any unusual noises from the chain and sprockets, as lack of use can lead to surface corrosion or seizing of the links despite the low mileage. Verify that all electrical systems and lighting operate correctly, as the previous failure regarding the rear reflector highlights the need to confirm all required safety equipment is present and functional.
