2010 KTM 990 Superduke 1.0L Petrol · VX60 LBE

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a persistent and unresolved mechanical issue. The most recent test in April 2025 at 14,523 miles resulted in a pass despite an advisory for a noisy exhaust. This specific fault appeared in the April 2024 test at 13,545 miles, showing that the exhaust system or mounting has not been addressed by previous owners. Beyond this recurring defect, the motorcycle has avoided major failures in recent years. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 16-year-old machine, averaging approximately 900 miles per year. There is a notable three-year gap between the June 2020 and March 2023 tests, during which the bike covered only 818 miles. While the low mileage generally reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, such long periods of standing can lead to the degradation of rubber components and seals. The recent accumulation of 2,625 miles between 2023 and 2025 suggests consistent but limited usage in the current period. A buyer must physically inspect the exhaust system to determine if the noise is caused by a leak, a loose baffle, or loose heat shields, as this has persisted for three consecutive tests. The March 2022 test flagged both front and rear tyres as being near the legal limit, indicating that basic consumable maintenance is sometimes deferred until failure occurs. Given the low mileage and age, a thorough check is required for perished vitall hoses, seized brake calipers, and corrosion on the fork seals, which often occur on vehicles that remain stationary for extended durations.
