[UPDATE November 21, 2024: It seems that the KTM dealership has edited the price tag of the 990 RC R following the initial posting of this story. It now carries a sticker price starting at £16,000, or about $20,250 USD. Not bad, but still a massive chunk of change for a middleweight sportbike. Take note that a bike like the Ducati Panigale V2 retails for even less, oh, and bikes like the Yamaha YZF-R9 and Aprilia RS 660 can be had for close to half that money.
But definitely, £16K makes a lot more sense than £37K, and sure, I see die-hard KTM aficionados looking for a razor-sharp middleweight superbike going crazy over this thing. But what do you think? Is $20,000 a reasonable price for this homologation superbike?]
