Revving Up for Exciting Times
KTM has set the motorcycle world ablaze with the announcement of production start dates for their much-anticipated larger capacity models! After a few bumps in the road that would make any biker wince, the assembly lines are revving up in Mattighofen, Austria. They’re not just churning out machines; they’re crafting the future of motorcycling with style and flair.

The Grand Unveiling at EICMA
According to KTM’s CEO, Gottfried Neumeister, the excitement has reached an all-time high following the announcements at EICMA and other national trade shows. With models like the 1390 Super Duke GT set to storm onto the scene by 2027 and production of the new sporty 990 Duke R starting in November, it seems that the only thing more thrilling than the bikes themselves is the adrenaline buzz in the air!
From Challenges to Triumphs
It’s been a rollercoaster for KTM, to say the least. After a precarious self-administration period, they shifted gears and restarted production. Now, in addition to the 990RCR sportsbike making its debut in October 2025, the arrival of the vibrant 390 Enduro R models is just the icing on the cake, having already started rolling into the UK. And for those looking for peace of mind, KTM is serving up a complimentary four-year warranty on their new LC8 V-twins and parallel twins from 2023 to 2026.
So, buckle up and get ready for a wild ride! With KTM’s latest lineup, it’s clear that the road ahead is packed with innovation, performance, and quite frankly, a lot of horsepower.
