Back in 2009, I rode your new 990 through Washington State to California before I sold it here for what I paid.. It was an 08 like the one in your photo.
It's a fun bike. It's even faster than the Superhawk by a little bit.
The only "issues" you will have is a little vibration in the pegs and the position needs to be lower in front or the wind blast will wear you down on a multi-day ride. This can be solved by wider rubber pegs and a screen or lower bars.
Have fun.
Edit: I see you've got a screen on that thing. I stopped and bought one like that for the trip home at a shop in South Washington.

Yes... I was planning to make this trip across country. And I still am. I bought another bike with a slightly longer range. Roughly 200 miles per tank which is huge in percentages. I am still making the trip. No changes. Just the bike and probably the amount of cargo is less.
I am pretty sure that the new VTR owner will join up.

Nice ride!
I was once only inline 4 fan, nothing but inlines. Then i got a KTM Supermoto and started to like the thumpers and their torque, but still missed the speed of the sport bikes.
Then i find the perfect match between them with the V2 Superhawk(firestorm here).
BTW there are saome sayings about the KTMs(not true due to me)
K - crankshaeft
T - till
M - monday
and one in Bulgarian
K - карам(ride)
T - тикам(push)
M - мъча се(suffer)
However, I like KTMs, the are great!

I ripped the CV carb off and installed Sudco FCR41 as well as gutted the cans and rebuilt them with new inserts and packing
