[QUOTE=Supermoto Junkie;1767733]I've had a few road-tards now,
a XR650R.....cheap, reliable, resonable fast
a WR450......not so cheap, maybe faster, probably as reliable

around the 10 mark would be good...
I've had the Husaberg 650 and a KTM 620 SMC both awsome reliable road legal tools. The Berg was more full on, powerful and fun to ride but a little high maintenance, the KTM is a good commuter tool through the week and a blast at the weekend type of bike.

So far the theory holds up... But I tend to use ground cover as well - like low-flying planes and helicopters eh. Just think 4x4s, lorries and people movers instead of hills and vegetation.
Haven't had any enquiries from the fuzz yet - although my poor behaviour is consistent and pretty much every day. Gotta do what we can to stay awake during that morning commute!![]()

Hi Choppa
How come You are selling Your 640?
I have decided, after HOURS of reading reviews etc, scouring the Net for info about speed, reliability, FUN etc that the KTM 690SMC is the Bike for Me,
Am I right in thinking its really just a newer version of Your 640?
Thats wy I was wondering why You are selling it.
What do Others tink of the KTM 690 SMC, NOT the 690 Supermoto, they seem a bit bloated for a Supermoto,
Thanks
My bikes all belong to speedtech and they have put me on a new zx10 now so basically its only getting sold to keep funding other projects unfortunatly because as a road bike nothing is better in terms of being easy to ride, fun, dont have to be going everywhere a 100mph to enjoy it. THe 690 is the bike thats taken its place i havnt ridden one but like all road going motards they are big bikes and not the sort of thing you will go around a mx track on like a proper supermoto bike but i was talking to greg from boyds about it and he has one for the road and loves it! I think they look the business but the price tag seems high for the bike...
The 690 series has a balance shaft and makes for a smoother ride. It also has a six-speed box and 'anti-hop' clutch as standard... They are good for about 185kph, or thereabouts...
I'm not sure what the 640 above weighs but the SMC is 139-ish. The SM is about 154.
Most of the guys that have the SMC's are pretty happy with them, barring a few niggles here and there...
As said above, it's more a street motard as opposed to a race one but some guys have raced them and had heaps of fun. The SMC is still more motard than the SM though...
If I had the money, I'd be riding the SMC but mine's pretty good at the moment for what I need...
