KTM comes in 1999 with the new motorcycle 640 LC4 Supermoto. This KTM 640 has a liquid-cooled, SOHC, single cylinder. This engine is extreme reliable and powerful for this class. Providing it’s not still sitting on the dreadful Pirelli MT60 tyres it comes with the KTM 640 LC4 Supermoto handles sharply. The fully-adjustable WP suspension and four-piston Brembo brakes mean confident stopping is just a two-finger tug away.

My KTM 640 LC4 Adventure is very vibey, even for a single. Vibration runs through your arms, legs and groin and a long ride leaves you feeling like you’ve got fizzy pop not blood running through your veins. And while the screen may look impressive it’s largely useless above 130 Km (80 mph). However, if you can ignore those whopping shortcomings the handling is extremely good thanks to the sophisticated WP shock and forks, with excellent braking courtesy of two 300 mm discs up front.
