Great Power but Very Expensive
I’m a die-hard adventure bike lover and have tried various sports bikes. When I saw the KTM 690-smc-r for the first time, I couldn’t resist and gave it a test drive. This bike comes with a very updated engine, brembo brakes, and superior handling. But it is not meant for short people. It is also very expensive than its competitors. The seats are not very comfortable compared to other sports bikes. The bike comes with an autoblipper and quick shifter that keep you from the hassle of grabbing the clutch lever unless you’re planning to stop the bike.
