The KTM 609 SMC R is probably the last singles-bike available in the market. It offers a thrilling ride, I recently took my neighbor’s bike for a ride. The experience was impressive. It’s extremely agile on all road conditions and the handling is easy. On the packed city roads, the KTM 609 SMC R is a great negotiator of traffic. It accommodates a range of riding styles but the bike is essentially sporty. But the bike is highly overpriced. Unless you are a thrill freak, this bike won’t serve your purpose.

Ultra light KTM model that offers fun filled smooth riding capacity
Since I am more into brief rides on my bike, I felt this would be best suited for me this time. I bought this model only after I got convinced by the sales personnel out there on its fun filled riding capacity. They also kept on appreciating about the response of the throttle... Read More

Electronically equipped KTM model that offers refined engine
This electronically enriched bike could easily win my heart when I bought it. I was considering myself lucky to have gone for this. This is excellently equipped with dual riding modes, a quick shifter, cornering ABS along with a traction control. Its dash setup appeared to be... Read More

Experience speed like never before while riding this performance oriented KTM
So far, no matter which all models I have ridden so far, certain trivial issues I always had with those. Same goes with my recent KTM bike too. But if I keep those minor problems aside, I need to highlight on its positive attributes. First and foremost, this can excite any rides... Read More

Raises the bar in the supermoto segment
If you want agility in your ride, then you can't find a better choice than the KTM 690 SMC R. Supermoto requires power, a feather-light feel, and nimbleness which this bike provides in abundance. Despite its dry weight of roughly 360 pounds, it feels noticeably lighter while in... Read More
