Motorcycle specifications KTM640 SUPERMOTO 1998 In the shoes of Van Den Bosch

presentation of the 640 SUPERMOTO 1998

sharing the same engine as the Duke II, this KTM is an authentic supermotard machine that's perfectly comfortable for everyday urban use, but also suitable for two-up riding, as it also features passenger footrests. the LC4 block gives off a few unpleasant vibrations, but is bursting with torque. If you're not careful, it systematically sends the machine wheeling every time you start up. Efficient but linear, the mill combines with a rigorous chassis to transform the road into a playground, making the KTM a real toy, equally at home in everyday use or on a weekend jaunt.

Ak_Dref Model 1998

I've had my 2004 model 640 for 4 months now, and I still get the same feeling in the morning when I open the garage
Mounted on supercorsa tires, this bike sticks to the pavement, it vibrates, it bangs, but it's a real pleasure, with monstrous torque
In town, no one can match it
One small drawback is that this bike attracts a lot of attention, and as there's no storage space, you always have to carry around your anti-theft device. 07/24/2009 11:04 Rating : 5/5 Respond to Ak_Dref

Djé Model 1998

In any case, KTM has understood everything. High-performance bikes with a devastating look (2005 model), an engine that's right on the money, both supple and responsive, perfect road handling, perfect city driving (take your sports bikes to the traffic lights, kids, because this machine will take you 200m). It's an engine that likes to stay on the revs; forget about under-revs, it coughs (unlike the Japanese...advantage or disadvantage?!), and after-sales service without too many problems. Personally, since I've been with KTM, I've never had any problems (unlike Arilia, for example)
Equally at home on small, winding country roads or on the open road, the only thing you'll regret is the original tires, which take too long to warm up for my taste (and when it's cold...it's slippery!)
If you like it, try it, you'll be delighted. 04/21/2006 09:43 Rating : 5/5 Respond to Djé

koolexavy Model 1998

A bike that lets you ride every day, have fun on twisty roads, and even try out circuit riding from time to time, without having to make expensive conversions: I'll never part with it! A few modifications: a complete line (a KTM factory for my pert), clear the air filter cover and fit a racing filter (still from ktm) that already saves 4-5 hp. 01/10/2005 00:13 Rating : 5/5 Respond to koolexavy

lou Model 1998

For thrill-seekers, this bike will suit you, but for wimps it's a bit tricky. 5500 rpm is enough to make older KTM models pale in comparison 01/10/2005 00:12 Rating : 5/5 Respond to lou

pellou le Model 1998

very nice bike, especially after the restyling of the 2005 model! It's a fantastic pleasure to ride, and maybe even more efficient than the sportbikes when cornering at low and medium speeds! 01/10/2005 00:12 Rating : 5/5 Respond to pellou le
