Overview

Introducing the 2006 KTM 660 SMC, a thrilling contender in the super motard category that embodies the spirit of the open road and the adrenaline of off-road adventures. With its striking orange and black livery, this motorcycle is a blend of street-savvy performance and rugged durability, designed for riders who crave versatility and excitement. While it may not be officially available in the US market, the 660 SMC has carved a niche for itself among enthusiasts who appreciate its unique character and performance-oriented engineering. At the heart of the 660 SMC lies a robust 654cc single-cylinder, four-stroke engine that delivers a respectable 28.16 HP at 6250 RPM and a hearty torque of 42.5 Nm at just 3250 RPM. This powerplant is designed for quick throttle response, making city commuting or spirited weekend rides a sheer delight. With a compression ratio of 11.7:1 and a Mikuni BST 40 carburettor fueling the engine, the bike promises an exhilarating ride, whether you're navigating tight corners or cruising down open roads. The 5-speed gearbox, coupled with a multi-disc wet clutch, ensures smooth gear shifts and provides the rider with precise control, allowing for seamless acceleration and deceleration. The 660 SMC boasts a lightweight, double-ground chrome-moly-steel frame that is powder-coated for longevity and style. Its suspension setup features a WP-USD front fork with a generous 300 mm of travel and a WP-Monoshock rear with 335 mm of travel, ensuring nimble handling and excellent stability over various terrains. The bike's aggressive stance is complemented by a rake of 27 degrees and a trail of 99 mm, providing optimum cornering capability. With front and rear disc brakes measuring 320 mm and 220 mm respectively, riders can count on responsive stopping power in all riding conditions. Additional features like electric and kick-start options enhance its user-friendly nature, making it a reliable companion for any adventure. **

Pros

  • Lightweight and Agile: Weighing in at just 138 kg (304.2 pounds), the 660 SMC offers outstanding maneuverability, allowing riders to navigate through urban environments and twisty roads with ease.
  • Powerful Torque Band: The engine's strong low-end torque makes it ideal for quick take-offs and effortless acceleration in city traffic or on dirt roads.
  • Versatile Suspension: With generous travel in both front and rear suspension, the bike is well-equipped to handle a variety of terrains, from asphalt to gravel.

Cons

  • Limited Availability: The 660 SMC is not officially available in the US market, making it a rare find for American riders.
  • Heightened Seat: With a seat height of 910 mm (35.8 inches), it may pose a challenge for shorter riders to plant their feet firmly on the ground.
  • Basic Fuel System: While the Mikuni BST 40 carburettor offers reliable performance, it may not be as efficient or smooth as modern fuel injection systems found in newer models.
