Motorcycle reviewed 2002 ATK 605 CC-ES view listing

I just bought my third ATK today. I previously had a 2002 ATK 260LQ, which was amazing in the tight woods and a 1997 ATK 605 DS/ES for dual sporting. I sold my 605 a few years back and had regretted it ever since. There is no such thing as a perfect motorcycle, but I'm here to tell you the... read more
I just bought my third ATK today. I previously had a 2002 ATK 260LQ, which was amazing in the tight woods and a 1997 ATK 605 DS/ES for dual sporting. I sold my 605 a few years back and had regretted it ever since. There is no such thing as a perfect motorcycle, but I'm here to tell you the ATK 605 comes very close. The best components money can buy right out of the box: Reliable 50+ horsepower Rotax air-cooled engine with electric and kick starting, Paioli 46 mm forks, Ohlin shock, 3.6-gallon fuel tank, 13.2-inches of rear wheel travel, 11.8 inches of front, wide-ratio 5-speed transmission, Talon billet aluminum hubs, Answer Protaper handlebars, D.I.D. O-ring drive chain, braided stainless steel brake lines, lighted speedometer with reset odometer, Halogen headlight, keyed ignition, DOT approved Dunlop tires, Supertrapp stainless steel exhaust with tunable muffler, Motion Pro and Barnett control cables, Radialite rear sprocket with mud grooves, and more - ALL COMES STOCK!!!

My '97 ATK 605 is astonishing. Basically, take a Honda XR650, trim about 50 pounds of weight off, and add aftermarket springs, forks, bars, and everything else and you will end up with a stock ATK. The fastest, most innovative machine I have ever owned. Made in America still means something... read more

I have a 99 atk 605, and it's the best built, fun, fast bike I've ridden. I have some friends that ride with me on their jap bikes that just can't hang. You might pay a little more in the begining, but it's worth every penny down the road. Great customer support! How many bike companies can you... read more
I have a 99 atk 605, and it's the best built, fun, fast bike I've ridden. I have some friends that ride with me on their jap bikes that just can't hang. You might pay a little more in the begining, but it's worth every penny down the road. Great customer support! How many bike companies can you actually talk to the CEO with questions? Not any other than ATK! Thanks Frank White!

I am the original owner of a 1990 ATK 406E (the ported 6 speed version). It has been ridden extensively in Cross Country (aka Hare Scrambles) events and for trail riding. The bike has held up well except for the exhaust pipe. I continuously have issues with the pipe cracking. The powerband was pipey with the stock pipe but changing to an MX pipe and adding two teeth to the rear sprocket smoothed out the powerband immensely. At top speed there are not many bikes that can keep up. This bike does require you to modify your riding style to accommodate it's quirks. It is DEFINITELY NOT a putt putt slow bike. The harder you push it the better it responds. The frame and components are top notch and extremely reliable. It is a pain to work on though. When I changed the footpegs it was one of those, "to remove the footpegs you have to remove the skidplate, to remove the skidplate you have to remove the master cylinder, to remove the master cylinder you have to remove the pipe, to remove the pipe you have to ... well you get the idea. The bike is still going strong and I still like it.

I have the 1994 version without the countershaft brake. Absolutely love the bike! More than enough trackable power, light weight, awesome White Power suspension and plenty of billet parts. Wonderful woods, street or whatever you want bike. Recommend a pipe change for a smoother power band. Easy and relible starting. Will never let you down. Parts a fast and easy to get. Super factory support with anything. Easy converstion to a street legal dual sport. Good ice racer, too.!!!!!!

ATK produced a stellar classic techno dirt racer when it debued this beautiful piece of work. Chain brake on the rear, rear shock off to the left side, all make for strange but awesome riding geometries, but only if you put in the time to learn how to ride her the way she wants you to ride... read more
