KTM 640 LC4 Adventure reviews

First of all, my previous bikes were all sportbikes (ie a Ducati 749S and an MV Agusta F4. I was a bit hesistant in getting a KTM 640 Adventure because of two things, Height and Speed. Fine.... this doesn't go 200kmh, but then again, after a mild trail ride with a 950 Adventure Buddy, my skeptisism with regards to the 640 Adventure has totally changed. After a mixture of tarmac twisties (which the bike isnt bad on tarmac.... you just can't lean it as far as road bikes) and semi rough trail.... this is actually FUN. In the city, use your imagination. Traffic? You'll love it- specially when you could get away with the "occassional" pedestrian walkway travel. Not that we are condoning it.... but hey. Show less

Where do I start. If you want a bike that can handle all types of situations, your looking at it. On-road, not the street cruiser feeling, but kind of a Jeep attitude. You get used to the vibration (as slight as it is) and little irks of off road tires (less holding in the twisties). This isn't a roadrocket, BUT when you hit the dirt, you're in control and the smiles begin. Who would of thought such a bike could be made that has good manners on either surface. The power is there and a twist on the throttle lets you know that this is a race bred engine. The suspension (WP) is so smooth,the rocks you encounter might alarm you, but the SMOOTH suspension just eats them up. Realiability, KTM, come-on, world class components and parts are no harder to get than anything else out there. As KTM say's Goooooo! Show less
