KTMs’s excellent history with dirt bikes served them well when they decided to become one of the few OEMs to offer supermotos from the factory floor. One of their best offerings was the 625 SMC – here’s an example that’s got a few choice farkles, as well.
The 625 motor is a single overhead cam liquid cooled thumper. It’s similar to the LC4 motor in KTM’s 640 but it’s missing a balancer shaft (you’ll notice the vibration). Still, high spec components like four-piston Brembo brakes and fully-adjustable WP suspension mean you won’t care about the shaking because you’ll be too busy tearing up corners with a goofy smile on your face. The motor puts out 53 horsepower and it weighs just 321 pounds. Peak torque is low, making it a thrilling city bike/commuter if you’re feeling ambitious. For more on the SMC, check out this review from MCN – they call it the best of the KTM supermoto lineup as a good balance of race performance with convenience like an electric starter.
This example has 8,800 miles and plenty of extras – including a Corbin seat and GPR twin exhaust. The sale includes the original exhaust, as well as a jet kit, sprockets, owners manual, and a 250 page KTM maintenance manual. You’ll also get some spare parts and an Acerbis dual headlight. The seller says it’s ready to go and that he’s letting the bike go to fund a trip to Baja – shame he has to sell a bike, but he’s going to enjoy that trip!
