Overview

Introducing the 2007 KTM 450 SMR, a super motard that stands out in a crowded market with its potent blend of off-road heritage and on-road agility. This machine is engineered for enthusiasts who crave exhilarating performance, whether carving up city streets or tearing through twisty backroads. The 450 SMR perfectly embodies KTM's commitment to creating motorcycles that deliver raw power and precision handling, making it a top contender in the super motard category. At the heart of the 450 SMR is a robust 449.40 ccm single-cylinder four-stroke engine that thrives on adrenaline. With a compression ratio of 12.0:1 and a Keihin MX FCR 41 carburettor fueling its fire, this powerplant delivers an impressive surge of torque and horsepower that will leave you grinning ear to ear. The 6-speed gearbox, paired with a hydraulically operated wet multi-disc clutch, ensures smooth shifting and allows riders to harness that power effectively. Whether you’re navigating tight corners or launching off the line, the engine’s responsive nature and liquid cooling keep performance consistent, ensuring you stay in the zone. What truly sets the 2007 KTM 450 SMR apart are its advanced features and technology. The double ground chromoly-steel frame is not only lightweight at 108.5 kg (239.2 pounds) but also incredibly rigid, enhancing stability and control as you maneuver through corners. The WP USD front suspension with a diameter of 48 mm and the WP monoshock PDS at the rear offer superior suspension performance, allowing riders to tackle rough terrain with confidence. The braking system, featuring a powerful Magura 4-piston caliper at the front and a Brembo single-piston caliper at the rear, ensures impressive stopping power, making every ride not just thrilling but also safe. **

Pros

  • Powerful Engine Performance: The single-cylinder engine delivers exhilarating acceleration and responsiveness, providing an engaging riding experience.

Cons

  • Kick Start Only: The absence of an electric starter may deter some riders who prefer the convenience of a push-button start.
