Overview

Introducing the 2007 KTM 560 SMR, a powerhouse in the supermotard category that epitomizes KTM's commitment to performance-oriented design. As a model that bridges the gap between the dirt and the street, the 560 SMR is engineered for those who crave the thrill of agile handling paired with the raw power of a formidable off-road machine. With its aggressive styling, this motorcycle is not just built to dominate the track; it’s a statement of intent for riders who embrace both sport and adventure. At the heart of the 560 SMR lies a robust 565.50 cc single-cylinder, four-stroke engine that breathes life into every ride. With a compression ratio of 11.0:1 and a bore-stroke configuration of 100.0 x 72.0 mm, this machine is designed for rapid acceleration and impressive torque delivery, making it a blast to ride on twisty urban streets or dirt backroads alike. The Keihin MX FCR 41 carburettor ensures that the engine delivers an exhilarating response, while the liquid cooling system keeps temperatures in check, allowing riders to push the limits without fear. The 6-speed gearbox, complemented by a wet multi-disc hydraulic clutch, provides seamless shifts, enabling riders to harness the full potential of this beast. The 2007 KTM 560 SMR isn’t just about brute power; it also boasts a finely-tuned chassis and advanced suspension components that enhance its riding dynamics. The double ground, chromoly-steel frame is both lightweight and resilient, contributing to the motorcycle’s impressive agility. Up front, the WP USD forks with 285 mm of travel and a single disc brake equipped with a Magura 4-piston caliper deliver confident handling and stopping power. Meanwhile, the rear PDS monoshock with 310 mm of travel ensures that every bump is absorbed, offering a smooth ride across varied terrains. With a seat height of 855 mm and ground clearance of 310 mm, the 560 SMR is designed to accommodate a range of riders, providing an exhilarating experience whether you’re carving through city streets or tackling off-road trails. **

Pros

  • Powerful Engine: The single-cylinder engine produces robust torque, making it thrilling for both acceleration and hill climbs.
  • Agile Handling: The lightweight frame and advanced suspension setup provide exceptional maneuverability, perfect for tight corners and quick direction changes.
  • Versatility: Designed for both street and off-road use, the 560 SMR is ideal for riders looking for a multi-purpose machine.

Cons

  • Kick Starter Only: The absence of an electric starter might be inconvenient for some riders, particularly in challenging situations.

  • Height: A seat height of 855 mm may be a challenge for shorter riders, potentially limiting its accessibility to a broader audience.
