Introducing the 2007 KTM 660 SMC, a dominant force in the super motard category that has captivated riders with its exhilarating performance and agile handling. KTM has positioned this motorcycle as a bridge between dirt and street, allowing enthusiasts to enjoy the best of both worlds. With its rugged design and fierce attitude, the 660 SMC is perfect for those who crave adrenaline and adventure, whether navigating tight urban corners or tackling off-road trails with confidence. At the heart of the 660 SMC lies a powerful 654cc single-cylinder, four-stroke engine that churns out an impressive 28.16 HP at 6250 RPM. This robust engine is engineered for torque, delivering 42.50 Nm at 3250 RPM, providing riders with a thrilling low-end punch that excels in stop-and-go traffic and during quick bursts of acceleration. The liquid-cooling system ensures optimal performance, while the Keihin MX FCR 41 carburettor feeds the engine with precision, ensuring crisp throttle response. With a lightweight chassis weighing in at just 138 kg (304.2 pounds), the 660 SMC offers an extraordinary power-to-weight ratio of 0.2041 HP/kg, enhancing its agility and responsiveness on the road. The 2007 KTM 660 SMC is not just about raw power; it’s also equipped with cutting-edge features that elevate the riding experience. The double ground chromoly-steel frame provides exceptional rigidity while being lightweight, and the WP USD front suspension coupled with a WP Monoshock at the rear offers a smooth ride over uneven surfaces. With a front brake diameter of 320 mm and a rear of 220 mm, the braking system delivers confidence-inspiring stopping power. The motorcycle’s distinctive styling, including a commanding seat height of 910 mm and ample ground clearance of 290 mm, ensures that riders feel both connected to the machine and the road. **

Pros
