Praga SM 610

Introducing the 2005 Husqvarna SM 610, a striking embodiment of the super motard genre that perfectly balances agility, power, and style. Designed for riders who crave a thrilling experience on both the street and the track, this motorcycle stands out in a competitive market with its robust construction and spirited performance. Husqvarna, a brand synonymous with off-road excellence, brought its engineering prowess to the urban landscape, creating a machine that appeals to enthusiasts seeking versatility and excitement in their rides. At the heart of the SM 610 lies a potent 576.28cc single-cylinder, four-stroke engine that delivers a perfect blend of torque and responsiveness. With a compression ratio of 9.0:1 and a sophisticated carburettor system utilizing either a Dell'Orto PHBH or Mikuni BST, 40 mm, this powerhouse generates exhilarating acceleration and a throaty exhaust note that’s music to any rider's ears. Paired with a 6-speed gearbox, the SM 610 offers smooth shifting and a top-end performance that keeps the rider engaged on twisty roads or city streets. The motorcycle's lightweight design, tipping the scales at just 148.3 kg (326.9 lbs), further enhances its nimbleness, allowing for confident cornering and agile maneuverability. The SM 610 is not just about raw power; it is equipped with a host of features that enhance both comfort and performance. The frame, constructed from a steel single-tube cradle with a rear frame of steel square tubes, provides exceptional durability while maintaining a low weight. Its suspension setup boasts an upside-down Marzocchi telescopic hydraulic fork in the front and a progressive soft damp rear suspension, delivering 250 mm and 285 mm of travel respectively—ideal for absorbing bumps and ensuring a smooth ride. With a ground clearance of 240 mm and a comfortable seat height of 850 mm, the bike is as capable on rough terrain as it is on urban roads. The electric starter and striking black color option add to its contemporary appeal, making it a head-turner wherever it roams. **
