2007 KTM 690 Supermoto Review

The beginning of a new legend: the new 690 Supermoto pulverizes all borders. From the high performance LC4 engine to the sporty six-gear transmission right up to the rally-tested exhaust system – it’s all been newly invented.

New. Feeling Greedy? One look at the new 690 Supermoto says more than a thousand words. And a test ride says more than a thousand looks. So call the dealer, take a look, take a ride and be speechless.
