KTM Other description

 Up for auction is a 1997 KTM duke 620cc supermoto. Don't let her age fool you. This motorcycle is very competitive still to this day. Included as standard equipment are:

Liquid Cooled, four stroke, single Cylinder. SOHC, 4 Valve per cylinder,

Front Suspension: White Power 4054 RO/Top Adjuster  142mm wheel travel
Rear suspension: White Power monoshock 4681 BAVP Single Adjuster 170 mm wheel travel

Single 220mm disc Brembo 1 piston caliper
Dry Weight:
145 kg
Avg MPG: 37
Braking 100-0: 118 ft
1/4 mile time: 13.1

As you can see by today's standards this motorcycle is still be very competitive. There are basically three things this bike is good for. 1) wheelies. With her light weight and large front forks wheelies do not put any stress on the suspension unlike newer/heavier motorcycles. 2) Running a curvy road. This motorcycle has been through Deal's Gap AKA The Tail of the Dragon so many times I have lost count. 3) Sliding through gears. You will go through gears FAST. She likes to be rode fast.

The following modifications have been made.
Michelin Pilot Powers front and rear
Kiehin FCR41
Aftermarket KTM supermoto pipe
Re jetted Carb on dyno
 
The reason I am selling her is that I no longer have a good place to ride. I live in VA on the Eastern Shore and there is a lack of any curvy roads. It breaks my heart to have to sell her. The motorcycle is located in Knoxville, TN. If you want more pictures and any more info please feel free to email me.

If you’re at all in tune with the fashion world, then the Matchless name might be familiar, as many A-list celebrities wear the Matchless-labeled clothing managed by Michele Malenotti.

Small-Displacement Class Considered for 2015 AMA Pro Racing Season

Wed, 04 Dec 2013

More and more manufacturers are entering the small-displacement sportbike market and AMA Pro Racing has taken notice, opening the possibility of adding a new racing class representing the growing segment. With plans to consolidate the Daytona Sportbike and Supersport classes and the Vance & Hines Harley-Davidson series signed through 2015, a spot will open up on race weekends for another racing class to support the premier Superbike Championship. The logical choice is to introduce a new small-displacement class.

KTM RC8R: The first month

Thu, 24 May 2012

First impressions are everything so the gearbox niggles on the first RC8s meant I didn’t become an instant fan. There was never a problem for normal road riding but when the pace was increased on track days false neutrals were found and gears were missed. Ironically I might have been able to help here as KTM signed me up for pre-production shakedown testing before I got sidelined with appendicitis.
