The KTM 690 SMC, launched in 2008, is a supermoto motorcycle renowned for its aggressive styling, potent performance, and thrilling handling. The 2009 model year saw minimal changes from the original, carrying over the iconic orange-and-black livery and the single-cylinder, liquid-cooled, fuel-injected 690cc engine. This engine, capable of producing 67 horsepower and 52 lb-ft of torque, provided a potent punch for the street and track, allowing for quick acceleration and exhilarating power delivery. The 690 SMC's lightweight, tubular steel frame, paired with a WP suspension, offered exceptional handling and agility, making it a preferred choice for riders seeking a nimble and responsive bike for both street riding and track days. Beyond its performance, the 690 SMC was also praised for its practicality. Featuring a comfortable, upright riding position, the SMC was well-suited for commuting and touring, while its compact dimensions and low seat height made it accessible for riders of various heights. However, the SMC's aggressive nature shone through in its focus on track-ready features like its grippy street-legal Pirelli Diablo Rosso tires, Brembo brakes with radial calipers providing strong stopping power, and its signature high-set, single-sided swingarm. The 690 SMC's combination of sportiness, practicality, and affordability made it a popular choice for riders seeking a versatile and fun-to-ride motorcycle that could handle anything from daily commutes to track days.
