Had experience of KTM 640?

[fewtrees]

Anyone test ridden these or had experience of them? If so... what was it like?

[samben]

havn,t tried the 640 but did test ride the 660smc. if you like sitting on a razor blade, holding on for dear life and at the very edge of "out of control" then thats the bike for you.

Do you mean the 640 Adventure ??

Hi, yes, I do mean the 640 Adventure instead of the enduro stuff..

I rode with one from Stansted to Peterborough show ground (He had no trouble keeping up on the motorway) and then had a ride of it around the county showground. I really liked it, although both of my feet didn't touch the floor at the same time. It had a seat especially to make it higher for the owner because he was so tall though.

Very tall , a bit vibey , but as a totally focused overland adventure bike it's right on the money - massive tank range, light , works well at overland/gravel road speeds and built to take the tough stuff.

If I was going to do a Ewan and Charley - it would be my choice.

But not my choice for an everyday ride.

Sound like Fewtrees, to me.

Test rode one a couple of years ago, loved it and wanted it, KTM dealer didn't offer much for the Transalp so didn't bother.

Get a test ride, after the bulk of the AT it will feel like a works motocrosser.
