About the Bikes

KTM LC4 640

The KTM LC4 640 Supermoto is the civilised bike of the LC4 range. Street legal with the advantage of comfort, electric start and good street spec. It also has the advantage of being able to carry a pillion.
The single cylinder engine is ideal for the twisty mountain roads as it has loads of torque to pull through tight uphill bends.
With its high ground clearance, low weight and wide bars it is easy to manoeuvre through the twisties. Leaving many a sportsbike struggling to keep up!!
