KTM 625 SMC 2005

For power freaks, the KTM 625SMC is an excellent compromise in road use. The iron marches splendidly, has an e-start, reasonable service intervals and also offers some comfort. In terms of handling and agility, it can't quite keep up with the two lightweights 450 Husky and 650 Berg.

No matter which platform Kawasaki puts the 650 cubic two-cylinder in, the result is always a great motorbike! Even though the engine is unusually rev-happy for a cruiser, it results in a cruiser that actually qualifies as a sports cruiser when paired with the sporty chassis set-up. The only brake is the limited lean angle clearance, but this will not deter lovers of hearty footrest grinding. With such a good bike, we hope that Kawasaki will follow suit - after all, the Vulcan S has been with us almost unchanged since 2015.
