Pros and Cons in comparison

Pros and Cons in comparison

KTM 690 SMC R 2019

KTM 690 SMC R 2019

A large, powerful single cylinder, a stable chassis, just over 160 kg of tractive weight and modern electronics for support - the key data alone suggests a lot of riding pleasure. In 2024, the SMC-R may be a little dusty in some respects and is no longer the undisputed queen of road-legal supermotos, but it can still offer a lot of supermoto fun and performance.

Powerful engine

Electronics can support safety or supermoto manoeuvres as required

Stable, fully adjustable suspension

Agile riding performance

Good ergonomics

Low fuel consumption

Great quickshifter

Old LC display and halogen headlights no longer up to date

Suspension could absorb small bumps more harmoniously

Brakes not overly sensitive

The CBF goes a little more in the sensible direction, i.e. more range, even more riding comfort and higher reserves when fully loaded. The XJ6 is clearly bolder, rides more to the heart and, despite the absolutely sensible technical data, also passes as a casual motorbike for younger riders.

Sophisticated look

effective wind protection

pleasant seating comfort

all-rounder.

Suboptimal engine with little power delivery
