2021 KTM 450 SMR Track Test Review - Cycle News

[@daveyt4802]

Yep, best MC racing there is.

@Ford Paxton whats wrong with you

[@TheDriversPerspective]

Supermoto is the best. Just got myself another WR250R and set it up for Supermoto. These types of bikes are THE most fun you can have on two wheels.

[@mxengineer1]

Looks like you were having fun: Nothing like a 450 moto bike set up for Super Moto....especially on the street:)

[@sunnesonne]

And perfect for the stunts

[@jopsball-turret6969]

Can someone tell me how this 450 would compare to the 690 for blasting around twisties and wheelies. Come from sport bikes but want a supermoto and not sure what I’m looking at yet and why the video doesn’t compare the 690 to this bike. Thanks

[@jelle3992]

This 450 would smoke the 690 in twisties. However, it only has 5 gears, high maintenance intervals (every 5u oil change) and the 450 is not street legal from factory. For longer rides & comfort, the 690 is more suited. Also for wheelies/stunting, the 450 is the better choice. An EXC 450 is than the better alternative imo for road: it has 6 gears, 15u oil change, street legal from factory and still very light. + these engines from the newer models (+2014) are very reliable and robuust.

I got the 690 SMCR , full akrapovic exhaust, and ktm racing camshaft, I guess, …. Yes I’m French 😂 and it was an absolute blast. A beast. I would say on a twisty little track the lightweight of the 450 is a plus, but on the street 690 SMCR IS a lot better fo me. I would take A 690 to ride with friends 😅

S1GP Guys Enduro?

[@cvot378]

How top speed KMH ?

[@brianhill3837]

Is it street legal?

[@cyclenews]

Not street legal

[@CodyBunker]

@@cyclenews would it be easier to convert to a street bike than converting the sfx to a supermoto street bike?

[@cyclenews]

@@CodyBunker It's the same problem. The SX-F is a track-only bike so not street legal. You could potentially take something like a 500 EXC and make that into a motard, which wouldn't be too hard to do, but you won't be able to do it on an SX-F or SM-R 450

[@bve7397]

@@CodyBunker there is a guy who made a tutorial how to, but wouldnt suggest with that maintanence schedule
