Ktm 690 Smc R
The Ktm 690 Smc R has a top speed of ~175 km/h, produces 74 hp and weighs 148 kg. Motoryk rates it 8/10.
A KTM 690 SMC R é uma supermoto de alto desempenho construída em torno da plataforma de motor monocilíndrico LC4 da KTM, com a moderna variante R introduzida em 2012 e significativamente atualizada em 2019 com melhorias na injeção de combustível, condução por fio e controle de tração e ABS nas curvas. Ele é derivado das plataformas 690 Duke e 690 Enduro R, tornando-o um dos supermotos de fábrica mais capazes e versáteis disponíveis. A moto é famosa por seu chassi leve, ergonomia agressiva e fornecimento de potência surpreendentemente utilizável, tornando-a a favorita tanto dos hooligans de rua quanto dos ciclistas ocasionais.

O que os compradores devem saber
Watch the Valve Intervals
The LC4 single-cylinder engine requires valve clearance checks every 15,000 km — skipping this is the most common cause of costly engine damage on used examples. Always ask for service history before buying.
Supermoto Street Weapon
The 690 SMC R ships with WP suspension, Brembo brakes, and road-legal supermoto geometry, making it one of the most capable factory supermoto bikes available without aftermarket upgrades.
Strong Resale Value
KTM 690 SMC R models hold their value exceptionally well due to limited supply and high demand from enthusiasts. Well-maintained examples typically sell for 85–90% of their original price within the first two years.

"A faca de supermoto monocilíndrica mais afiada disponível."
A 690 SMC R foi lançada como a supermoto definitiva de fábrica e, ao passar por dificuldades técnicas, você entende imediatamente o porquê: aquela única LC4 dispara com um golpe brutal e acelerado que o empurra para frente de uma forma que nenhum gêmeo paralelo pode replicar nessas velocidades. Com 148 kg de umidade, parece quase absurdamente leve no meio da curva, e a suspensão WP lida com as imperfeições da estrada com competência genuína, em vez da sensação de chafurdar em enduros convertidos. No entanto, as desvantagens honestas são reais: a vibração acima de 130 km/h faz os dentes baterem, o assento é um dispositivo de punição em qualquer coisa acima de uma hora e os primeiros exemplos tinham hábitos de consumo de óleo que exigiam que você verificasse o visor a cada dois tanques. Não é uma bicicleta de turismo, não é uma bicicleta de passeio, e a altura do assento de 880 mm fará com que os ciclistas mais baixos andem na ponta dos pés nas paradas, mas se você pedalar da maneira que ela exige, não há nada nas vias públicas que pareça tão vivo.

Avaliação do comprador usado
"An absolute weapon that rewards diligent buyers and destroys lazy ones."
$6,500-$10,500 usedThe 690 SMC R is genuinely one of the most addictive motorcycles you can buy used, but go in with your eyes open. That 690 Duke single is an absolute riot — torquey, responsive, and sounds properly angry — but it needs maintenance done on schedule or it'll bite you hard. Check the valve clearances have been done (every 15,000km), and walk away from anything that sounds rattly at idle. The WP suspension is excellent if it's been serviced, completely soggy and vague if it hasn't. On the used market, watch for crash damage religiously — these things get flogged through parking lots and industrial estates by riders who think they're Marko Jerman. Footpeg hangers, subframes, and bodywork tell the story. Pre-2019 models had some fuel pump gremlins, so budget for that. The 2019 onwards refresh sorted most issues and added supermoto ABS, which is actually useful rather than intrusive. Buy one in good nick and you'll grin every single ride. Buy a neglected one and you'll fund KTM's parts department single-handedly.
