640 adventure

[big simp]

Just wondered how many KTM 640 Adventure,s also belong to GS guys as a second bike, bit off a roll call if you like.

Hi Steve,
There's at least another two of us, myself and RickA.
Welcome to the site.

What are they like for taking off-road ?
I’ve had a couple of 650GS`s, they were great, but a bit heavy for serious off-roading.
Is the 640 a similar beast?

 

[earthmover]

My personal opinion, having bought one for its off-road ability, is that it is superior to the 650 GS in that department. A bit more of a handfull than my 250, but very competent.

I ran both an 1150 Adventure and 640 Adventure for a while, the 640 was incredibly competent on and off road despite having quite a high all-in weight when the tank was full.

Both gone now and replaced with a HP2 however I am sure I will have another KTM one day as they are truly brilliant machines

How does the 650GS and the KTM640 Adv compare on road?

Sweet

Sweet looking bike – I’m torn between the KTM & the 800 GS, although I would have to chop in my Africa Twin for either

Hi Trev no still got the GS, and the R80 Basic, love me twins but also very fond off a smaller single like the 640 Adv, vibey but you get used to it, always have had a soft spot for anything Orange that said Katoom up the side off it.

Not so sure David about the 650 as i havent had the pleasure off riding one as yet, but the KTM is a very good bike to say the least,tall it is, but not everyones taste at "905 " seat height.

hi steve
I'm greedy and own a 1200gsa,ktm640(05)and 450exe(04) all used offroad just choose lanes to suit bike

 

[RickA]

My 640, used for Rally comps and 'big bike' trailrides. Use the 450 Berg or the 300 Katoom for the gnarly stuff.

The 640 is a lovely long-distance trail bike and a very competent off roader.

Cheers, Rick.

Do like the the front guard on your bike to be honest Rick

Mine has been converted to that now too. I prefer the look of the low guard, but it just isn't practical in the conditions we want to use it in this country.
