Positioned in KTM's super motard motorcycle lineup, the 2005 KTM 640 LC4 SMC Orange relies on a 625 cc (38.1 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 53.6 HP (39.2 kW) at 6,750 rpm while maximum torque reaches 60 Nm (44.3 lb-ft) at 5,750 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 85.8 HP per liter and a 1,000 rpm working window between peak torque (5,750 rpm) and peak power (6,750 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the 640 LC4 SMC Orange measures 149 kg (328 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.36 HP/kg (2.78 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 910 mm (35.8 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,510 mm (59.4 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 11.2-liter (3 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
