2003 KTM 640 LC4 Supermoto Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Built around KTM's super motard motorcycle platform, the 2003 KTM 640 LC4 Supermoto relies on a 625 cc (38.1 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 54.8 HP (40 kW) at 7,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 55 Nm (40.6 lb-ft) at 5,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 87.7 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (5,500 rpm) and peak power (7,000 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 Supermoto measures 149 kg (328 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.37 HP/kg (2.72 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 12-liter (3.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
