2006 KTM 950 Supermoto Orange Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

At the heart of the 2006 KTM 950 Supermoto Orange super motard motorcycle, KTM relies on a 942 cc (57.5 cu in) liquid-cooled v2, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 96.6 HP (70.5 kW) at 8,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 94 Nm (69.3 lb-ft) at 6,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 102.5 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (6,500 rpm) and peak power (8,000 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.

On the scales, the 950 Supermoto Orange measures 191 kg (421 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.51 HP/kg (1.98 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 865 mm (34.1 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 17.5-liter (4.6 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
