2003 Praga SM 430 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

At the heart of the 2003 Praga SM 430 super motard motorcycle, Praga pairs a 426.7 cc (26 cu in) single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, maximum torque reaches 33 Nm (24.3 lb-ft) at 5,400 rpm. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 95.0 x 60.2 mm (3.7 x 2.4 inches).

On the scales, the SM 430 measures 116 kg (256 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 940 mm (37 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,495 mm (58.9 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 8.3-liter (2.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
