Designing the 640 Adventure Traveller’s Edition,
KTM people intended to obtain a smaller version of the 990 Adventure, so it is
obvious why we’re facing a ready-to-go-anywhere looking machine.
KTM is a Dakar master so when it comes to Dual Sport machines the fairing and
two small headlights
are a must. Aerodynamic looking and ready for the long haul, the Traveller’s
Edition is one uniquely styled bike. The color is, of course, KTM orange.
Like a true desert machine, the 640 features a bigger front wheel (21”) for
easy dealing with the bumps and the rear wheel (18”) is there to provide
tractable power in any situations. The rims are black so that they would
create a nice contrast fairing’s color. So is the seat.
Inspired on the much bigger,
Paris-Dakar winning motorcycle (KTM 990 Adventure), the 640 Dual Sport
motorcycle presented by KTM retains only the good features such as
versatility, agility, power and gets reed of the unnecessarily weight and
size, resulting in an easy to ride all around motorcycle with plenty of
power coming from the LC4 single-cylinder engine which proved successful on
many KTM models (the Duke, SMC, LC4).
