KTM's 690 SMC R supermoto is getting fresh attention as a machine that blends dirt-bike agility with sportbike grip. Its 692.7cc single makes 77.9hp, the bike weighs a lean 322lb dry, and it carries a chromoly trellis frame with Brembo brakes. Pricing starts at $13,399.
Just seeing 77.9 horsepower against 322 pounds, I can already feel the throttle under my fingers. That lightness becomes a weapon from corner entry to exit. With real Brembo stoppers on it too, this isn't some commuter toy — it's a genuine trackday weapon.

I keep hearing 'supermoto' but what actually makes it different from a normal bike?
If it does both on and off road it could work for touring too
$13,399 feels like a bold price for a supermoto
Priced per horsepower it's not actually that overpriced though
322 pounds and 77.9hp, you can just chuck this thing around, amazing
Light is great but don't get cocky and lowside it
