    Those engines are bullet proof, when I was selling KTMs in the 90’s we had a customer who was a motorcycle courier that used a 620sc to do deliveries around the city his bike was still running strong with 170,000km’s on the clock. Cool build

  • @petergriffin4629
    @petergriffin4629 Před 3 lety +2

    We have two 640s in our Garage, one is extensively tuned, the other stock. Contrary to what people write here these bikes are absolutely not indestructible, actually quite the opposite, but when treated well they hold up well. The engine is capable of around 75 hp with a full treatment, so including camshafts, piston, head porting and fine balancing.
    I'd say the number one address in the world actually is APR Tuning out of Germany, Close to where I live.
    Unfortunately spare parts do start to become rare, but they were built a lot and people are starting to reproduce stuff too
