Ktm 950 Supermoto LC8 motorcycle; crossing motorway bridge in Greater Manchester, UK
KTM's 950 Supermoto (SM) shares the same basic engine and topnotch WP suspension as its older sibling, the 950 Adventure (which has grown to 990cc). To make it handle better on pavement, the 950 SM is blessed with a shorter wheelbase, 17-inch wheels shod with sportbike tires and better brakes. Its potent Dakar-proven, 950cc liquid-cooled LC8 engine is rated 98 horsepower peaking at 8,000 rpm, with max torque of 69 at 6,500 revs. The sporty DOHC four-valve-per-cylinder V-twin delivers pleasing torque-rich power across a broad rpm range. Torque remains relatively steady from three grand all the way to eight, then tapering off until the rev limiter hits around 9,000 rpm.
