KTM motors introduced the KTM 450 SMR motorcycle as a 2004 year. It was the awaiting alternative to some Japanese and other European motorcycles so many riders rushed to get a feel of the new introduction. They weren’t disappointed as the carbureted 450ccm 4-stroke singlecylinder provided great throttle response while the lightweight Super Moto chassis and low suspensions got the bike incredibly through the corners. KTM completed with 2major requirements for the bike to become a winner: fast through the corners and barely managing to keep the front wheel up under strong acceleration in the straight lines. In order to keep the bike as light as possible, a kick starter was the best option and it was only replaced for 2008 with an El-Starter.
