Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a demanding, high-strung supermoto best suited to experienced riders who are comfortable with a light, powerful, kick-start-only single-cylinder machine.
PurposeBuilt primarily for supermoto track days and aggressive cornering fun rather than commuting or long-distance riding.
Rider FitIts tall seat height, minimal weight, and abrupt big-single power delivery demand an active, fit rider comfortable standing on pegs and managing a top-heavy feel at low speed.
CharacterRazor-sharp, flickable, and raw, this bike rewards aggressive input with explosive agility and precise cornering feedback at the expense of refinement and comfort.
Not Ideal ForIt is not a good fit for new riders, passengers, long highway journeys, or anyone wanting plush comfort and low maintenance.

2006 KTM 560 SMR Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 855mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with tip-toe one foot on the 2006 KTM 560 SMR, with a relaxed knee angle of around 135 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
