how different are they

xlthumper · 04-12-2013, 02:37 PM

ok i have a 2006 640 adventure. i now it is looesely based on the 660 rallye design, how different are they really? suspension, frame, engine similar or completely different, of course i know the street stuff will be different so i am not wondering about that,

Which 660 are you referring to mate?
The 99'-00' rallye models of similar shape, feel the same although the engine is much better the suspension is better, they carry a heap more fuel and sound awesome compared to any Adventurer, the 01'-06' is a whole lot more different and 2 times better again and feels nothing like an Adventurer to sit on, the power is incredible and the sound of the induction between you legs give me a chubby just sitting on one at idle, let alone when you roll on the throttle to redline, just awesome!
Trying to turn a Adventure into a rally is a slow painful and expensive exercise, much easier and better to find and buy the real deal in my opinion.
If you are wanting the ultimate Adventure bike for 'riding',not carrying 2 tonnes of crap, not doing endless miles on the black top, but riding it for what its built for, nothing on this planet compares to the KTM Rallye bikes from 99' to 10' nothing.

ok so what is the 640 adventure based on, i figured a rallye would be way more of everything, so was it just the concept and nothing else? think i kinda just hoped my bike was a severely detuned version with an enduro based motor, well its not a big deal as everyone here still stares at it like i am an alien, my friend on his 1200 gsa cant stop laughing when we ride since cars forget to start moving at green lights in intersections.

Is LC4 Rallye racing version of LC4 Adventure, or LC4 Adventure street version of LC4 Rallye...

Similar bikes, made from more or less same or similar parts, but afterall totally different animals, like most pure "street" and pure race machines are.

Whole LC4 family of bikes is somehow mixed, some parts are used across whole model range, some models change on different years than other, some model changes different time on usa and europe etc.

Anyway, very potent and fun compromise bikes with some strong racing pedigree

Not everyone likes these sort of bikes,i have enjoyed this pair for a while now (sold 00 660 ),just got the rr 690 now, both are awesome bikes!

Earlier versions of the rally were quite similar to the adventure. However, rally bikes were developed each year forward and only few modifications were implemented into the adventure. In the end they were similar only in the concept.

There is also a difference between factory rally bikes and customer rally replicas. They were about 95% similar to each other.
