KTM 640 LC4 track bike

KTM 640 LC4 track bikeWhen asked what they want in a motorcycle, some might say narrow, lightweight, great handling single cylinder with plenty of power. That was Kim Kronslev’s idea. He looked around, didn’t find what he wanted so he designed it and built one, based around the KTM 640 LC4. Although Kim began with the intention of making a road legal bike, his direction changed during the course of the project and what you see is a track only special.

There’s not yet much detail from Kim as far as specs go but he started by making CAD drawings of what he had in mind and finished with a track bike. It looks very minimal and super light.

Kim used the tried and true formula: idea + skill + work = real bike. Some really nice motorcycles get their start this way. Once you have something to work with, you can refine it until it’s exactly what you want. I like it.

Thanks for the tip, Bob!

Tegurlah jika hamba ada membuat kesalahan, baik dengan sengaja atau tidak. Kerana hamba insan biasa yg tak sunyi dari kesilapan.

"Sesungguhnya yang paling ditakutkan daripada apa yang aku takutkan menimpa kalian adalah asy syirkul ashghar (syirik kecil). Sahabat bertanya: "Apakah dimaksudkan syirik kecil itu? Baginda menjawab: Riak." (Hadis riwayat Imam Ahmad).
Wallahualam.
