The 1997 MY ATK 605 has, at its heart, an air-cooled, four-stroke, 598cc, Rotax single cylinder powerhouse paired to a five-speed manual transmission. Standard features for this machine include a race-inspired livery, an analogue instrument cluster, a single seat, a high-mounted exhaust, a Brembo braking system with front and rear disc brakes, and a suspension package composed of a rear monoshock and a front 40mm WP upside-down fork.
