ATK motorcycles like the ATK 605 four-stroke, and fuel injected ATK 450
are beautiful machines that could double as art exibits. These American
nostalgia machines have been born in a refining fire of dreams, difficulty,
and perseverance.
ATK product innovation has produced a list of firsts in the motorcycle
world. These innovations include: the anti-tension kutentraub (ATK's namesake),
side mounted shocks, linkless suspension, fuel-injected offroad motorcycles,
and the first production motard.
The older 4-stroke Rotax based ATKs were known for air cooled reliability,
durability, exotic machined parts, and unusual designs. In the early years
of production they were one of the finer 4-strokes that could be purchased.
As time and new technology enhanced the ability of competing motorcycles
these machines still remained competitive in selective racing arenas.
Dirt trackers liked this motor, and a wealth of knowledge, parts, and services
are available to enhance the performance of these machines.
In 2003 ATK purchased the remaining inventory of Cannondale Motorsports. This purchase
added fuel injected ATV's to the ATK product line, as well as a new line of ATK 450
motorcycles.
