Haven't ridden one, however not sure they would be considered too 'proper'.

With 50% more weight than a mx conversion, you're talking not too far off the weight of a sports 600 with a lot less power.
Plenty of people still seem to enjoy that sort of bike however - possibly because it gives the impression that it can be pushed more than a sports bike.

So could you give me any advice on a moto that IS classed as "proper" and what id be looking at running it. I have heard from others on the forum that motos are unreliable and need to be handled with care in the service department?

It might be best to clarify exactly which KTM you're considering as LC4 is actually the engine's designation, not the 'bike (although the 640 is officially the 940 LC4 Supermoto...).

There are 4 KTM Supermotos that use the LC4 engine: 625, 640, 660 & 690.

I would have a look at KTM's web site (www.ktm.co.uk) but I can't access it on this computer as it won't let you in without Flash being installed .
