sold my supermoto and only time i regret it is in winter, they are fun for 70 miles of wet road sliding and have to be cheap to fix when you bin them hence the plastic tanks/cheap moto x parts prices on ktm 640's etc bet that baby aint light, and parts wont be cheap.need to be light as well and the v twin lump ain't.


its just a modern big naked road bike cloning the fashionable super moto look, hardly groundbreaking although it does look nice
Agreed!
Nice concept tho,...dunno where the fuel will go,...tank looks too small,no room under the seat,....fairing side panels?
Nah,gimme a KTM LC640 any day.

Sorry guys but i don't agree, its not competeing with the 640LC, and supermoto's of that ilk; its a different kettle of fish, but Mike is right its a big naked road bike. Given the choice i'd rather have a big road bike of this ilk and a proper full on dirt bike for blasting thru the muck proper, only my opinion.
