The Honda is not really a Supermoto. It's like a SM but not a real one. It's like saying a rav4 is an off roader.

The WR426 is just a converted Enduro bike. Lots of engine care and servicing required.

If you want a real supermoto animal nothing compares to a Husaberg FS650.

If you want a Supermoto wannabe with less servicing and TLC require ten look for a decent KTM LC4.

if im completely honest I want something that's not high high maintenance don't care about things I can change my self etc  it has to be loud and reliable ish did have a go on a drz400 but it didn't have anymore go than my ninja 250

I have been looking for a ktm lc4   my other half recently got rid of her ktm had nothing but problems with it though I like the older style lc4 but they are few and far between unless I wanna do 110 miles to view the thing

I would love an sxv550 but cant warrant the cost atm sadly..

What about a 690smc? Think my mate is selling his 2008 one

that's the one my missus got rid of would have to know how much where it is etc and most importantly what colour

I would keep away from motos then. Deffo stay away from an SXV. I owned one for 2 years, the running and maintenance cost was horrendous.

They do look sweet. Mine just before I sold it

The 690smc seems a good buy.

I know how often the maintenance is for the sxv but there such mental bikes and oooo the sound!

if a 690 comes along for the right money ill probably do it do prefer the older ones though

it's orange and in Hersham, surrey.  I'll ask how much he wants for it

[Normski]

Xr650. Old but cheap and bullet proof. Sound awesome and wheelie through the box.

My heart tells me to buy another sxv, but my head says no. 

Most of the guys I ride with have 690 smc. They seem to be OK.

Last Saturdays rideout

im going to have to get one my backs not what  it was and I need something upright but fun looks like you had a blast very jealous

I have KTM LC4 640 Enduro that I'm tempted supermoto up after a trip to Pyrenees, apart from muppet dealer in Colchester it's not been high maintenance or had any problems, its very much a precision peice of engendering & you need to treat it that way, to be on safe side stick to KTM parts (long story) I rode mine 300+ to Wales did Taffy Dakar & rode her all the way back, no issues whatsoever apart from sore arse.

Even if my KTM had issues the fun & pure pleasure I get from riding it is worth every penny

Thanks for all the encorugement guys and girls going to keep my eyes open

That's an SM though, I'd rather get a SMC if I were going down the supermoto root
