I'd have one.
But I've never ridden one, yet, so no idea about performance.

I think they look great.
I like the trailie riding position best.

They are quite heavy for a supermoto, but should be ok for daily use.

Tank range I'd expect to be fairly short and keeping up on rideouts - they won't do silly speeds and the rest is down to the rider generally.

The first few times you swap between bikes it feels really weird. For instance a mate let me have a go on his bandit 1200 when I had been riding a klr650 for a while - the bandit felt tiny at a stand still compared to the tall klr. Later, swapping between the KLR a sports 600 and sports 125 still felt a bit weird.

So, basically don't rule out sports bikes because it feels strange.

Make sure you don't have any loose fillings before you ride one.

Had a KTM Duke 2 on a W plate, did about 6k miles on it. Absolutely superb, great suspension, quite economical, range about 100 miles. Felt like quality, sort of special.
Went like stink for a single, handled really well and loads of aftermarket kit available.

Top speed is around 115-120 mph. Great tool for twisty roads and wheelies. Not up to mixing it on big roads with big 4 cylinder bikes.

The only downside I can think of was that the seat wasn't the most comfortable. Also keep on top of the maintenance especially oil changes.

Hope this is of use

Is that looks that will make you wish you're dead if you're seen riding it?

Anyway, if we're talking a bit sillier, Husaberg 650 with 750cc bore kit .
