Anyone have any experience with these? Been looking out for a Duke 690 but the Supermoto seems to be a bit cheaper. If anyone has ridden one how long are your legs and could you reach the ground? Smile

Looks like someone took a Husky Nuda and thought, "you know what, let's completely fuck it up and still a duck bill on the front."

This one should be available cheap: https://dai.ly/x3tz1ur Very Happy They seem to be a bit expensive (like the Duke), I guess the Supermoto's looks make it less desirable. I don't mind its appearance TBH, exhausts are a bit weird.

What he said - lighter and more 'supermoto'.

The SM was released a year before the others,.

Do seem to be some good deals around - been tempted to get one for an engine for my enduro and break the rest.

The SMC is awesome but it's way more expensive.

I bought one new when they first came out and loved every minute I had with it. I even comunited on the motorway for a few months which was an experience but much prefered it around town. Only sold it after around 3 attempted thefts. After seeing it being dragged down the road with chain and bollard attached I knew it was only a matter of time.

Only issues I had in my time of owning it were the speedo got a bit of condensation inside it which was a common fault and on hot summer days the heat off the pipes go a bit too warm when sat at the light.

Really? I can't stand mine around town, the twitchy throttle does my tits in, think I'd rather walk some times. On the twisties though, it's lovely and you forget about the fueling issues, works perfectly when you show it who's boss Twisted Evil
