Not sure about price, but it's a tad heavy and uses a rather underpowered engine.

May look pretty, but it's following the DR-Z400Sm route, which is still more 'commutermoto' than supermoto.

true but its 3 x the power of a CG and slightly lighter, for general short distance town riding/commuting it must be a right laugh!
be nice to have a test ride i reckon.

I'd rather have the trailie version - it looked really nice at the NEC and perfect for winter commuting and gentle trailriding Very Happy

That's only just over two and a half time's the CG's power and over 12% heavier Razz.

The DR-Z seems a better buy to me with a little extra power and weight, but should have a load more midrange making it a bit nicer around town etc.
Of course, I'd recommend the CCM404 which is lighter and uses the more powerful E version of the DR-Z engine. Probably a similar price.

For greenlaning and other muddy stuff, the low power and revvy engine may well make more sense.
