Anyone on here got one?
Really considering this to run in the summer as a hooligan tool and then whack some more off road tyres on it for winter and fuck about down dirt tracks / light green lanes, nothing too heavy.. won't be entering any dakar rallies or anything but fed up of not riding in Winter because I don't want to take a 200bhp superbike out.
Nice looking things too...

Do it.
Changing from supermoto wheels to enduro ones when the weather is shitty and you want to go play offroad is no big deal so get yourself a hooligans bike as a new toy.
It will magnetically attract low life thieving scum so don't let your guard down.
Do it, do it, DO IT!! |

I don't commute on bikes so they would never be left anywhere out of my eye sight, that's the number one rule I've always stuck by after I had my first road bike (scooter) nicked but later recovered it.
It just looks so much cooler with SM wheels but the question is... can I touch the floor on it |

It's supposed to be pretty good from what I've read. Certainly got the power and reliability side of the triangle, and 145kg for a purely road bike is still feathers compared to anything else of similar capacity, or a street/naked/sports bike.
As G said I've heard that it's not as savage or doesn't quite have the last bit of top end power of the smaller cc lighter competition orientated bikes, but should still be a fucking riot on B-roads and lanes.
Im not into modern bikes, but it's one of the few newish machines that I reckon would be more fun/capable than I need for the sort of riding I do now. Weight is more important than power for fun, and it's 70odd bhp is more than I'd use on today's roads. I'd genuinely like to test ride one, my only slight dislike is the styling and that funky plastic seat/tank unit that I'm not sure about. I do like my trail and supermoto bikes to be a bit more old skool in looks, with a proper tank and the seat that slopes up the back of the tank (late 80's MX) style. Modern Enduro and SM bikes have flatter narrow seats, where you sit more on top of the bike and less in it if that makes sense? I'm sure theres a good reason for modern seat and ergonomic layouts though.
Oh and a TDR 250 is overpriced now, and wouldn't have any hope of seeing which way the 701 went. I get Mpd's (only interested in old two strokes) but the new bikes are much more capable, and anyone considering a 701 won't be the same guy that owns or wants a TDR. |
