The importer has asked for some feedback on whether there is a market for this bike in NZ.

Bloody awesome, Ill have to read that stuff though :-p

Has anyone else been following the supermoto world champs?

**Waylander** · 12th May 2005, 19:43

Looks ok other than the exhaust. That bit looks a bit odd. Never riden off-road bikes or motards so I have nothing to campare other than looks.

Found this site though since I can't veiw pdf files.

looks good and if it is quality there is a fair few on this site jumping off the sprot bike ship and looking for something a bit like that. Maybe Coldkiwi could be there official test rider.

Should get a twin exhaust system like the S1 supermoto Husabergs

Couldn't get a pic of the twin exhausts Husaberg, but this is awesome

Another cool Husaberg pic :-p

And it turns out to be a dud

**NordieBoy** · 12th May 2005, 20:04

Twin pipe Berg...

**betti** · 12th May 2005, 20:16

it has all the bits a quality moto needs, get it over here!!!

**Motu** · 12th May 2005, 20:24

Oh yes,I'd be VERY interested in that - but would your importers be interested in my $100 cash offer plus almost running TF100 deal? I've lusted after a Husky since I rode a TE510 in the early 90s....a flattracker with 18in front and rear with comp trials tyres and running on alky...kinda a motard I guess.

When is the XT660 motard coming out? Did NZ buy all the worlds stock of XT600Es? they must need to run them out before we see it.

The dual sport XT660 is in the country, I had a squiz at one at a Yamaha dealer in Hamiltopia. I think they imported it themselves, rather than through Yamaha NZ.
Personally I'm not convinced, as they've lost the fold up gear/brake levers, and there's too much plastic for a trail bike.

The 'tard version would probably be a looker though.. Don't tell us you're going to give up a life of knobbly tires for a 'tard Motu?

**Ixion** · 12th May 2005, 21:10

Tis nice and the spec looks good. Would I buy it - maybe . Probably yes if I had decided on a 'tard

**Coldkiwi** · 13th May 2005, 08:49

oh yes.. I would buy that in a heartbeat if the price was right!! beeeuartiful! got all the right bits for the road too (given that i've learnt my lesson about track days on your commuter!) but still has the mojo where it counts.

(scuse me while I wipe my drool off the keyboard)

All depends on the seat! Currently running around on a KTM 525, a piece of 4x2 would be more comfortable to sit on than the standard seat.

Pictures are all very well, but the only way to find out is to bring one in and give it to us
