Buying a NEW road legal motard

[blackdog]

Not exactly a motard but very close to it, why not a 690 Duke?

You've forgotten the APrilia 750 dorsoduro and 1200. I've had pretty much every motard under the sun and the 750 dorso is the shit! little bit heavier than husky with a lot more power and torque. and the sound!

Don't know how you can count those as motards? They are hypermotards and not to be confused with the dirt bike derived 'motard'. Completely different characteristics and advantages/disadvantages; No crashability, no dirt/enduro capability, not a thumper.

I'm also interested to know what every motard under the sun means? CRF450, KTM 300exc or RM included in those?

I like the look of this Husqvarna Nuda 900R, something different, its not what you call a motard. but

well when i say every motard, i've had a few :P

Drz400sm, then a ktm 525sx converted for the road, husky 610sm and now the dorso 750. Agreed it's not has nimble etc as 'real' motards but handles almost as good with more power and I guess the point I was trying to make was that if you're into motards and are spending husky 630 type money I'd definately ride a dd 750 for comparison. Only reason I didn't snap up the husky 630 from spectrum was it was too close to the husky I had already owned and I wanted a bit more power.

what about buying a Husaberg FS570 motard?
