Try www.supermotech.co.uk
But remember if your coming from a sportbike background they are still pretty slow,buzzy and generally have a smaller tank range.
On local rides around here the motards are always last to the pub !!
- still alot of fun though and would be ideal as a second bike if you could afford two !!

Yeah,there`s a lot of crap spouted in the press here about how they`ll see off R1`s in the twisties e.t.c.,which would be great except most roads here are straight,flat and boring.There are guys who`ve chopped their Sportsbikes in for SM`s then complain they`re slow,at the end of the day the CCM`s got a DR650 motor so what the hell do they expect.Depends what you want,to me riding is about a lot more than sheer speed,I ran an XT600 which I loved,instead of taking the direct fast route I`d take the scenic way across the country roads,took longer but if you enjoy riding does that matter?Another reason for SM`s popularity here is that they`re demon city bikes,your 160 bhp aint a lot of good in nose to tail traffic.Here lane-splitting,or "filtering" as we call it,is legal and if you see a gap you go for it,not a lot better than an SM for point and squirt riding of that kind.Big singles are pretty addictive as well,thought long and hard about chopping the XT in for the Fazer but the test ride swung it,would have kept both if I could afford it.

After checking out the site (http://www.kms-racing.ch/motos/sonde...upermoto.shtml) , and making use of my limited german, I gathered that it is a supermoto'd KTM Adventure 950. That should mean that with the standard engine it'll punt out 98bhp!

Now that's more like it! Although, you'd expect them to shave off some of the 195kg dry weight..

Saw this one down in Dannevirke the other day - nice !!
- 660 SMX

Almost the best racing of the day at Paeroa was the SM boys, big hand to the bloke riding with one good arm, anyone know who he is, he a star ! Top entertainment for the punters, ace to watch these boys backing it in, who needs superbikes !

Which is why I want one of these.
The ones I've ridden feel like a SM, only with a lot more squirt!
