Nice looking ride but I've often wondered about bikes like this one (and the Buell Ulyses and the Triumph Tiger I think its the tiger) just what are they or what they want to be when they grow up. The motocross looking front fender set up. Taller suspension. Road tires and a large displacement motor. Is it an off roader? Is it a street bike? Is it a tourer. An all arounder? There are two guys at work that have the Buell and the Triumph. One thing that they have both mentioned is that the front fender set up works like $h!t on the road. Kicks everything up and your bike is always a mess. If you take these things off road then you will be at a disadvantage with the tires and weight. Still its a nice looking ride and if its something that you like then I say go for it.

everyone needs an SMR !!!!!
when you do it right it's the most fun you can have on two wheels. The trouble is they wheelie so easy and go so fast that there are going to be a lot of guys get in trouble on them.
There is nothing like getting blasted past on a straight (uh......at the local track) by that R1 only catch him sliding past him on the outside of the corner cranked over dragging a boot lightly and poping on the throttle seconds earlier than him leaving him to his late apex dreams having made the trun and exting already. Sure they can catch you back up on the next straight but aside from drag racers any fool can go fast on the bike in a straight line.
a must have for any stable and as soon as I can I will make my SMR streetable.

Whats an SMR? I'm thinking that I'd rather have SEX instead of SMR but without knowing what SMR is I'm not sure. I'm going home now for some SEX.

My brother-in-law has a Super Duke. He and it outgun me on my Speed Triple. The SD is flipping fast and handles like you wouldn't believe. The Supermoto R would just add more humiliation.
