      One popped up close to me, I have wanted one for a long time. Thinking about turning it into a supermoto. They have like 46 hp stock but you should be able to get that up a bit right? Does anyone have experience with these machines?

      Cheers

        You won't need to, they will be wheelie monsters with the right gearing 😉

          @Nottsbiker Probably, internet said it only weighed 128kg (dry). That's not so bad is it?

            @Irongamer727 There is no way they are that light. Aprilia RS125 is 130 Dry!

            Impressive if they are though

                  @declan Leaning towards the Xr650 now since most are sold as supermotos. They're not very cheap though.

                    @Irongamer727 yeah but they last forever the 650s watercooled too so that’s an advantage although I prefer air cooled as there’s less to go wrong

                      Don't bother with the air cooled 600, get the 650r water-cooled, road legal Dakar racer

                          @declan don't mind them but big tolerances to allow for the temperature variations kinda suck for tuning, also the water cooled R version is just a different bike all together, proper race machine.

                            @Glynn123 I do really like the water cooled engine for looks it’s one of those timeless designs imo
