    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
