Deffo supermoto is the way to go :wink:

As i said b4, KTM 625/640 etc. well nice or if your looking at something inbetween that and a drz then something like a Yamaha Wr450 on sm wheels? sumin like that, insurance is much cheaper, my crm is 100 quid fully comp! :shock:

would recommend the KTM over the DRZ ( even though i have suzuki written through me like a piece of dawlish rock :wink: ) punchier engine and better components as standard. Don't know how they compare on insurance though, would imagine the Suzook would be cheaper, smaller engine and less shiney parts!
Cut me in half and I'v got Suzuki written right through me!
