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!
