You're actually going to buy one! A GG7 and a Hypermotard didn't do it for you, but you're buying one of these! :wtf: That has to be the strangest bike buying decision ever!! :D

For about ten minutes! Should have hired one for a weekend! I don't know anyone that's kept one for any length of time. Hope it works out for you though...

You've gotta have a fiddle with the levers when you first sit on a bike

No lights and don't think it'd road legal. The kTM450 was mentioned earlier.

They're not road legal & I'm sure I remember that they'd not be able to be registered for the road in Spain?

Sports bikes are perfect for me.
Plenty of superb roads here.
And only 30 mins over to Fuertaventura to find the best riding roads I've ever seen in the world.
Then a bit further to Gran Canaria and Tenerife.
I take it you're in Lanzarote...?

Some epic tight and twisty roads there to be fair... Perfect for a Supermoto or a lightweight sporty naked bike! A GSXR1000 there...? Do you manage to get it out of 2nd gear often? :lol:
You don't know this island very well. :crazy:
