New Bike Ideas ????

[Yorick]

I love the GSXR and not selling it and also love the GasGas. But want summat in between, Last week we had to do a few miles on tarmac on the GasGas and it was quite fun. I thought about buying some SM wheels but it all gets a bit complicated.

So I need ideas. Summat to nip down the shops on or for an hour up in the hills on the twisties.

I quite like the GasGas SM700 but never ridden a proper SuperMoto. I hate the KTM 690 style thingies

I'm looking for other ideas...

I like the idea of a custom flat tracker but all bikes here need to be 100% standard.

No transformers
Less than 170 Kgs
About 10k
Fun


Fire away...

Fuck me,an hour past and KFB hasn't mentioned a Panigale.

Musn't be enough pink in this thread to trigger a reaction.

[KungFooBob]

Panigale?

How many 'gee gees' equates to one Yozza unit of 'fun'?

MT07, replace rear shock wheelie to hearts content

Nothing other than your post actually exists. I'll give @Couchy the mt07 but you'd hate it
That said, you'll hate that GasGas too imo.

There's stuff like the CB300R, that are less then 150kg, but I suspect they don't trigger Yozza's 'fun' requirement.

Maybe a husqvarna 701 Vitpilen or Svartpilen

I think they trigger the Transformer clause.

Get a test on a GasGas SM700 and see where you go from there.

Tuono 660?

In between a dirt bike and a sportsbike. Not a transformer.

Looks like fun,most definitely.



100bhp 67nm torque

180kgs wet

Hideous looking.

I'm gonna fly over to Gran Canaria to try one at shop I bought the EC300 from

I've got the GSXR for that itch.

You need something with the KTM 690 motor that isn't a Duke or a KTM. So the GasGas 700SM sounds spot on.

Nah. Lacking summat.

Spare set of wheels for your Gas Gas with road tyres like trailwings could be an option, but 2 stroke enduro bikes used to be horrible on tarmac, modern ones are probably better, otherwise one of the 700ish 4 strokes, ie; Z650, SV650, MT07, XSR700, KTM690, maybe the new Suzuki 800?

[Couchy]

You’ll hate the 690, what about the Suzuki gsxs1000 ?

Thanks, but none grabbing my attention.
