Hi all, I'm currently in the market for a supermoto. I have never rode a supermoto before but I have always wanted to give it a shot. My friends tell me I'm missing out in life haha. I ride redwood road fairly often on my cbr. But due to a recent accident, my bike is totaled and even though my girlfriend dislikes the fact that I'm buying another motorcycle. She's cool enough to allow it.
I'm currently at a 5-7k budget and constantly browsing through craigslist. I have stumbled upon huskys, ktms, aprilia and suzuki. I'm not too worried about the service intervals as I can learn to do it myself.
I work with honda finance, and the good thing is I can get honda products for cost. But, I don't know anything about their dirt bikes and the last time I visited the dealership the salesman told me it wasn't street legal. To me, nothing on the 2015 honda lineup wows me (maybe the cbr1k sp, but that's out of my budget and I dislike idea of financing even though I have good credit).
Here is my purpose for the supermoto:
-I ride redwood road fairly often 3-4 times a week.
-Something that can last a while with proper maintenance
-Might commute to work every friday which is from castro valley to san ramon (15 minutes drive).
-occasional errands locally.
-something to have fun on and not kill my back (with the riding position) :ride
any suggestions on a supermoto? thanks ahead of time :teeth
