This.  My KTM 450 is ridiculous.  I've never done so many wheelies.

250lbs dry, 40ish hp, and good on gas at the same time :D

It makes you do bad things.  Probably shouldn't buy one.

;D

Looks good... but motard it is not. Give me one and I'd hope to ride the balls off it... but I ain't trying to cross a log or ford a creek on it.

well it is a Hypermotard rival (Rivale is the name) and now we see why the HYM848 was so important.

Motards are way too much fun and make a great 2nd or 3rd bike but not a daily rider or long distance machine.  I've got an 08 Ape SXV 5.5 75hp 280 lbs. Only downside is it's basically a race bike with lights so it's needy maintenance wise.  Begs you to ride like a complete ass on the streets and is crazy fun on the track.
