I have the XT660X. It's the sensible option, but the propper supermoto guys will probably tell you it's boring (less powerful and heavier I think). It's my every day transport for comuting, so 6000mile service intervals and "luxuries" like a start button, an ignition key, indicators and mirrors are quite good for an daily runner.
I guess it depends how much you enjoy spending time in the garage compared to riding

if i need a bike for every day it would be the xt660 btw i love working most weekends on my 660smc & it did have mirrors , indicators & a front light but i took them all off to make it faster the question you need to ask youself is......... do you feel you are a super retard at heart

640lc4,

625smc lc4,

660smc lc4,

duke2 640lc4,

drz400sm,

honda xr650,

ccm r30,

ccm 644,

husqavana 510smr,

husaberg 650,

not sure its a moto till driesie lets us know what it is the xt660x

most of these bikes you can pick up for under £3000

pm me if you have any questions m8

Thanks for all the advice dudes...   will have to get out and have a blast on a few...     The supermoto angle seems the best fun route....

(seen a few decent TL's on biketrader tho...      aaaarghh!!)

Hard finding just a pure toy....    No arse in the air sports bikes tho!!!!

 

I'm saving for a Ducati Sport 1000 Biposto

Ok.. My bike is up for sale/swap on LB..

I also put it on Fleabay for £2795 Buy it Now...  (can but hope)

Anyway..   Its going to be replaced with a crosser!!!!!!

either a KTM(if I can find a decent one) or even the Suzuki DRz.. etc..

If anyone can pursuade me otherwise ... GO AHEAD..  (I saw that Ducati 748s on ebay for £2795..   aaaargh!!)

either that or get yourself an original superbike (the bench mark for modern sportsbikes)
cbr 900rr 97

a mate of a mate has a 96 model with slight fairing damage probably take between £1200-£1400

ideal fun bike dont matter what happens to it and more than powerful enough

I vote for the supermoto but don't forget the MZ SM. Y
