View Full Version : Best Supermoto to replace my Gixxer 750?
Been following krhall's search for a bike on here pretty closly and it has got me thinking of swapping up my Gixxer 750 for one, i originally got into bikes because i always wanted one but got distracted by sportsbikes.
Only thought is im so used to and love the pace/madness of my 750 that im not sure if a supermoto will cut it. Plus i do the odd long day on the 750 and i doubt this is something many of the smaller SM will be able to do.
I would love a 990 but i just dont have the money as they are all 4-5k plus.
I love the look of the SXV550 and also the Husqvarna 610 but i hear that maintenance and reliability can be an issue.
I want a bike that is a bit mad to ride.
I guess wind can become a bit of an issue but speeds will generally be lower so i guess that balances it out a bit.
Any recommendations?
Cheers
Mej, my quick rides on the KTM 625 SMC's proved they would be lively and interesting to ride...

have you ever riden a naked bike ? the wind only becomes a real problem over 120(Kph ;) ) .....
i sat bolt up right doing 100(kph ;) ) for 200+ miles with no problem

Krhall, what did you think in comparison to your 600rr as there isnt alot in it with the 750.
never ridden a fast naked barwell, only 125s and a 250.
i have seen a few nice ones.

Street triple is not really what I'm after, I love my Gixxer so only a good sm will make me sell it. I'm not doubting that the street triples are mad but I just don't think it would be the same as an SM.

Ya right they are completely different bikes. I wouldnt own both a street and a SM if they were even remotedly similar.
if i could i would keep mt 750 and just buy and SM as well, but i just aint got the cash for that, best of both worlds that way. :)

KTM 560SMR - Don't accept lesser models...
SXV550 is about the only thing as quick/mental but it ****s the bed and explodes more often than you start it
990 is a totally different kettle of fish compared to a proper lightweight single cylinder SM, just as awesome in it's own right but totally different
Husky and Husabangs tend to explode more than others, except the Aprilias
Honda for reliable performance but won't twist your panties like a full fat SM
DRZ is slow but utterly dependable
If you want to die immediately and not have to wait a few days a 2-Stroke would do the job
Enjoy, but make sure you definitely want one, they make sportbikes look comfortable and practical...
Krhall, what did you think in comparison to your 600rr as there isnt alot in it with the 750.
The RR was wasted on me to be honest, apart from a few track days I only ever used it for my commute in all weathers, so a supermoto (hopefully) makes a bit more sense.
There are very few things that are going to improve on the speed and acceleration of the RR, but the KTM felt as if it could be mental.
It ran out of puff in first very quickly, then I put it into second and the front started coming up!!! Had a 'Not for road use' can on it and was popping under engine breaking and spitting fire!!!
Very high seat height for me, which would take some getting used to, but I am going to try, happy to give you some feedback.
My journey will be mainly under 50mph so I doubt i'll miss the RR much...at least I hope not.
I would have amps honda in a heartbeat, but it is a bit rich for me (good value though) I am looking at higher mileage bikes.
The CRF is apparently the one to have if you can afford it. Especially with the trails wheels etc. I would love a go at that but don't have the money for a second bike, so Amps bike is two in one...

Do what im doing....dr350 ( there are many big bore kits 440ect.) parts are cheap and you can pick up a pair of already laced excel rims with tyres for about £300 all in all costing you no more than £2k and still good on the service intervals.

see i could easily keep a bike as a weekend/evening/town toy as opposed to using it for work so its not a major issue if it is not capable of 170mph :p
im just used to the power on my gixxer now, but im starting to get a bit bored, bored of the same roads and tbh there is only so fast i can go all the time.
Nowadays unless im using it for work i only get out for a hours a week (10 max), so short and sweet may be the answer.

I've owned SV, DRZ and the loopy KTM at the same time, at 70 on a DRZ it's chin on the clocks time if you want to get anywhere near the (indicated) ton, but you'll need a long runway
Still a fun bike to ride most (probably more) of the time but even with the airbox mods and straight pipe, 40bhp and 150kg is never going to be rippling the tarmac...
Much better to take the SVs down some mucky country lanes and leave them in the hedgerows...;)
Edit to add, my KTM was a measured 116kg with all the road electrics and full tank - dry weight of the DRZ was something like 137kg - the KTM was kicking out around 70bhp too - the math favours the orange one...

To be fair the DRZ is light compared to a sportsbike, in terms of wet weight a GSXR will be pushing 200kg+, a DRZ more like 150kg+, a light motard 125kg and a race ready one 105-110kg

One of the KTM's I rode had a Dyno showing 64bhp at the back wheel and was showing signs of being mental.
The standard DRZ-SM I drove a couple of years back didn't feel that snappy, at the time I remember saying that I really liked it, just not sure it could be my only bike and as I couldn't afford two the choice was made for me. They do look nice though and you can pick up a virtually new one for £2500.

Nice looking bikes though.
As for getting a test ride on one, both the ones I rode said "have you got the full asking price on you as insurance", which I didn't. Left them my car keys instead, my car is clearly worth less than a brake pad on the KTM.
If you don't ask you don't get...
625's seem to be quite rare though.

The standard CV carb is a bit weedy, the FCR carb on the KTM is not only 5mm wider but also has the pump system - you can retrofit an FCR (from the DRZ-E) to the DRZ for larger power gains but it's pretty much just as cost effective to buy a faster moto instead. The 3x3 airbox mod, rejet and race pipe makes a big difference to the pick up though...

Nice headlight unit on that CRF!
Also, im pretty sure the DRZ-E, is lighter (119kg dry i finks) due to plastic tank and few other bits (the SM version has a metal tank). This, coupled with the better carb setup + a few mods make it good fun with a set of SM wheels. The standard DRZ-SM tho i felt was a lil disapointing. Not a hooner but more a commuter.

More refined than the 625/640/660 era bikes, but then so was a cement mixer with a pneumatic road drill strapped to it, and more reliable, FI and electronic emissions trickery means they're not as "hands on" tinkering with carbs etc and more like modern road bikes in terms of needing dealer servicing
SM for road
SMC for extreme road and track
Enduro for off-road

A bit newer than 625's etc but still typical KTM pr0n
The 690 SM's with the beak are pretty cheap too. You wouldnt expect to have to pamper and rebuild a 690cc motor but sadly (and typically of KTM) you do.
KTM's do go forever tho, you just gotta give em lurrrvvve.

I've got a DRZ, and while it's fun in its own right it def isn't a replacement for a sportsbike - low on power, but also the suspension and brakes do not cut the mustard, and it carries a fair amount of weight. I have it cos it's cheap, fun, easy to work on and can do a bit of off road, but I wouldn't replace my Gixxer with it.
Have ridden the 510 husky and although it looks fabulously gorgeous, weighs next to nothing, and is very 'on it' to ride, it isn't really an everyday bike, and seems to need more attention than say the KTMs. Noone I know with a similar Husky has done more than a few thousand miles on theirs, or has it as their only bike.
A KTM 690 sounds like a good bet - you get great suspension and braking mixed with real world everyday functionality. Plus I've seen some nicely tricked up ones and they look awesome :cool:
Also, the service from KTM and their dealers tends to be very good - my OH had a leak develop in the fuel tank from his 3 yr old SuperDuke, and they replaced the whole tank without quibble, free of charge. Compare that to the hoops that I've had to jump through with warranty claims on my Gixxer...

Cheers fizzyfish. I like the 690 alot, as much as I like the smcit will prob be the sm I would get. They are pricy though, you can almost pick up 950 for that price but I guess it's a completely different bike.
The fact that it is a single is pretty attractive, wonder what reliability is like?
I'm gonna try get a test ride up at sideways near me.
I now have a supermoto and can confrim that a windy/heavy rain ride of 170 miles, is not what they were made for...won't be sitting down for a week!

Good vid of the drz, but his and his mates riding isnt exactly worthy of posting imo :(
Solid double lines have the same meaning in the states as well as here,
Things I have learned so far:
Need to live/work close to a petrol station and go past a few as the tank is pretty small, still I did get 100 miles before the light came on.
Seems a lot wider than the CBR so filtering is a learning process again.
Super high riding position, definitely a plus point.
Nothing you bought for your sports bike will work with it, cover, stand, lock etc. so whatever the bike costs you factor in replacements for all that.
My commute is mental now!

How come stand dont work?
Cover should work on most of it unless you had a small cover before ;)

That's well nice Mej. Something I considered too.
Mej, let me know what you think of it. Its on my list....
Numbers, what do you think of the Tuono? Is it just an RSV with high bars or do the high bars turn the Tuono into something else which the RSV doesnt do?
My list currently comprises of:
Triumph Street Triple
Triumph Daytona 675
Suzuki GSXR 750
KTM 950SM
Aprilia Tuono
Thought about the Hypermotard 796 but a few user reviews have put me off, plus the tank range is tiny. Same goes for KTM 690. The Shiver was a decent test ride until I rode the Street Triple R. Blows it into the weeds.
Need something to replace the big fun of the Versys, which is a tall order considering the surprising amount of fun the Versys offers, and at such a budget. I've had 6k out of a set of tyres and the front still has a few Ks left.
Mr Speirs
15-09-10, 08:02 PM
I would advise a test ride on a hyper 796. It's brilliant fun. Don't write it off for a few bad reviews as there are lots of good reviews too. It's free to give one a go. While youre there get a test ride on an 1100 hyper too! More of a comparison to the KTM SM than the 796
The thing that worries me about bigger capacity bikes is cost to run. Obviously thirstier, but big twins will eat tyres. I dont want to have to replace my tyres twice in a year (About 5k a year), I prefer riding some of the bumpier dales roads too, which is why I'm wondering why I'm hankering after a sportsbike.

My 1050 sprint doesnt really use much more than my sv did tbh, if i ride reasonably brisk, its hardly different.
I can sqeeze on average around 160 miles to a tank(200 if rode economically), which takes about £3 more of fuel than the sv

no worries ill update this thread when after my ride home see what i think, supposed to be raining though.
On the ur list but this is my personal opinion.
Triumph Street Triple (would like to ride but not really my thing, would like to have a blast on the speed tripple)
Triumph Daytona 675 (Have ridden, sounds nice, way too small for me though, track tool)
Suzuki GSXR 750 (Own and love, epic bike on so many levels)
KTM 950SM (Always wanted one now is the time)
Aprilia Tuono (Only noticed these recently, hear they supposed to be pretty special)
They way i see it, the KTM was a bargain so if i dont like it i will at least make my money bk. But i doubt that is gonna happen :smt096:smt096
got the bike, everything checked out, got the FSH, all the registration details, all the details of the previous owners etc. Have also got the oringial plastics and seat, there was no crash damage visible at all and he was more than happy for me to take it for a test ride, didnt even ask for the cash as deposit. So i rode it about for half hour and was massivly impressed. Guy was a nice bloke, had negelected the bike a bit, so needs a bit of TLC as i think it was laid up for a bit. this is his house, which was bloody nice: Iscoyd Park (http://www.iscoydpark.com/), He said that he just doesnt get the time to use it anymore due to the wedding business.
Rode it 220 miles home about 140 of that was motorway (which was ****e), and about 60 on dark country roads it is very different from the Gixxer. Took me a while to get used to the position, its definetly not built for the motorway or at least my neck aint, aching a bit now.
Was awesome on the A roads though, so much pulling power and nice to back on a twin, Ackros sound awesome. Have to have a few good rides this week let you know. But all in all, bit of a result and worth the 440 mile trip.

Get the front brake callipers serviced, neglected examples have been known to corrode to the point of seizure, although this was in exceptional circumstances:o
