done the "scrambling" (what it was called in my day) and a year of trials riding, so it's not as if I'll be longing to take the thing over a field or something, just a fun way of getting a light bike without having to get something a bit plain like a CB500/ER5/GS500 or alike.

I also have loved the CCMs. They are not so popular over here but its something different about them that I like. Yes they are British from Bolton way, I know I have the KTM but if I found a CCM for sensible money Id get it and leave it at 'ar kids' for when im over in the car. Then Id have a bike to use when Im in the UK. If I fly across no wheels at all. If I drive across no bike. If I bike across no duty frees!
I too notice a huge difference stepping from a road bike to a supermoto. riding position, weight, handling and power. All i can say is different tools for different jobs. But if you dont need motorways or dual carriageways then a SM is the way ahead. If you are half sensible it may even be a license saver.

I used to lust after a Vivid Green R30 a couple of years ago , I wouldn`t say no to a CCM and very nearly became an owner before I got the SV
