About as much fun as you can have with your pants on.
I had a first year KTM Duke that didn’t have anywhere near that much power but was still the most fun bike I ever had. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: No. Other than its light weight it's too much for a first bike. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Would this be a good choice for a first bike? New rider, never been on a motorcycle. No. Other than its light weight it's too much for a first bike. But it is named “motard”, so it is obviously a learners bike. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I had the same bike. 2009 SM450R. I wish I never sold that bike, it was so much fun. If you live near a track or in a state that plates dirtbikes, the SMR450 strikes me as the most fun possible on 2 wheels. |

On the road, by far the most difficult bike to behave on that I've ever owned. You just want to do hooligan shit on them. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Mine was street legal from the factory. I had it plated in CA for a while. And I used to ride it on the kart track at Infineon raceway out there. Loads of fun. On the road, by far the most difficult bike to behave on that I've ever owned. You just want to do hooligan shit on them. I didn't realize they were ever sold with plates. Awesome sled. |

This thread is making me miss my last dirt bike. At 60 years old I'm done riding all bikes. My body can't do it anymore, sucks.

One lady who rode Baja with a Husqvarna group had the handle of Husky Chick (or maybe WoodsChick) and rode a 610 SM with fat tires front and rear. It was low and allowed her to put her feet down. She struggled but made it. It ripped pretty good on pavement.

I am really drawn to the looks and capabilities of supermotos. The Ducati looks great.

Quote HistoryQuoted: On the road, by far the most difficult bike to behave on that I've ever owned. You just want to do hooligan shit on them. Truth. I’ve got a garage full of bikes, very fast bikes but the sumo is the bike that’s puts the biggest smile on my face the fastest. Wheelie down the driveway, stoppie at the road. Wheelie thru the gears down the road, another stoppie. Catch a guy on a sport bike on a tight and twisty road, hassle him relentlessly. Ride up a flight of stairs, jump off of a loading dock, drop it from sixth into second and back it into the turn for my neighborhood. A total blast. |
