Saw something similar to this supermoto style a) pulling wheelies - mint b) getting wiped out by a lass doing an illegal right turn - he forward flipped over the bars landing in a squat and was ok, if he been on a gixer he would have eaten three-quarter panel. Looks nice but you will be best on supermoto-esque tyres for the road.

Ohh ive had plenty of fun on it already and ive only had it a week.

Obviously completely different to the sports bike, but i cant really say ones better than the other really. Both fun in there own way.

Its great being able to ride around derbyshire and be free to pop off down a green lane when you spot one.
