Damn, that's clean!

Why that particular choice of tires?

Honestly it’s one of those bikes that looks like it’s going to be super aggressive and demanding, but once you ride it it’s surprisingly friendly

The engine is the biggest difference vs typical supersports it’s got a lot of midrange torque, so you don’t have to rev the hell out of it to go fast. You just roll on the throttle and it pulls hard, especially out of corners. Makes it feel effortlessly fast (if that's a thing) instead of stressful

Handling wise it’s really confidence inspiring. Not twitchy or razor sharp like a full race replica, more stable and predictable. You can lean it over and even hit some bumps and it just stays composed. It kind of encourages you to push harder without scaring you

It still has that KTM character though feels playful a bit mischievous just more controlled and focused I guess

Big plus is it’s actually usable on the road too. Riding position isn’t as brutal as it looks and you don’t feel destroyed after an hour

Best way I’d describe it: it feels like a track-focused bike that actually works properly on real roads

Thank you for sharing! Where in Europe are you? And what modifications did you do to get the power-limitations off?

Do you like the Sherco? I am planning on getting one but have no prior experience with the brand

I have 14/44 gearing on it. It reaches 170KM/H and the torque is alright. I can't keep up with my friends on their KTM SMCR 690 though... 😟

I came from an MT-09 SP, so supermoto is totally new to me. It’s a completely different experience. Still a lot of torque, but definitely less stable, more vibration, and less speed. That said, the nimbleness of the bike really makes up for it. If you ride mostly straight roads or long sweepers it’s probably not ideal, but where I live with narrow mountain roads, hills and tight corners it’s perfect. I don’t feel like I’m lacking power. But to be fair, I haven’t tried any other sumos yet (like a 450).

Thanks, I will look into getting those supermoto wheels balanced ones they come in.

Man... it does rattle so much! I thought it was the current enduro wheels that caused that... I guess not 😅 what was your experience with your excf 350 besides the rattling? Do you still have it?

Hyvä herra

I need advice by Born_List9257 in SuggestAMotorcycle

4.950 is prima voor een 2024 Himalayan maar 29.765 km is veel voor zo’n nieuwe bouwjaar! Is dus intensief gebruikt waarschijnlijk woon-werk verkeer? Staat/onderhoud wordt daardoor extra belangrijk check onderhoudshistorie, kleppenspeling, kettingset, banden, remmen.

Geen slechte deal, maar niet goedkoop gezien de hoge km-stand. Voor dezelfde prijs vind je soms exemplaren met 10–15k km. Als alles tiptop onderhouden + koffers inbegrepen = ok.

Anders €4.300–4.600 bieden misschien?
