That supermoto isn't a streetable model. Do you want a streetable or not? If you do then get the 690SM (or soon coming 690SMR). Or if you prefer a V-twin mid-size supermoto then look at the Aprilia SXV 4.5 or 5.5 model.

These bikes are high revving, high performance vehicles so expect a lot more maintenance than a typical bike like the SV650.

You can convert any KTM dirtbike into a streetbike.

But I do love the motards. My next bike will probably be a true dual DRZ400. But after that I want a KTM 690.

Might as well throw this in there...

I was getting bored with my bike until I tried a track day. New-found love was what I found within minutes of being out there. But you could still track the supermoto, too. .
