jie~ wan to get supermoto ah~my choice will be the ktm400. highly upgradable, but high running costs compared to the drzsm, which is popular too. u can get a dr-e and then convert too.

I will change myself into a motard so that you can ride me..... :sweat:

 

Jokes aside.... :cheer:

 

Complete pair of 999 clutch master cylinder and brake master cylinder /with intergrated reservoirs and with levers.

Just slap it onto your bike. Going for $700 for both.

Good for I can only think of KTMs!!!

So you must buy KTM.

 

Let me know if anyone is interested, else putting up on ebay for sale. :lovestruck:

If money no problem, go for a KTM lor.

If not, a WR400 is really rock-solid minus the lightness/e-start of the KTMs.

Economical solution to the DRZ-400SM, KTMs.

WR400's are going for a pretty nice price nowadays.

 

Ultimately, really boils down to your needs/budgets.

 

Hope to see you on your motard soon. :lovestruck:

Would have loved a nice, trick WR4 or KTM4/525 motard but mine has to be my daily workhorse also so I chose the DRZ.

Sometimes you gotta make compromises.

 

There are numerous people who will tell you that you can ride a WR/KTM daily though. And it's true.

My ride for 2012 - Yamaha WR250X 2008

Previous rides:

ROAD/FUN: Honda Sonic, VTR250, Kawa Z1000 & Kawa KSR110, Suzuki Savage

SPORT: Kawa ZXR400, Suzuki SV650, Honda CBR600F3 & CBR929RR, Aprilia RS125 & RS250,

DIRT: Honda XR200 & XR600L, DRZ-400SM, DRZ-400-S, GasGas EC200, KTM 200 EXC & 250EXC-F, Tricker
