Thread: Decisions Decisions Decisions

Hi Guys

Ive been browsing the forum for a couple of weeks whilst researching a change of bike. Just sold my Triumph Daytona T595 and have eyes for a Supermoto. Question is which one?

Bike will be used on some twisties and a 20mile motorway commute and the occasional weekend trip with my mates. Ive also got a hankering for some track fun. Ive ridden a friends 950smr and really liked it but wondering whether its just a little too road focused and a supermoto track day would be a no no. Or do I look at the 660/690 but what are they like to commute into London on?

Be grateful for any real life experiences and wise words of wisdom.

For what you want it for, and if ya budget will run to it, gotta be a 690 all the way I would say

test ride both then decide

only got a 625, .... but very similar to a 660 and i wouldnt wanna commute on that.... try a 690 ?

used to commute from oxford to london on my 640

690 SMC will do all you've mention without problems

Ive ridden a friends 950smr and really liked it but wondering whether its just a little too road focused

If you liked the 950SMR ...and wanted something a little less focused...a no brainer 950sm bigger tank...stonking real world bike

....one of the best bikes you can buy (no I have not got one....any more) ...if you go smaller you would miss the power

why not? 660s are easy to get on with

I love my 660 & I comute 10 miles on it but 20 miles on a motorway, fook that for a game of soldiers!

The 660 is definatly on the toy side of the fence mate, I haven't ridden a 690 but I would imagine it is a wee bit more practicle.

If it was me I would be steering (npi ) towards a 950 I recon

KEITH I wouldn't wanna commute on urs either, you should try putting the engine back in 1st!. I might have some pedals round here somewhere you can bolt on for the timebeing if u like......
