I wonder why it is that KTM is the only company that sells a motard-like bike here in the 'states. Or maybe it's outside of Japan? I dunno -- does anyone know of a non-KTM motard that's sold outside of Japan? BTW, I saw an ad in the Feb. issue of "Rider's Club" (Kakiuchi, about pg 9) that included a Suzuki motard based presumably on the DR650 called the 'XF650'. I know it wouldn't make it to these shores with that name, but what else could be keeping it? OTOH, maybe Kakiuchi does custom fab type stuff and the XF650 is their creation. But then why show it on a page otherwise filled with stockers? I'm just too lazy to dig out the dictionary... -- Cloyce Austin, TX

In the UK motard (Supermoto) bikes seem to be gaining in popularity. A British company called CCM do a bike based around the Rotax lump. http://www.ccm-motorcycles.com Kawasaki do an SM bike (for the Jap market) based around the KLX250SR lump called the D-Tracker. I don't have any links and I'm not even sure whether it's still made ... Sorry Husqvarna ,Husaberg and VOR also do SM bikes. The Suzuki XF650 is called the 'Freewind' but I don't think that it sold too well over here... It is a stock bike.. Check out http://www.supermotech.co.uk for more european supermoto bikes As you've probably guessed, I'm quite keen on supermoto bikes. I'd like to do something with my old A1 but I guess I'll just change the wheels for (prehaps) 17" ones when funds become available. The link above looks quite good with the 17" rear and the 18" front so this has certainly given me food for thought even though that bike appears to be based around the C model. -- Andy - Southampton,UK

Donno about the low front fender though, and it looks like one of those evil little KLR gas tanks. After checking out Pats "timeline" page, m'thinks the A1 is definitely the best looking KLR to date. Close second being you guys with the blurghy bluish green. Scott A14 (od green & grown to like it)

Andy: You missed an outstanding option in the supermotard class, the MZ Black Panther. If you are looking for good value like the KLR, the MZ has it. The Yamaha motor is a workhorse. Mark S.

Andy, Looks almost identical to my '95 KLXC3, except for graphics and that lowered front fender. (oh yeah, the frame color on mine came in that gaud awful purple) Marshall in Afton, Ok

Hello, there. In sweden there are a number of bikes. One MuZ that I do not know the "name" of. And, KTM supercompetition 620 racing, KTM 640 LC4-E supermoto, Husqvarna SM 610 S, Husaberg FE600E and finally VOR SE 503. There might be more than that.
