Thank you for the comparison between the hypermotard and the SMCR! I’ve been thinking about buying one or the other. Still haven’t test ridden the SMCR but the reviews all make it sound amazing!
@mathias642310 ай бұрын
Did you buy a supermoto bike ? What did you think of the SMCR ? I love it still., even though the reliability is shit on KTM I still love it. I wish the Japanese would build bikes like the 690/701. Imagine a Yamaha WR650 with 10 000 km service intervals Would be awesome with some Japanese, big cylinder, high service interval supermotos and enduros

I have ridden my KTM 690 Enduro R now since I bought it brand new 2020, this winter I will do the Supermoto conversion to the 17" wheels instead of the 21" and 18" that is on it now. I am just a bit worried that the enduro suspension will be too soft for the street, even if I adjust it to the hardest/stiffest setting. Many hardcore riders would argue that this is not a real supermoto, a real supermoto is a motorcross/enduro bike with slicks on it. This is bike is more of a sacrifice/compromise. For what it is and for what I need I think it is even a better supermoto than a smaller motocross bike with slicks. This bike is a much better commuter and is better for some light traveling to get to the more fun roads. This bike will handle motorways and longer rides. The Hypermotard is much more a naked sportbike with supermoto looks compared to the 690/701. The Hypermotard is almost 50 kg heavier than the 690/701 so it will not be as good for stunts and tricks. 690/701 with some more tooths on the big back sprocket , a lighter full exhaust system and a map on the bike is all you ever need for an all in one commuter bike that you can do some stunting and tricks on. It is one of the best legal hooligan bikes for the road, hands down.

How do these compare to a 690 duke around corners? I love my duke, it handles fantastic on twisty roads and could only imagine these being leaps and bounds better. But the long travel suspension seems like you would have to ride it very differently?

First off, Another great piece, Al! I'm getting used to seeing just you in the picture now; Von Grumble was a bore on the last one. Just sayin'. Energy up, Chris! Also, love the burnout in the bath robe! I think a pair of Bear claw slippers would have really made the outfit complete! Might have been a bit dangerous though! HA! Anyway... Again, the bike looks like it would be a real hoot to thrash around on. But I'm not a fan of the look. And it's way overpriced for what you get. paying that much for something that is a just a toy is not something I am willing to do. But if I were, I'd go with the Ducati. This thing just doesn't do it for me. Many will disagree, and that is fair. I'm not saying the KTM isn't a good machine, it's just not for me. But you make it look good, Al. Looking forward to the next piece! Any hints as to what you will be reviewing next?

I saw the dressing gown on Lamb Chop Rides, so my eyes were prepared for the brutal shock. I asked LCR to review the Husky FS450 compared to this bike, and someone commented that it would SPANK this bike. Sounds like the Husky is yet another cut above this one, which really makes the Hypermotard sound lame. But only some testing will show for sure. Keep up the great work!
