I'm not sure why, but Supermoto stuff never really caught on with me. I know plenty of people who have have given up sport riding to go that direction though. Maybe I get enough of a dirt / hooliganism fix through mountain biking? I dunno.
Have you seen the Aprilia version of the Hypermotard? Cool stuff :)
I hadn't seen that bike yet. I like it though. Aprilla's got a very mean look to the bike, almost evil.
It's just recently that I was seriously thinking about a supermoto. We've had a few come in through salvage and I was really tempted to buy one. I've got some time to think though since it takes a few weeks to set all that stuff up.
Don't know if I like it or no, but recently KTM has been coming up with some really awesome bikes. Style-wise, I've been really impressed since they seem to be more different than the standard 4 and still have several thumper single cylinder bikes.
The Superduke is one of those that just looks awesome, and mean at the same time.
An old riding buddy of mine IMed me this morning - about a dozen guys were over on their SuperMotos, loading up for a 2 day adventure ride. Sounded like fun - maybe someday? :)
Every one of my riding buddies who has one, LOVES it! Some have even given up their sportbikes completely to switch over to the motards. I haven't gotten to ride one yet, but I sat on one. They're pretty high since they're basically a dirtbike with street tires, so just keep that in mind.
The motards are really popular up here! I know like 5 guys that have a DRZ, 3 riders who have the SuperDuke, 1 who has the Aprillia supermoto, and I'm sure someone has bought Ducati's Hypermotard by now (but not that I know personally).
If you get one, I'm sure you'll have a blast on it! Everyone I know has! I want one myself. ;) But I'm going to get my GSXR first. :)

I'd love a DRZ400. But I want to get an S, along with a spare set of supermoto wheels.
Speaking of ADVrider, I'll be taking pictures of a couple of guys from there running their BMWs on a motocross course on Sunday. Should be fun. :-)

There must have been over 60+ pictures of people just heading right into rivers/streams/mud and all sorts of interesting wet terrain.
Great site!

KTM also has a 690 supermoto - The Duke.
