I'm pretty much set on getting either a Husky 450smr or the 510smr. I'll consider the KTM 450 or 525 as well but I think I'm gonna get a better deal on a Husky. I'm going back to the dealer Saturday to go over the prices and what the additional costs will be by having them set it up to be street legal.
Anyway, I want to hear from sportbike riders what they think of these machines. I've already been told by the supermoto guys how they compare to sportbikes but obviously they are bias and I wanna hear the other side from you guys. I'll definately be doing some trackdays on it. Do people really get passed all day long by the 'tards at the track or is that kinda far fetched? Obviously, it comes down to the rider but I think you know what I mean.
My first bike was an xt600 so I have some experience with thumpers but I never pushed the limits of that bike because I was still learning and I had some big, nasty knobby tires carrying me around.
