Honda FMX650

[anonymous-user]

Local Honda dealer has an ex-demo for sale at £3999 - a saving of £700 off list. Does this seem like a good deal?

Sorry, mate, not good news...quote from the Times...

"Honda clearly had young male riders in mind when it named its trendy new supermoto-inspired motorcycle the FMX650. But I’ve got news for Honda. It’s the girls that this bike will appeal to"

Now I claim to know nothing about bikes, but this was the first web search I picked up on...

I'm hard enough to cope with that!!! IIRC it was an article by a biker girl so not very surprising!!!

If you want something like that you must have a look at KTM as these bikes are streets ahead of the Honda for this particular type of bike.

Have already been to see KTM.... the 640 Supermoto is lovely. Just think for a first bike something very very reliable and not as expensive might be in order!!

I'd love a Supermoto type thing for hooning around on - let me know how you get on -I'm sorely tempted :-)

Cool,

I can't imagine plod being too impressed at me backing it in all over the place though...

Have fun and keep it rubber side down. All the best.

Got it yesterday..... plenty plenty fun for me at the moment!!!! I'm using it purely as a fun bike so not bothered whether it's a "real" supermoto or not. It will certainly hone my skills!!!!
