Hi guys, looking to get my test done in the next couple of months , and have my heart set on a supermoto. (I've already done my CBT and Bike theory test so hopefully can sort it out before summer!)

Insurance isn't an issue, as everything I have gotten quotes on has been easily affordable.

I'm looking at spending about 3 grand, give or take.

I would LOVE an SXV550, but a good first bike it would not make.
I like the idea of the DRZ400SM, but I feel I would get bored of it after a couple of months.

I'm 6' 2" and about 14.5 stone, so need something pretty chunky.

Something from the KTM stable is a probability (450/525/640/theres far too many choices!)
Or an MX bike that has already been converted for SM use (YZ426/WR450 etc seem to crop up on ebay etc)

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers, Dan.
