Also in a market for a 250cc for daily ride to work. To and fro is about 120km. Tempted to get the Svartpilen 250 just for the design and KTM engine profile but for the price I could get an MT07.

Am also open to a maxi scooter and Elegan 250 ABS caught my eyes as it is cheap and reliable for a maxi.

Also consider getting a CRF Rally or a used KLX250 and convert it into a supermoto. That or buy an already converted supermoto direct from owner.

Most important thing is the bike is comfortable for an hour highway ride from home to work.

Thanks.

The crf rally and klx have very weak top speed.
Not nice to ride on the highway with that much distance.

I'd take a look at something with fairing and windshield.
Maybe the ktm 250 adventure? Or the 390 adventure with a bit higher top end?

But seriously I think the best bet for you is a maxi scooter. Adv350 should be introduced next year but knowing Honda I'll bet they'll ask nearly 30k for it

Thanks for the suggestion. Elegan 250 ABS is a really an ideal proposition right now.

Or the versys x 250. With fairing, windshield, robust parallel twin, review say also good handling.
Now about 17k on the used market?

Which makes it at the same price as the 2nd Honda cb500x which is also a good commuter bike.
