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.

QUOTE(jaycee1 @ Oct 8 2022, 01:49 AM) If this is going to be a 120km daily commute, maybe get a bike with more weather and wind protection. Something with a fairing and bigger windshield. Kawasaki has the dtracker, the KLX suoermoto. I've seen some used ones and some new old stock still available...it's not the most comfortable seat for a 120km daily commute though. Am currently commuting with Versys 650. But would prefer smaller bike for daily use and commuting. Versys is for weekend long ride.

QUOTE(paskal @ Oct 10 2022, 09:53 AM) 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.
