Guess it going to be pretty wild and depends on what you want out of a bike. It certainly isnt for pootling about on. Saying that did chat to a fella at Fowlers a few weeks ago who was touring to Spain on 1.

If it's anything like the 990SM I've had this weekend, I need it in my life. It's like riding a motorbike, but with the cheats on.

SMT apparently is a different bike to the SM. It's been designed for distance work as well as playing silly sods. There's hard luggage which clips into the silencer brackets so no metal work hanging off the bike and it has a bigger tank.

Does look good

There's a good review here..

I think I'd prefer the supermoto, just stick a little screen on it.

It is the SM with a little screen on it..

The 990sm is outrageous.... this one is not much different, despite the screen and tiny panniers (they are there to hold your spare pants!!).

Love it...want one.

As I said I like them and may go for a test ride when they appear in my local dealers.
