Which Supermoto Upto £3000?

Suzuki DRZ400 SM would be a good choice. It's tall which would suit and bullet proof. Loads of parts around for them if you fancy tarting it up. I just bought a 2005 S model for under 3,000 with low milage.

 

Yes drz has electric start. Loads of tuning mods for um too.

 

I had a KTM 640, great bit of kit.

 

You can buy the big bore kit which I think takes it out to approx 450cc and a FCR flat side carb conversion etc and these mods really up the horses if you want more performance. That said the 400 cc lump is engaging in standard state. They are a bit limited top end needing a 6th gear ideally (its a 5 speed box), however, cheap front / rear sprocket options can improve this. www.thumpertalk.com is a good forum to read up on the DRZ.

 

Mine was a 2003 640 with leccy start. It also had full full Akra. Properly loud with plenty of cracking and banging going on.

 

Used a Yamaha XT660SM for a few months in 2015, was a whole lot of fun and motor appeared bomb proof

 

CCM are good entry level bikes- the Suzuki engined 644 is reliable and responds ok to a free flowing pipe and a re-jet . Comes with WP suspension and brembo brakes as standard , just a tad lardy
There's also a 710 big bore conversion available also , which makes it a whole better bike

May have one available - pm if you're interested

 

CCM R30

 

Down side with most KTM's is a lack of an ignition key so you'd need to hide some kind of 'cut off switch', I think the DRZ comes with a key.

 

I had this 640 for around 6 months, Had a few mod's(fcr flat slid carb, akra's etc) Great fun around town but I only ventured into the open roads a couple times and totally hated it, Not for doing many miles on, Ide never have another one but if its your thing you wont go far wrong with one of these,

 

i found my hypermotard real hard work, so much i sold it for a zx10r.
