Supermotos

Supermoto is the smallest production segment and arguably the most fun. Take an enduro bike, fit 17-inch street wheels with sticky tires, big front brake, and you've got a street-legal hooligan tool. The 690 SMC R, 701 Supermoto, Dorsoduro, and DR-Z4SM cover essentially the entire US production market — there are barely any others.

What they're good at: city riding, backroad blasts, track days, and being able to flick into any direction instantly. Light weight (140-160kg / 310-350lb), tall stance, narrow, maneuverable, and brakes that will lift the rear wheel off the ground.

What they're not good at: highway. Single-cylinder buzz at 80mph for an hour isn't fun. They're also typically tall (around 900mm / 35-inch seat) so short riders struggle, and service intervals on the bigger singles are short. But for the type of riding most people enjoy most — short, twisty, fast, fun — there's nothing better.
