My buddy likes it, but I'd never be happy on one unless it was on a (small) track.
Some people just don't like singles. Not me, I love a good thumper. Maybe you need to try one with a little more umph. I present my old KTM Supermoto, the original 690 from 2007. Later on the Duke III 690 and Enduro 690 were developed based on this. BTW, the Ducati Hypermotard wasn't the first motard with a beak, KTM beat them to it by a year. And upon seeing this KTM "beaker" most people say "WTF is that?" Hahah. Anyway, mine made about 70 hp tuned and was wheelies at right hand will. I miss this bike.
