Supermoto

Husqvarna's largest Supermoto is as mad as a bath full of earwigs, but it can do sensible too

With BMW money now behind them and their financial future assured, Husqvarna are keen to blow away the bad memories of the past

A user-friendly KTM supermoto with a 150-mile tank range? Jon Urry wonders what the world is coming to.

How does KTM’s 690SMC stack up against Husqvarna’s rip-snorting 510R on the country backroads of southern England?

BMW's most radical, stripped-down bike ever. With only 30 in the country and a stratospheric price tag of £13k, the Megamoto is as exclusive as it is rampant. Get ready to spend your city bonus

The bigger version of the 450, more power, bigger balls. Nutters need only apply

Suzuki’s latest 125 is a street-smart supermoto, ready to do battle with the urban rat race at a sedate pace.

Let’s get straight down to it. The Hypermotard 1100 EVO has shed a shed-load of weight. The more compact engine is 5.2kg lighter and the chassis loses 1.2kg. Ducati has also upped the compression ratio from 10.5:1 to 11.3:1. The result?
