I am sure the KTM supermoto bike will not be cheap. Has anyone tried the Suzuki DRZ-400SM? I am sure it isn't in the same league as the KTM due to displacement but I bet it is fun all the same!
The Suzuki is (obviously) just a DRZ400S with different tires plus a few minor changes and cool bits, and it is even more reasonable if you just buy a non-M and change the tires. There is one problem though. The DRZ isn't really a proper street bike, it just has lights so you won't get busted by Sheriff Greenteeth if you need to cross a short stretch of tarmac between trails. One change they didn't make was putting a real seat on it. Believe it or not, Corbin makes one for the DRZ but I don't know if it is even remotely bearable or not. The stock seat isn't if you actually intend to go anywhere.
