NICE! That thing sounds like a great bike. The SR article about it says it is way easier to ride than the 1098. I want to ride a Hypermotard. Those are insane.

I saw one sitting right next to the 848 at the bike show this weekend. Very nice. I dont really know anything about them, but I'd ride one given the chance.

I sat on one...never rode. They are small. And tall. It's almost like nothing is there. Wide bars. Would probly have tremendous leverage. But I'm the same height as you and I can't flat foot at all.

Sound just like a dirt bike.

Every vid I've ever seen of it the thing is on one wheel. Front or back....doesn't matter. It's got the 1098 brakes on it...which are overkill for that bike.

I got to ride a Hypermotard at the VIR race this year. It would suck off road. Too damn heavy and torquey. Loads of fun on the street tho.

I still havent scored a ride on 1125 yet. I do like it tho.

It's just want the Hyper for street duty. The 1125 is sick. But I love my Firebolt.

I would rather have a Monster. Slightly more versatile.
