What the hell is THAT???
BMW Xmoto. 650 G thumper with supermoto wheels and tires + they all had ABS. That is a factory stock picture.
Other then the uncomfortable seat and the high waistline pretty much the most perfect bike in the world for someone like me.

I really, really like the Bandit 400, especially the nekkid red one with white wheels. Unfortunately they're pretty rare and I've never been able to find one for sale for a reasonable price.
The GS500 is a vertical twin. Outside of the SV, I don't think Suzuki ever built any small bore V-twin sporty bikes (at least not that were sold in the US.)
Bumping from the dead, my Bandit 400 bought for cheap with a rusty tank and junked carbs, cleaned everything out and took it for a test spin (still needed to sync the carbs, so the idle was off).....sounds like an indy car!:

That thing is berkeleying sweet! It does sound like an indy car!
I rode a buell blast the other day. While the bike was the definition of ratty overpriced pile, it was, indeed, a blast to ride. Who cares how slow it is when it can transition and carve like that?

I would love a lightweight aluminum Bianchi road or cyclocross frame with a 9-11 speed rear and lightweight/durable wheels and tires. Wait, does this count since it has no motor involved?
