Where have all the motards gone?......

[duganc1717]

I was on the browsing the web today and noticed a complete lack of motards on the usual manufacturer's websites, no KTM, Husky, Husaberg.... Other than Suzuki's DRZ400SM I see none being produced, am I missing something or is Motard phase over?

[Swizz]

everybody traded in their motards for hayabusas

[Chippertheripper]

No ktm 450smr?

[duganc1717]

Alright I suck, apparently I was looking on the wrong KTM website or something....

Edit: I still do not see anything on he KTM USA site?.......

KTM Still makes the 450 SMR, And we are still around, we just hide in the shadows and strike silently like a ninja in the darkness..........................

What? No way, you guys come rushing out in a blaze of thunder and burnt rubber smoke with at least one wheel in the air doing circles around the target for a good 5 minutes before actually striking.

I wish Aprilia still made the SXV 550. I know a kid who had one and sounded like the end of the world with an Akra pipe on it.

I wish more companies would bring their motards here to the US, but there's no market for them. (Most) People either want a GixxerCBRZXaBusa-1300RRSS or a Harley, with scraps left for the rest of the market to share.

I went to Texas. Took roughly 20% of Massachusetts motards with me.

thanks man...yea i've been there

[TheIglu]

I wanted a motard when I was in college. Specifically, the 'burg. Now they don't make them anymore, and you can't get shit for street legal tards here. Damnit.

One day I'll own one, one day.

[jcbell1007]

Someone buy my 636 so I can get a track motard....

[LXnastynotch93]

Well I was going to sell my FZR and try to swing the funds for this this one but I'm getting no interest in my bike so here you guys go have at it:

If all it really needs is a stator then that's a pretty good deal right there.

If that's all that is wrong with it I'll buy it tonight. Time to make a phone call....

Sadly, with no spark I won't be able to start the thing and see if that is the case or not.

Can I have your CRF with the bum carb then?
