So 2 days ago I picked up my new motorcycle. I have been looking for a KTM supermoto for a long time, but here in South Florida, the supermoto market is really (and I mean *really*) limited.
Last Saturday I strolled into the local BMW dealership to check out a bike for my father in law. They had the G650X Moto on sale because they needed to clear some floor space. The bike had been standing there for a long time already and I never considered it an option, because at a base price of almost USD $10.500, I think it is very overpriced.
However, the final sale price was about USD $1500 more then I was considering to spend on a used KTM. After some consideration of benefits and performance, I decided to go for it.
There is only 1 KTM dealer in Miami - and I do not feel comfortable with them - while the next one is about 350 miles north. You can't beat the dealer network of BMW, nor the 36 month/36K miles warranty and road-side assistance plan.
Since I want to make some modifications, a friend of mine suggested that I would set up a blog. I noticed that there is very little information out there about this particular bike (nearly everything focuses on the xChallenge or the xCountry), so I thought this might be a nice place to put my thoughts together and maybe meet some other Supermoto or XMoto riders.
When I find some useful sites, info, parts, mods, tweaks, settings or more, I will post them here.
Meanwhile, check out the forums at the Chain Gang, they have a section called X Cons of Cellblock G, which is dedicated to G650X bikes.

I found a moto x for just over $6k used with very low milage. Try looking at other BMW dealers online.
