Most supermoto trackdays are held on kart tracks, so narrower than kames with piles of tyres at the sides. Kames would be far too tight for a sports bike but probably fine on a SM.

They are good and uber basic.

Haven't had a battery in it for 14-16months, put a new one in checked over the bike, bled thru some fresh fuel and bingo first time.

Had a blat up and down the street and snap, clutch cable, £20 later and oily hands, nae bother.

I had forgotten how awesome it sounds, it is like riding the biggest 'full sus bike eva' without getting out of breath :lol:

No probs, just stick them both in the back of the 300C ;)

Am interested in some Kames action, the Elise might not see KH action this year, but Kames has less chance of me meeting another car intimately...!

:withstupid

Looks like exactly what I'd want for my first (non 125) bike.

Unfortunately my bike fund made my car green, and Erica won't let me, and I've not ridden a bike since Aug 2008 when I passed my bike test :leave
