Hoo-yeah, just brought it home today!!

I had a BMW K1200R, which was big and long and heavy (oh yeah, and fast). Track days were a workout! But I kept watching the supermoto riders having the greatest time out there, so I knew I had to get one. Did I choose wisely?

The black R75/6 is the "date bike" I also got today. The wife helped me choose it (God love 'er). You know, for formal occasions, dinner & a movie, or club rides.

Hey brich

I'm in Auckland, New Zealand. I got it from AMPS. I bought the bike in July last year and the dealer was giving away the motard setup (wheels, discs, and disc relocation bracket, but not tires) for free. I'm no dirt rider, so I had them prep it as a motard. Yes, I still have the knobbies. I swapped everything over once (takes about an hour) to go for a dirt ride, and came to this conclusion: I am too old and out of shape for a dirtbike with this much power!

The motard wheels went back on when I got home. Well, actually they went back on about three days later when I could move again.

I'm pretty sure they're still giving away the motard kits.

Hello Dave,

Thanks for the reply. I'm in the States and it will be a cold day in HELL before any of our dealers give away a free tard setup with the purchase of a new bike. I hear about this happening every where but the states, sucks for us. Thanks again for the info.
