right now I am considering getting a supermoto....Husqvarna SM610 is what I am looking at. Its technically classified as dual sport although it looks so close to the sm510r that it could be its big brother.

Also considering the TE610, it has the knobby tires which might not bode well for the daily commute but the street tires on the sm610 might not bode well for the trails.....so much to consider...LOL!

I have myself a XT225 also, it's a 2000 model and it's awesome on gas and light as hell. Have taken it up north to off road in the past and you can go anywhere on that thing. Just don't hang up on a log because that's a good way to wreck that lil pissing 428 chain.

Been looking for 520 conversion for some time to no avail. That would make that little machine bullet proof.

Really?? Wow! I read some bad things about the older 610's like back in 2006, I tried to find reviews about the newer ones and couldnt find anything on them.
