There are very few motorcycles in the world
that can make grown men giggle like schoolgirls
than a supermoto, and the KTM 450 SMR
is here to make sure that trend continues.

et me start this review with a question. How is it possible that the supermoto
form of motorcycle sport is not more popular than it is? Supermoto repre-
sents everything good about motorcycling. Massive acceleration, full huck
sideways tarmac drifts, dirt jumps, more drifts, bigger jumps, more acceleration…
For my money, supermoto is the perfect mix of everything I love about motorcy-
cle riding. I even have gone as far as buying my own supermoto, a 2019 Husqvarna
FS450, that I bought just after the national launch way back when. It has since
served as the ideal road racing training partner, antidepressant and therapist.
