I have a car I share with my wife. The only time I drive it is when my KTM is being serviced(every other month) for a few days. That yammy looks nice with all the aftermarket bolt-ons. wheels are sharp looking too.Astroman said:Because poeple in Europe want a bike to transport not to race every weekend

I've never owned a car but I think one is overdue.
Here's my ride
Hi,
I'm from Germany and I'm 18 years old. I'm sorry for mistakes but my english is far away from being perfect. The Honda FMX came on the market this year in europe. I think that Honda builds such a bike because germany is a country, where the average biker is 50years old an drives a BMW or Honda PanEuropean or something else that weights more than 200kg an has more than 1000ccm. There is just a small market for supermotos and this market is absolutely dominated by KTM's LC4. The people don't want to have a race bike, that is small an light-weight. They want just a bike that looks like a supermoto, that can be picked up on sunday afternoon, to ride 2 hours on the street an then can be put back to the garage until next sunday. They don't want to care about how much time you have till you must do the next service on it, that will cost you much money or much time in the garage or both.
So the Honda have to build a bike that is durable (don't know if it's the right word)and cheap for being interesting.
Someone who want to have a racy bike will buy an EXC or WR.
I could imagine that it is similar in some other european countrys.
BTW that is a Honda PanEuropean. I don't know if such bikes are driven in USA, too.

I personally like racy supermotos more than big ones and I would wish that in germany, bikes like the XR650R would be sold like in the US. So don't cry of having no FMX sold in the US. The bikes, that are sold at your dealers are much more interesting.
