I like it a lot - a whole lot.  Would still like to have a fuel tank that would hold 5 gal.

It'd be nice if the HMT tank even held 3 gallons...

It holds 3.3, slightly less then the new Monster's 3.8. Chris Kelley is weeks away from releasing his Hyper replacement tank. Estimated size..7 gallons.  [clap]

Yeah, the Monster holds 3.8, and doesn't let go of it! I've run out of gas before and STILL never put more than 3.2 gallons in it...

thanks for posting the pics. looks pretty cool.  but, to call it supermoto is being quite liberal.  I wouldn't foresee it performing worth a piss on a supermoto track.

Yup.  Supermoto styled bikes is what they are.  For some reason the look caught on but not what really makes it a supermoto.  I never understood that.  It is like the Hummer H2/H3.  They copied the look of an ugly but functional truck but left out the function.
