How Many S2K Owners Here, Have Motorcycles?

I have a hypermotard that I take up to the canyons when I feel like being a real hooligan. Lol 365lbs 115hp & 65lbs torque, strap that to which is basically a beefy supermoto, the thing is insane.

I've had bikes all my life...well, since I was 17 anyway. Currently I ride a '01 BMW R1150GS that I bought new - the only "new" motorcycle I've ever owned! It's got over 100k on it now and still runs like a top!
Since I bought the S though, I find I don't ride the bike nearly as much. Probably less than half the number of miles each year. It's a tough life when you have to choose.

I have a 04 KTM 250 EXC 2 stroke that I recently restored and converted to supermoto/street legal. Its so much fun! Running the new Bridgtone S20 battleaxe 17" 120/160's. Bike weighs 240lb wet and puts down 45hp average stock.
I have however upped the compression to optimize 92 oct, had some other trick head mods done and ported intake and carb and added an intelajet for being able to lean out the main jetting for more WOT power with the ability to manually control main jetting/afr via enrichment knob. I can tweak it for temp or elevation changes to always get the best WOT tune out of the bike, plus the jet resides in the mouth of the carb for improved fuel atomization (kind of like a dry shot in a nitrous set up) Its about as close to efficient as you can get without being FI/ECU controlled. I don’t know exactly how much power I added with this stuff since I haven’t dynoed yet, but its made really noticeable changes in power curve off idle all the way through powerband, particularly in the upper revs where the band has increased about 2k rpms. You cant keep the front wheel on the ground with these bikes stock anyway, but when you road gear them to cruise at 70mph and pull 120mph, that gearing changes the character of the bike to be more predictable and hold the road, and witht he added mods/power its a great match. I got no issues keeping up with any of the big liter bikes under 120mph through the twistys like you im sure. Power/weight is fantastic and I can flick that thing around like nothing, brake super late etc.
