  Weight Weenies guitar builds... now there's an idea...

  

  "Thinking about removing the first 9 frets to further reduce weight as I won't be using this guitar for chords..."

  This is a strong likelihood. Even with ferries and VRT it would work out cheaper than buying in Ireland...

  How are Spaniards for maintenance (I know Germans and Polish are known to be fastidious according to biking friends I know who've bought from both)?

  There's definitely a bunch of naked bikes I should be thinking about here that I haven't given much thought to...

  Haven't tried a Shiver, not even sure I've ever seen one in real life.

  I'd ideally like to purchase in Ireland / NI or else I'll buy from Europe, UK is a bit of a pox since Brexit means customs and VAT...

  Any particular reason you want a supermoto?

  This is a great question to be honest... there really isn't any good reason other than they look like an absolute blast for city riding and an odd scoot up the mountains!

  I'd be as inclined towards an Enduro as a Supermoto really but common sense would suggest something like an NX650 / XTZ600 / DR650 would be a more sensible option... would like a DRZ400 but as you've mentioned they're really hard to find a clean one and expensive when they are.

  Still daydreaming about the SXV 550 :(

  Aprilia Dorsoduro would be delish but they're quite a bit more money and hard to come by...

  Love these 701s alright! The Enduro version looks great too! There's a really nice looking GasGas version of both two, I presume there's some sort of brand crossover there too?

  Supermoto TR650 looks pretty fantastic...

  Yeah, have been ogling them also... twice the purchase price of the SXV but probably more sensible for reliability...

  Have also been admiring the Husqvarna TR650... there's something about Husqvarna that appeals to me a lot more than a KTM...

  similar thrills without the hassle

  Suggestions for a hoonworthy commuter?

  I don't even commute every day but I have a bunch of projects coming up in the next year that will allow me to commute to site by bike and dodge traffic...

  Something nimble and fun preferred without racebike maintenance intervals I guess...

  Would any of the KTM / Husqvarna enduro 300-450 bikes be much better in that regard?

  Should I just buy a Dominator?

  Yeah, this is the downside...
  They're basically a road legal supermoto race bike...

  It's a bad idea right :)

  I'm eyeing up an Aprilia SXV 550 for sale at the moment...
  Only done 3,500km but does appear to be a peach and sounds great in the video seller has sent me.

  Am I absolutely mad to even consider it?
  Oil and filters every 1,000km apparently and expensive and hard to find engine rebuilds are common...
