Isn't that the old one? Different motor I think.
I meant these ones - the 701 series.

I had an older Husqvarna 510TE (made in the MV Agusta factory in Italy) before they were sold to BMW (before they were sold to Pierer Group)....It was actually pretty reliable, though a lot of tingly vibes. Apparently the supermoto versions had a balancer shaft. They got a re-release not long back badged as SWM. Great bikes apparently.

If you have the bunce, the ktm / Husqvarna 690 based Supermotos are bonkers and reliable. I’d get banned in a hot minute on one.

Plantain a seed for future generations?

Fertile ground for it.

This is how we get huge organisations....to the 0.2% of our actual fucking brains which is plastic now!
Chapeau! Delightfully put.

Yeah - under sprung and under damped. They're often progressive springs too, which I hate.
Even without the emulators, straight rate springs for your weight and 15w oil is normally a really good upgrade. -
10W sounds a bit light maybe for old damper rod forks - if you can be bothered, fitting cartridge emulators is not a hard job and makes for a much better fork experience. If it feels lower, the springs might be a bit saggy - are they very soft?

I'm kind of with Lynx on this one, if you saw the accident, tell them about it. I wouldn't comment on the speed - it's conjecture, even if you did glance down at the speedo when he passed. I agree, it should be a learning experience for the rider, but it still seems pretty clearly the car driver's fault. In my experience, the Met seem to have an institutional prejudice against motorbikes and bikes when it comes to accidents, although maybe things have changed since I left!

Bit more progress on the Triumph…I’ve still many little jobs to do, which I’ve been putting off in favour of floss. It does go well now, despite the rotten flat spot from the TT pipes.
Don't hate on the brown seat - it was free!
Yeah - same engine in all of them. I think they're mostly the same bike, too.
