I got on a 600 supersport and survived. That would be cake compared to the 390 SMC R. Don't be stupid, just wear your gear.

The real problem is the seat height. Shorter riders are gonna struggle at 860mm. The power's more of a concern for newbies than that.

It's all about self-control. It could be a great learner you won’t outgrow quickly, if you can resist the urge to hoon.

Totally! You can always add a tail bag for some storage but other than that it’ll be a blast in the city. Why bother with practicality when you’re having this much fun?

No way. Because of that tiny fuel tank, you'll be stopping for gas every 100km. Good luck carrying anything more than a backpack.

It's all about priorities. If you don’t care about having storage, comfort or being able to sit, it could work. For most people, a Duke would be more practical, but for me it would be the Duke, for sure.

I love riding a supermoto daily. It’s not as comfy as a big ADV bike, but you can flick it around in traffic like nobody’s business.

The question is, do you want to ride practically or do you want to smile every time you ride? Fun sometimes wins out over practicality.

I saw a dude that put a sidecar on his Super Duke R because he wanted to take his dog on rides. It looked ridiculous, but kind of awesome at the same time.

This guy in my town put neon underglow on his. At night it looks like a rolling disco ball. I don't know if it's ridiculous or brilliant.

I’ve seen a Super Duke R with a massive windscreen from a touring bike. The guy really hated bugs in his teeth, but it completely ruined the look.

I think someone in my riding group installed a nitrous system on theirs. Apparently 180 horsepower wasn’t enough. The engine was in pieces, last I heard.

I've seen one with a custom fairing made to look like a sport bike. It kind of defeated the purpose of a naked bike, but it was impressively well done.

I saw one at a bike show with a stretched swingarm and fat rear tire. So they took it and turned it into a drag bike. It hurt my soul a little.

His had a cupholder put on by my buddy. Watching him try to drink a latte and ride was pretty entertaining, not that ridiculous.
