Supermoto motorcycles

Long-travel suspension, 17 inch wheels and geometry built for backing into corners. Supermotos trade practicality for the most fun per kilometre in motorcycling, from A1-legal 125s to the 74 hp big bores.

Eight supermoto bikes on the books, scored between 42.2 and 68.3 out of 100 within the class, with the KTM 390 SMC R on top at 68.3. The Fantic XMF 125 Performance is the lightest at 127 kg wet; the Aprilia SX 125 is the cheapest at €4,199; the Ducati Hypermotard 698 Mono is the longest between oil services at 15,000 km. Scheduled servicing runs from roughly €210 per 10,000 km on the Ducati Hypermotard 698 Mono to €505 on the Fantic XMF 125 Performance, on the workshop rates published with every maintenance guide. The most powerful is the Ducati Hypermotard 698 Mono with 77.5 hp, which the formula weighs against weight, price and running costs rather than taking at face value. Every figure comes from a spec sheet and feeds the same 100-point formula, so the ranking below is arithmetic rather than opinion. Each card links to the bike's maintenance guide and its closest head to heads, and the table underneath puts the whole class in one place.
