Will be interesting to see what the HyperMotard people will do in the next couple of years to convert that bike for the dirt. It won't take much imagination, effort , or money to do so.

I concer with the previous posts. You might be somewhat disappointed with the power, however, as a daily rider, a one-up tourer, and traffic carver you wouldn't be disappointed. If you want the power and feel the need for speed, nothing beats a 999S. I even find the ergo's of the 999 quite pleasant ...
