Supermotos require a lot of looking after, but they'd make it most places, but have you seen how thin the seats are?  not too comfy

Also how often(ish) Would a ccm 404 dual sport need servicing?3k miles?? |
the 404 is a competition enduro/moto type bike so will require regular servicing. My WR needs an oil change every 500 or so miles  I'd expect the 404 to be near the same amount of servicing. Not to mention endless checking of bolts and nuts as they all work themselves loose quite easily and air filter, spark plugs etc, thats just if nothing does go wrong - depends on the type of motard you buy really - the WR/exc/husabergs/vor's etc are competition bikes and need a lot of looking after. The more enduro friendly bikes like the DRZ's, DR. XT etc are more reliable/longer service periods.

How is the yamaha for small commutes(15mile)?? |
It'd be perfect for that, especially if it's around town. As long as you don't need to carry more than a backpack holds anyway.

And the CCM 404 DS is 39bhp (prob v close to 33bhp at the crank) and when/if i pass me test i will be restricted! |
Be careful with the CCM, CCM have just gone into administration so parts are going to be difficult to come by! A Husky TE410E would be a nice equivalent, or maybe a DRZ400 if your tall.
The acceleration is v good, top end is a bit bleugh basically, but who needs top end when your hooning around a track/country lanes/town!

Don't discount the MZ Mastiff and Baghira Street Moto. They are a little heavier than the others but are equipped with top class suspension, brakes and rims. The motor should be more reliable than the others and they are a grand cheaper to buy new than a CCM...you are getting a lot more bike for your money.
I don't know why I am singing their praises though, the fucking dealer in Edinburgh has had mine for SIX weeks now awaiting a new engine under warranty (blew the original one, but I am the first person I have heard of who has experienced a bottom end failure in a Yam XTZ derived motor). The nasty letter is in the post as we speak!
Oh yeah, service every 6k km, rear tyre every 3k or so. I rode mine from near carlisle to the orkneys and back this summer, (oh yeah, I blew the engine  ) but that is a real oddity, I am the first person to experience an engine self-destruction in six years of production.

im soon to be selling my bike... it has supermoto gearing, its unfaired, but has race posture and is 32 bhp. Perfect mix really, altho i warn you, the acceleration can still get you into highly illegal regions of speed (hence my selling, impending ban).
It was brought for 1400 and ive spent an extra 300-400 ish on the swine, but id still sell at 1400 really.

It won't have supermoto gearing, it'll have road gearing.
SM gearing is slightly different as you need to gear for both on and off road. Your Goose being a road bike will be geared for more top end speed etc. My WR in SM gearing will top about 100mph but then it has about 15 more bhp then the goose and is a more racier engine than the DR350 enduro engine.
HTH - goose are good bikes for 33bhp, but it's not, and never will be the same/similar as a supermoto - completely different ball games.
Good luck selling though, theres a lot of people after them I reckon  |
There are many road bikes with traily gearing, and the goose is one i believe. If not its got DEFINITELY the traily engine, and its a single. 0-60 flat 5 seconds, and i shit you not as i did it myself a fair few times, altho its only the first two gears that are short, the rest are kinda long, but by third your doing 50 so who cares 
And to clarify, not that im boasting (so no flaming goddamnit fluffy!) but when i got done at 73, id come off a roundabout about 80 yards before its a 40, i was doing 30 at the r'bout, and was doing 73 past traffic before the end of the 30. Not sure if thats good or bad, whether i was still accelerating or what, but hell. Thats not slouchy.
Sadly if you get a bike that is genuinely 33 brake rather then restricted to 33brake they will accelerate fooking well. Thus your licence... well it suffers  
And thanks yams i think it should sell quite well when i sort it out a bit mroe, theres a few things giving me some annoyance. But thats why we have ebay, bid to buy etc etc.

Oh and the road Dr350 isnt THAT much slower then the goose. Which could be attributed to final drive rather then gearbox.
Oh and our hartford legion 125 has traillie gearing, wheelies like a mare... specially for a 4t 125

lol don't get me wrong, DR350 may be an enduro but they are vvv fast at accelerating simply down to the gearing and torque. Altho enduro is a bit slower than SM gearing but still they'd give a good few bikes a run for their money in the 0-60's
The goose is a standard (I believe) DR350 engine with about half the weight of a Dr350 and as you say, a genuine un-restricted 33bhp is MUCH better than a restricted bike.

CCM are in administration, and awaiting someone to buy them! (I think Suzuki should really, because im told the 404 has a 'zuki engine!)
T.W.O Says "CCM motorcycles ceased trading on Wednesday 8 July, With 50 out of 55 employees being made redundant!!"
Sounds like a huge company! |
