OK. Long story short. I’m 69 and my knees are knackered. I sold my race car recently to release some cash for a new house and sold my GSXR1000 track bike because I couldn’t get the best out of it because my knees aren’t great. Consequently, I’m desperately short of toys and keep thinking about a decent supermoto just to go out and have a bit of fun on. The upright riding position and high seat could work for my knees, so should I buy an LC4, or should I start smoking a pipe and stay at home and watch Bargain Hunt and Pointless?

Thanks for the replies. I’m 6’4”, so see the seat height as a bonus, particularly with dodgy knees that really don’t like being folded up onto rear-sets. I’m also not planning on crossing any continents, nor attempting to break the land speed record, so just want something to have a laugh on over fairly short blasts and maybe an occasional trackday for fun. I’ve done plenty of trackdays riding in the fast group, so I think a supermoto like the LC4, should be ok with the intermediates. I guess it’s time to start looking seriously.
