    At one point in time, the HyperMotard(circa gen 1 796 and 1100) was my favourite bike, so much so that I decided to name my username after it.

    But with the passing iterations it has become more and more docile. Now its just a monster that looks like a supermoto. The Dorso, on the other hand, has remained true to its roots.

    Maybe its time for a username change. How does DorsoDork sound?
