Some of the coolest things in the motorcycle world can indeed become cooler. And a half-liter-class supermoto bike can indeed become even more fun once you've got one with all-wheel drive. A 2014 Christini AWD 450SM, that is.
To cut to the chase, this bike could easily run for one of the best-ever commuters, all-around. Powered by the EFI 450cc liquid-cooled mill like the rest of the bikes in the family, this machine provides plenty of power and torque for solid fun.
But the real fun starts when you're riding into situations when other bikers would pay for more grip. And it's then when the 2014 Christini AWD 450SM shines like the true wonderful bike it is.
With the front wheel traction engaged, this bike will offer critical extra traction exactly when you need it more, on asphalt roads and unsealed trails, alike.
Cue the adjustable suspensions, powerful brakes with 290mm and 240mm rotors in the front and rear, respectively, generous wheel travel and easy-to-operate hydraulic clutch and you've got what the rest of the other supermotards have. Plus AWD!
The 2014 Christini AWD 450SM is available from $9,959 (€7,415).
