Got my Hypermotard in January and had a bit of bother with it. However, it's all been sorted under warranty and is back in rude health now. Only ridden sports bikes in the past. Aprilia RS125, CBR600RR and an R1. Tried an 1100 about three years ago and loved it but never bit the bullet. Found an 821 locally and did the deed. Absolutely loving it...and not missing the sports bikes at all. One question about the mirrors though. Don't like the stock mirrors and was looking to replace them with bar end mirrors. Don't want to lose the handguards though. Does anyone know of any that will fit whilst retaining the guards? Thanks Scoobs.
