Other Anybody on here have supermoto bikes?

[High Speed Industries]

A few weeks ago I scored myself a 2013 yz 250 with one ride on it. The plan is to make it a super moto for summer and ride it as a dirtbike for winter.
Does anybody else on here have a supermoto bike? Do you like it?
I should have plates for my bike in a week or two. I'm hoping it's as fun as I think it will be.

How she looks now.

That's the original front tire.

This is my buddy's yz. I'm hoping mine turns out similar.

Wow. That is a pretty neat bike. I wonder how a 2-stroke handles on the road... I am planning on picking up a nice dual sport for commuting and dirt roads, but having grown up on two-stroke bikes, I would wonder how that would be in a city/road atmosphere.

Cool idea though!

I had a KTM smr450 supermoto bike for several years. Absolutely loved it. Sold it last year and I shouldn't have. I'm not sure a yz250 on the street is the best or easiest thing to ride around on (from a ride ability standpoint) but it would be cool nonetheless.

Supermoto bikes are way cooler than crotch rockets IMO

I have a 2014 rmz450 street legal sm. I swap wheels all the time. Just fore warning it's a cop magnet....

Also. Hope u can carry a gas can with 2 stroke oIL. That's the only thing that stopped from doing a 2 stroke...
I can make it from my house to work and back to the gas station .I get around 60 miles depending how I ride witch is typically wot

Ive got a drz400sm. Crazy fun bike in the twisties, 0 fun on freeway. I got a sm to get pitted tho, not go in a straight line haha.

Dude that two stroke should be a freaking epic sumo. Ive always wanted to turn my cr250 street legal. Your gona have som fun!

I'm not too concerned about mixing gas or reliability of a 2 stroke. I don't plan to ride it super far and it won't be a daily driver.
I'm more interested in carving turns and finding obstacles on the weekends.

The cop magnet aspect of it worries me a bit. I guess it all comes down to how you're riding it and how you handle the cop when you get stopped.

I'm thinking the 2 stroke will be fun on the street. The powerband might make things interesting. I can imagine it will turn some heads.

Maybe I'll burn some castor 927 so it smells good for everybody. Haha

Converted wr450f here.
Love it!
Only with I rode it more. I hate to ride in 90+ weather.

I rode with a guy in athens that bought a ktm 450 last year. That thing would Fly! I don't know what gearing he had but it would cruise at 85 easy.

I have a kx 250 street legal SM and love it. Fun to mess around on but obviously not great for long trips. My buddy has a cr 500 converted aluminum 450 frame that is insane and a blast.

Only have one picture of mine

I started on a drz and then went crazy. They are awesome. The ultimate hooligan vehicle.

Picked up a race bike from superbike unlimited. Wr450, built motor, full ohlins, 6 piston caliper, slipper clutch, etc.

 

[High Speed Industries]

I didn't realize supermoto had such a strong following. Some of the bikes posted on here are sweet.

I can't imagine a cr500 on the street. That thing must be insane.

Do any of you guys go to the track on your bikes? I can imagine they are a blast on a nice race course.

That bike is bad ass. I saw that on supermoto junkie. Great deal too!

 

[Jetfiend]

I sold my Husqvarna SMR450 last year, I miss that thing!

Yea, it was too perfect. I messaged them a couple months prior and they didn't want to sell. I just happened to sell my drz and was on the hunt and they messaged me.

Its mean. This was pretty much my first time riding it and on slicks.

That's a clean looking bike.

You knucklehead, why did you do that?

 

[customride0105]

I had a te511 I supermoto aND loved it then hit a groundhog and ate it totaled the bike. Not fun in stock form but fully modder great bike.

 

[INDebtSJ]

Maintenance wise I would prefer the DRZ or WR for street use.
The new Husqvarna 701 would be nice though!

 

[stuntbikemike]

Make Em Say uhh. I will never sell this street demon.
