Supermoto thread

[slaterd]

This thread couldn't have come at a more perfect time in my life. I'm gonna get back into the dirtbike scene when I get my refund. I was thinking of making one street legal but I'm not sure of which to use. Are they kosher for highway use for 40 miles one way? Mind you budget is sub 2k. Any suggestions?

Fired up the drz today to get some fuel moving through it and keep the battery semi charged. Snapped a couple of shitty cell pics. I'm planning on adding new graphics before spring and a few maintenance necessities.

You guys are doing it all wrong.

Or fall, then not worry about picking it up because that truck behind you isn't going to be able to stop before killing you anyways. I'm also good with not riding in 0° weather. If I wanted to ride a motorcycle in the winter, I'd live somewhere without real winters, sort of like where you are. Here we have bikes built specifically for snow, they're called snow mobiles. ;)

qft.

I'm all for all-weather riding. But there is a line that should be drawn if it is near freezing. Unless it has been super-dry, the risk of going down is just too great.

Like the couple of miles of slick as ice mud we were on to get to the "snow patch" It's a damn supermoto, fall, pick it up and go some more.

Our roads look the exact opposite of your "snowy" adventure. Small patch of pavement surrounded by ice packed snow.

I currently have a mostly stock '05 DRZ400sm. The bike is fun as shit but I'm thinking about selling it to fund an RMZ 450 to tard out. Damn snow needs to go away so I can take it out to play.

Go ride anyway ya waffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffles ( taken yesterday )



Better pic of the bike, Husky 08 610sm

I honestly had the long lost goal of making my yz250 a street legal bike. Its possible in NC, but just never followed through with it. 2 stroke street legal bike would be awesome.

i have two, but they're sports, not motards- Derbi GPR. you east-coaster guys got a lot more of them than we did, probably easy to find.

I anticipate buying a Zuki DR-Z400 this year. What made you choose Honda?

My dad has the DRZ 400 and it's a great bike. It rarely needs maintenance which is a BIG plus.

I found a street legal 450r locally on Craigslist and had to pick it up. In Cali they're pretty hard to come by. I was originally looking for a Husky 510 but the Honda popped up first :) It's a great bike! It is currently in need of a valve adjustment so I am ordering the Hot Cams shim kit soon.
