Supermoto
Went to the bike shop this afternoon to get some service items for the DR350 and order some R+G`s for the SV650, came across the new DRZ400 SM in the showroom. I was quite taken with this bike, looks nice etc, (Shame its not available for £1 like the bandit)
Anyone have opinions on this bike, or any other supermoto bikes I could to be looking at? Been told about R30 ( bit manic?) and the the KTM variants.. |
Why not just turn your DR350 into a supermoto & spend what you've saved on nice toys !! :D

Well, having owned a KTM LC4 640 - I can honestly say - don't touch it with a barge pole unless you want to sepnd as much time stripping down, cleaning & rebuilding it as you do riding it. The build quality was utter crap !! A mate of mine had the road going DR350 which he converted & said was Ok but lacked 'grunt' - sold it & bought a Husqvarna 610 & that was a sweet machine !! Not cheap though :cry: Guess it's like most things what one person likes - another won't etc. Best advice would be to try as many as possible & check out any owners clubs for the lowdown. Good hunting & may your rear end always be sideways !! (if you know what I mean !!) |
Thanks for the opinion of the KTM - the LC4 has been mentioned to me, but I would not of guessed it was such high maintenance, although I know their motox bikes are.
My DR350 is road legal, I use it for green laneing, commuting and larking around, but I also feel it would not make a very good supermoto - not enough power. |

It makes sense when you think about it though - 'cos in very basic terms a supermoto is just a dirt bike with different wheels !!! :D |
Honda have one out now i think it's a 450 looks good and it would be reliable.
my mate at work has a r30 he loves it but i would'nt buy one now as you would'nt get a warrenty |
ok - might be a silly question. . . but whats the difference between a
super moto trials bike eurdo bike (its spelt someting like that) a crosser motorcross bike ? |
