Tell me thats not a huge tail pack on here...
You my friend, are one step away from a top box... ![]() The tyres look a little caked in mud and the bikes clean, were you taking it nice and slow?! Good to see your getting out though, I'll be out on mine once my thumb heals enough to hang onto the bars ![]() |

If your looking at getting a supermoto to go offroading youll really need bigger wheels and knobbly tyres

i know the pegaso trails has a 19" front wheel and standard 17" on the rear the rest of the pegaso series has 17" on front and rear and the dorsoduro has 17" wheels on front a rear.
i know if wanted to do any off roading again knobblys would be needed/expected. tbh i might save some cash up and get a honda off road only toy more fun throwing that around the mud again getting a police chase goings, aquaplaning the canals to get away, its very scary to make the wrong turn on and go down a slope hit water then start aquaplaning on top of a canal the as your going down the weir to get out the water and look for traction with such wet tyres. yes i was one of those off roaders that always got police attention, nothing teaches you speed off road like a police chase and no i was never caught ![]() |

![]() Up to that point I had been slow, it was so muddy with all the snow melt that every time I got up on the pegs, I had a slide and had to jump back down to save it, so I gave up, sat on the seat and took it slow. Bike is muddier in the top photo, second green lane was less like a ploughed field and more like a muddy track, but with a harder base underneath, got up on the pegs and gave it a bit of a belt along there. There's something on my bike that does't like getting wet though, cut out twice after creating some spray in some of the deepest puddles (1 foot deep or so), and had to have the revs kept artificially high to keep it running. Both crap. If you want a supermoto, and want to green lane, get something that you can convert back and forth simply by swapping wheels. XT660R can be converted into an XT660X by putting a R brake disk on the X wheels, re-routing the speedo cable to the outside of the forks and adding some spacers to increase spring pre-load on the front forks. |
