Who's got one of these toys? Lets see em!

Here's my supermoto bike... well... an old school version I guess. It's an '83 XR500R. Took me a month to convert. Still practicing with wheelies. It's got a drum in the rear, so I'm still not scrapin tail... but having a blast playin!

Nice! Looks like you put some hardwork into that thing, it looks real clean now. I don't really have a supermoto bike but I have a fiddy with street tires on it if that counts

 

hadnt found this bit sweet



and the real toy

 

KX500 Streetbike!! SCHWEET.. hows it feel, I used to ride my buddies and that thing was a monster!

 

Damn!!! Those are a couple of cool lookin bikes!!!

Here's some shots of me in action with my ride. Please keep in mind that it's got a drum on the rear and I'm a chicken ****!

Wow nice one mate

kx500 is stupid on the road :YEAH i love it, just as useable as you would exspect. you cant see for vibration and your looking at the sky anyway but track days is what its mainly used for

hows your Xr500 for stunting??? my klr just cant rev fast enough in 1st gear to get it up slow . Then has sooo much engin brakeing and torque its a bit on the sensitive side, stuff in 2nds better but just having issues trying to lean her back my drum brake just dosnt cut it and i am still makeing the mech for the rear disk brake for the supermoto wheels.

 

It's not bad. It's 21 years old, so there are some "problems" with it. The drum in the back keeps me from really pushing the envelope, so I've got to balance a lot more than with a normal disc brake. The power is good. I can stand it right up in first from a dead stop no problem. Second is a little harder, but it'll come up. Third is outta the question. I live at 10,500ft and at this elevation, the bike has no power on the top end. I've riden it at sea level and I could do stand ups in third with no clutch and fourth with clutch. But up here... it's starving for air. Let's see some pics of the KX pullin wheelies!

Drum brakes work great. My 76 XR75s front brake (drums)works better than the discs on my KX125s. And I can scrape tail on my Xr100 and Ive seen it done a on CRF150s, all drumies.

 

Well that's great lil feller. Talk to us when you're trying to stop an 81 xr500 with them drum brakes.

 

Yeah... it's a little heavier than a 125! But the drums are actually working pretty good for me. I've started scrappin the plate and the drum has no problem bringing me back down on 2 wheels.

 

Big :YEAH to your skills man, wicked i must try harder lol klr is allot less power than an xr

On a side note, that looks like a kick *** bit of road as well

 

I'm totally new to the whole super motard scene, so to clear some things up for me you buy say a 4 stroke dirtbike, put some street tires on it, a headlight and tailight kit, turnsignals etc...and its street legal? If this is the case I gotta get one.

 

Sportsman prepped '92 Husaberg FE-501E.. California street title and green sticker. dirt and street tires. 6spd tranny, Ohlins shock, WP forks: STOCK.. Needs a new recitfier to run the lights (not shown installed in photo)... Extras included... $1500 firm.. I'm going to Iraq and dont want to store it (getting a brand new motard when I come back!!)

Heres my 91 dr650s. 17's, gsxr exhaust(thanks CVBz)

 

This was my Husky. I sold it to get a WR for supermoto.



Sold the WR. Just wasn't riding much. Supermoto bikes are a kick in the *** on the street. So much fun.

 

Here's a few pics of my motard:




In the winter it look this...

 

That KTM is just beautiful man...

 

 

N2Bikes - How does the 2 stroke work out for you? Do you use it as a daily driver? I imagine the premix would inhibit long runs.

 

I just converted it havent had time to dd with it. I plan on just carrying a bottle of premix enough for a tank full of gas and mix
