I got Carrozzeria rims on there... Go to EastCoastWheels.com in the supermotard section...scroll down and look at complete wheels. They're in there. Yeah, I think the forged aluminum wheels make that **** pop off way better...

No doubt. The rim has to be compatable with the hub. I just dont feel like spending 500 extra a wheel for talons.

They look good but there weak. Nothing is stronger than a spoked rim.

I wish they would make a spoked rim for my Honda F4i front rim.

We're talkin bout a 17 inch wheel here... Forged aluminum should be plenty strong for what we're doing... And spoked rims are lighter... If they are lighter and stronger, then why don't they use em in road racing? Just a question, I only know about wheels in the context of roadracing and autocrossing CARS...I know nothing about motorcycle wheels, so tell me whassup. I did figure that forged aluminum should be plenty strong though...?

Re: Which supermoto besides crf450?

I'd recommend a bike that comes stock with a lighting system and a wide ratio transmission...WR450, CRF450X, KTM 450 or 525 EXE. I ride the bike below, an '04 YZ450F with the 4 speed transmission. It's really tough to gear it right. If I gear it tall, I can hang with my buddies on sportbikes on the backroads but have a tough time with slow wheelies. If I gear it low, I can do slow wheelies but can't hardly do 60 MPH with revving the **** out of it. If I was strictly stunting, I'd need a monster sprocket on the rear to slow this thing down. A bike with a wide ratio trans will give you the best of both worlds.

Regardless, this thing is a riot to ride and the looks you get are...PRICELESS

Re: Which supermoto besides crf450?

im about to sell my dirt50 for a motard ...

if im going for stunt / the casual beat the streets can i roll with a 250 do the trick?

a 400+ would be nice , but i can hook up a 250 for the price of a stock 450

or maybe i should just get the slow drz and its already hooked up

Re: Which supermoto besides crf450?

250's are good but if you want to race a 450 will eat you on a straight away. But they are a ton O fun to rip around town. But a 450 or bigger just wheelies like no tomorrow and are ***** out fast.

Re: Which supermoto besides crf450?

450 for sure its the way to go!!!just joking because i got one,its true they take some work,but its easy to do ,check the valves here and there a change the oil (motor,trans) and your good.i beat the **** out of mine and it runs perfect.but if you want something for the streets get a ktm lc4,625 ,640, the motor are stronger that drz s .thats my 2cents.

Re: Which supermoto besides crf450?

mekrew - 150 is for girls. Get a full size bike. The CRF150 is like the Katana or GS500 of the Sportbike world. The CRF250 is pretty bad as far as reliability goes. Honda recommends doing a top end every 15 hrs. No one does, but atleast the other manufactures aren't suggesting numbers like that. Naw mean?

Yeah, I feel you there. Thats why I sold the stuntbike for the motard! Got about $575 for rims/spokes and need two hubs roughly another $175. Should be together soon. Unfortunately I will still need a 320mm and gears.

Damn motorcycles keep my bank account empty! Clutches, tires, wheels, sprockets, plastics, cages, handbrakes, F***.. its ENDLESS!
