Re: Super Motard (Supermoto) ??
Regular maintenance on motards is all it takes, and from the ones i've seen, regualr maintenance is very quick, very easy, and quite cheap. Mine doesn't need servicing as often as I do it, but that's for my piece of mind. Guys I know, change the oil/filters on their Husabergs/CRFs/YZs every couple of hundred miles. But to be fair, those 'couple of hundred miles' are usually pretty harsh! :YEAH
The time you spend stunting far out weights the time you spend making sure they runs sweet.

I just bought my first real supermoto about a month ago (XR650R)...I tell you what...it is the most fun I've had on a bike yet..no ****. You can't quite do all the tricks like on a sportbike (slow stuff mainly) but it is fun man. I'm working on the circles right now :YEAH Last video we made shows some action on it. Here's a link:

If someone rode the 650 that really knew what the hell they were doing they could probably break some records.

Gonna try man. I'm was getting real comfortable on the bike. Now I gotta pull the motor and replace the output shaft bearing and seal. Had the chain adjusted too damn tight and wore it out

Re: Super Motard (Supermoto) ??
Sorry, no time to go through all the posts and see what else has been said... The one and only place to start looking for motard is www.supermotojunkie.com . they are rebuilding the site so it's lost most of it's content, but not it's members... It's to motard what stuntlife is to the freestyle scence. It's west coast based ( that's where 90% of motard is happening right now)... It is THE place to start with motard questions. If you're socal based my friends at www.apexsupermoto.com and www.apexmoto.com do things just above cost.. www.thumpertalk.com has motard guys on it. www.supertt.com is for the west coast racing organization run by Don Canet.. www.svsupermoto.com is the vegas based racing organization... If you want to race supermoto dont get the factory street legal models, they are tame on power and are too heavy... It's like taking your Gixxer 1k and going against Mladin's Yosh prepped superbike... I got a million other links but not on this computer... There should be enough here to get people started.. www.cycleforums has a motard section but it's not as active. supermotojunkie has people from Europe and Austrailia as well as the US, New Zeland, etc..

Re: Super Motard (Supermoto) ??
You can make anybike street legal here, you cant sell any 2 strokes street legal though. And a RMX Had a better stator so it could run lights so your gonna have to get a better one for your rm.
