Pm veggie dave.Look up ktm, Huski, CCM, Vor,Vertamatie(sp?) also think aprilla has Vtwin one in the pipe line.Excel rims and Talon hubs make a good combo for a lil yamaha 450 to.

Re: Super Motard (Supermoto) ??

OK so here is my ideas

excell rims (do you really need the talon hubs? that **** is expensive)
Street type tires
fab a brake light cuz the rmx's already have head lights and tails
wider foot pegs
some type of mirrors
register it legally in oh for riding on the street
new graphix and seat cover
hand guards
chain

Hows that sound? anything im forgetting let me know guys

Re: Super Motard (Supermoto) ??

I know there are Dual Sport conversion that you could use. However, the RMX is setup differently from the RM cause it has a battery, ignition (keys), and some other stuff that make it legal/street ready. RMX's have a heavier flywheel so that the power isnt as pippey. Also, in the US I dont think you can make a two stroke street legal. But I'm sure there are ways around this, its been awhile since I dipped into the moto scene.

I wouldn't go that far. I've seen Honda NSR250s registered and on the street. Everyone was imported from Japan. Hell you can make most fiddy's street legal so I"d look into it.

Re: Super Motard (Supermoto) ??

HM Moto Motard 450F - HM Italy started out in 1988 converting Honda MX-ers over for enduro use (their 'CRE' range) today they do the same to brand new Hondas for Supermoto use. There are 125 & 250cc 2 strokes - plus a 450 4 stroke model in the range. Beautiful looking machines with the added bonus of Honda bullet proof build quality!

What'd you use for the spokes and where'd you get them? I'm gonna do the same thing to my TTR90.

CRFs make superb race 'motards, but they're somewhat fragile for road use. The best bikes to convert these days are Yamaha's WR/YZ and Honda's XR, with the Yams being the most powerful, lightest, best handling. Or you can buy a factory built machine instead

Re: Super Motard (Supermoto) ??

Fragile for road? I know the XR line is bullitproof, time tested they all are tanks! But what makes the CRF tax down when used on the road?
