Show us yo ride!!
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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
