A little somthing different.

If you guys don't know what a supermoto is, it's a racing dirt bike that has different wheels and suspension.

Here is a pic of mine before the rebuild:

Well last trip out I messed up my steering head bearings. This is what happens when you do too many wheelies:

If I ever get fed up with being married, I'll just try a little motard project like that.

It's a 450cc. It has a small gas tank so not really made for crusing. But with the gearing I run, I can do 70 on the interstate easy. There is no really comfortable speed because it's a race bike, that's street legal.

Top speed is 115ish. It's made for curves. But I can do 100mph with my knee on the deck.

I raced moto and flat/short track when I was a kid MX and YZ days.

SuperMoto was on and off road back in the day? Have not seen it is years. Pitster would not have the power of that thing.

If I am right, were do you race. Any videos?

Working on this for a good friend. Have a second coming after this one is done. It is for sale once carb is set.
New carb, was not setup. It is fun as heck to ride. Bad pics, dark and crammed in a hole.

I had a 160cc pitster from Oleg once. Was fast little thing. Ripped the valve stem in the grass in the first 20 minutes on the first ride. User Chadrock working on it and picture before plastics. Note size of motor. Oleg was a bit of an over-achiever.

Supermotos are awesome! Nice bikes.

I make trips up to the dragon every now and then. Definitely a fun road.

I've got an old 2001 yz426. The thing won't stop running. Still starts second kick every time cold. One kick warm, and valve tolerances haven't moved since I got it.

I love my WR. YZ's are good for dirt, but suck for street. I rode a 06 YZ450 supermoto last week. That thing is not made for the streets. It was too temperamental.

I have bout a set of dirt wheels for really cheap, that I am going to steal the hubs off of.

All I need now is spokes, rims, and a front brake caliper. And I'll be riding again.

Tempramental in a motor or suspension sense? I know the ignition timing is backed off on WR's making them a little less crude. But the yz's are fun as can be offload :) probably a bit much on pavement though

Just put 2006 dual cartridge forks on mine, made a world of difference for like $100.

I am talking about motor.

My suspension is Ohlins TTX rear shock and RXF Factory forks. Valved for supermoto. Way more stiffer than off road setup.

If you ever want to get your suspension set for your weight and riding style, contact David@fastbikeindustries.com

Tell him 225 sent you.

Hubs, spokes, rims- you're building wheels from scratch? Years back I built a set of wheels for my road bike (that is to say, bicycle)- really gives you a feel for the art and science of wheels. Is it common for motorcyclists to build wheels, or is it a matter of really being into it?

Yes, I am building them from scratch. You can buy them built, and most guys don't do their own wheels.

But they have to be special built no matter what. The rear rim for supermoto wheels is 5" wide, plus a 160mm wide tire. Tp prevent chain rub, the offset of the rear rim has to be custom set, being put in such a narrow swing arm. So I do them myself. It's not hard, just VERY time consuming.

A supermoto is a very un-natural motorcycle. It basically breaks every rule on building motorcycles. They aren't very fast as far as top speed goes, but carry more corner speed than a 160hp sport bike.

Let's say a sport bike can only take a certain curve at 50mph, I can take the same corner wide open in 5th, doing 90mph.

Looking nice neddu I really like your IL62 mod too

Too bad the SCS Tu-134 is not working for me, the trim and the crew/gauge sounds just dont want to work
