That KTM is the bomb!http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r...6/DSCN0845.jpg
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 thoughQuote:

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?Quote:

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.
Just waiting on wheels to get here Thursday:

Black frame looks especially awesome
Love the color scheme. Can't wait to see the pictures with the wheels on!Quote:

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