    An 07 Yamaha for 3.5k is better than an 11 Honda for 4k?

    Honda has Excel wheels with Talon hubs. Those are roughly $1300 wheels.

    I would. going to look at getting one next year like early spring/late winter. same bike probably. but maybe a 450 ktm. I want a supermoto for my first street legal bike.


    i would not pay more than 3k, chain does look a bit loose, but pretty easy to tighten it up.

    Personally id take this bike (+1 for fuel injection) over the 07 yamaha. You will get people on here or anywhere that have there preferences on bikes and dislike other brands but for the most part now a days they are all pretty reliable. Hondas and Yamaha's top my list while some other people might have other preference. Go test ride the bikes and see how they feel to you. One might be more comfortable to ride for you.

    How hard is it to street legal a bike in Florida? I know here in Ca its pretty impossible to street legal a crf450r.

    Edit: Not impossible but very hard. The 2007 is probably the way to go cuz its cheaper and already street legal

    How is it street legal if there are no turn signals and the license plate is under the fender covered in roost?
