sorry but its not a supermoto. 5.9inches of suspension travel doesnt even qualify and itll never fit big wheels (21/18) and its ridiculous heavy by comparison (480lbs?). my supermoto tops out at 104 anyways, weighs 320lbs (which is heavy but its more highway friendly than a true mx conversion ~250lbs).

not trying to rain on a parade, its just not what it is. its a road bike thats meant to go down some gravel roads. ride a real converted bike and youll understand why its not the same.

"supermoto" gets tossed around too much. /endrant

 

We need a sound clip. I am interested to hear the Werkes sounds compared to the Termi setup on my Monster 1100.

Edit: I should have scrolled to the next page. I see the clip. The Werkes is definitely a lot more tame than the Termi with baffle removed.

 

Smaller wheels are better anyways. It allows for more tire. Dont think your "supermoto" can fit a 180/55/17 on the back. Its now under 400lbs. Also, did i say it was a supermoto? No. But now im going to do so every time

 

Yea its definitely tame. But i dont care. At least i dont sound like a vacuum anymore.

 

technically you did

never need a tire that wide for a supermoto so im not sure why youre even bringing that up, my bike puts power down fine with a 160 and has almost the same output with a tune.

i typo-ed the 480 meant 380

 

Lol

I think a race is the only way to settle this

 

FTR750 hill climber, pretty badass

I had the volume cranked for that one, sounds awesome

 

That thing is sweet! I want one of those 2 stroke street bikes so bad. A guy that is local to me is selling a 2001 Aprilia RS-50 that is bored to 80cc. It has relatively low miles, but he is asking $2,775 for it. Seems a bit high for what it is.

 

That thing is freaking rad but admittedly I have a thing for tiny bikes... I had a two stroke Aprilia rally 50 scooter with a can and no limiters that was the bees knees, I regret selling it so much.

 

When someone says RAD....

 

that movie was so bad..

 

We had to ask, Umm what exactly is a Scrambler? Zemla explained it this way, “A Scrambler is a unique hybrid of asphalt and dirt initiated in the 60’s and 70’s to address a market that was hacking up their street bikes to tolerate fire road bombing. The more popular iterations came with a Honda or BSA badge and in recent years this style has been resurrected by the folks at Triumph.

Good read right there. I think the Ducati scrambler is the perfect urban explorer. I want a supermoto to be a hooligan and jump drainage ditches and stairsets
