A supermoto ride

if i ever get a motorcycle, it'll be a supermoto bike. i think that with my background with dirtbikes it'll be an easier transition and way more familiar. do you need a motorcycle license to ride sumos on the street?

 

Yes.

I tell anyone who asks that a sumo is like the day everything came together for you when you started to ride. You probably giggled like a school-girl. Well, ride a sumo and you'll always giggle like a school girl

 

Nice ride! You got that thing up to a solid 95mph at one point! Is it only the 250, or have your done bore/stroke/porting, etc?
I've been wanting one of those new Yamahas for a while now... or I might just go all out and get a KTM when the time comes and I've got the money. Either way, nice bike and nice ride!

 

No work, other than simple bolt on's and a power commander V. That 95mph was downhill @ WOT. Flat road @ WOT in 6th dont expect more than 85mph. Great little bike tho, lots of fun, very forgiving, and very light and nimble. I can toss this bike around like an empty soda can. Dont get me wrong...I LOVE this bike...BUT if I was to buy a supermoto again I would most definitely be looking at KTM.

 

I love the aprilia dorsoduro

 

Any of you supermoto guys have experience with the Ducati Hypermoto? Looks sick but wondering if it's worth the price tag.

 

When i was home last, i went to a ducati dealership. Rode the Hyper first then he brought out the Aprilia Dorsoduro, and the Ducati pulled harder but i loved how the Aprilia handled. Ill be picking one up in Feb.

 

Oh yea, OP thats looks like a fun ride. I love the heck out of my Gopro Hero. I started a thread a few months ago and some people posted up some vids in it. Where was that at?

 

What's the cost run for one of these? They're beautiful.

 

The 2010's are 9.5k they are coming out with a 1000/1200 i cant remember in 2011 and those will probably be alil more pricey. Yea i cannot wait to pick mine up already got the deposit down and everything... stupid Iraq

 

Nice...I'm jealous! Well a 750 would certainly be plenty for me. Thanks for your service, be safe!

 

Heres my Drz man this thing is a blast

 

Ahhh those are some nice bikes, I just love how the Supermotos look. Still love my dirtbikes tho
