cool bike, but time boom , with next to no warranty , i looked at one b4 WR and they would only stand behind it if it was restricted to below 50hp , and have three mates with them , starter , melting seat ,electrics ,etc have all gone on them , but not as bad as his husabom F650 that he had b4.Originally Posted by Hellraiser
would still like one though
Comfortably Different
I could comment more in depth about that statement, but you probably wont get it either...

Skill and practice? That rules me out, then.

Freddie Spencer and Mick Doohan could do a fair bit of that, not to mention many other riders, sliding a Sprotsbike is great fun, More often than not just for playing rather than speed, although the rear end often slides a little under heavy breaking
I've seen some video footage of myself on my GPX250 compression sliding at Taupo, leaving black lines into turn 1. Just mucking around, sliding more and more crossed up. I Crashed eventually on turn 5 while sliding in, video showed the rear end just getting waaay out and eventually i ended up doing a 180 before falling off while laughing hysterically.
One day i wanna grow up to be Just like Ruben Xaus (Pic 3)

Oh well thankyou! No bloody interest in motards but I thought I'd read it cause Totos a good kid. Thank you so much for putting yet another bike on my sodding wish list. No not one bike ,a whole ferkin gaggle of em.Just when you think you've got it sorted someone pops up full of enthusiasm and fun and spoils it for every one else. There's some big fans in here aint there.
Well you just enjoy yourselves,dont tell me will ya.I know you just did but I've bought a bathroom now,coulda syphoned of a few dollars eh.
The best taps you can buy or a motard? oh give me the taps please,so much fun,turning them on and off and on. sheesh. share people.
NOT INTERESTED! how much could I get one of them for then,please.
Ah yes isn't the power of suggestion a terrible thing. I've not been interested in retards before reading this - even though my mate has a new KTM990sm.
The trouble is I can see myself in my minds eye sliding thru corners with beautiful young supermarket checkout girls oohing & aahing at my flowing long hair swishing in the wind as my well endowed package swells with every wheelie exit from the hairpin...
Then I look for something else to curb my midlife crisis

I notice all those professional looking pictures of people sliding all don't have a foot out?
Having raced against them they do tend to be a bit slower though the corners, and I have heard people talking about unpredictable lines.
It's a bit of a bummer if you're on a slower bike to have them go slower through the corners, maybe get in your way, maybe not, then they blast past you on the straights. Such is racing though and I'm not gonna whine about it.

Supermoto - the thing about it (for me at least) is the larfs. Road riding, motard track days (especially the dirt section), green laning in the summer or winter and mx days - nowt like passing someone on knobblies when ya on road tyres(albeit slowish novices). Had a CCM R30 to start, progressed to a KTM625 but having both those engines explode then went with a more reliable Honda XR650 (which was sadly stolen last November). There is a danger of importing ridiculous amounts of bling from the US for the XR and managed to spend £2.8k in the end (including an electric start kit from Europe). I miss the old black beast but still got me WR so just change wheels when necessary.
Oh, other thing bout the tard is most 'offs' don't cost much to right.

Those with their foot on the peg will be road racing types,those with a foot out from an off road background.Real supermotard racing is on mixed surfaces,and all the riders will have their foot out - no point in having the foot out for a dirt corner and on the peg for a sealed corner,do them all the same.

Am a bit uncertain whether to go 2-stroke or 4-stroke... 4-stroke would be better for longer trips and on the flat boring bits that you have to travel in order to get to the fun twisty bits. I gather a motard would be quite ok on gravel as well...
What ccm, brands and models would people recommend? And I'm thinking a motard for the road here - not a high strung race bike that has a piston life of 20 hours or some such.
It is preferential to refrain from the utilisation of grandiose verbiage in the circumstance that your intellectualisation can be expressed using comparatively simplistic lexicological entities. (...such as the word fuck.)

yes, these bikes make you silly, tonight i got chased by security once again, and once again i did a 2nd gear balance point wheelie past their suzuki carry.
this bike is great for stoppies too!
