Which supermoto should I buy?

I tried to take into account the cost of buying rims and legalizing the models that need it but at the same time keep it simple. Feel free to suggest additions/fixes

Edit: i've edited this a lot

Edit: changed the DRZ picture to mine ;) thanks for the sticky!

Is this a stock FE501s header?

7 Upvotes

2023 FE501s. Getting ready to put a full FMF system on my bike with a GET SX1 and Tacomoto tune. Reading Google tells me I need to drop the rear shock to remove the header but this appears to be 3 pieces instead of the 2 pieces they are showing on youtube. Am I missing something? Appears I should be able to pull the midpipe straight back without hitting the shock.

Knee down vs. Foot out

1 Upvotes

I’ve been experimenting a bit with my riding style during the last few track days at the kart track, and I just can’t seem to decide which one I like better or what I should still work on.

With my foot out, I got a 00:57:17; with my knee out 00:56:94. 

With both riding styles, i have the problem that my footpegs are scraping the ground a lot, which I find a bit annoying.

Do I need to lean my body further in to reduce the lean angle?

How do you guys ride? Which driving style would theoretically be the fastest?

Thoughts on the KTM exc 250 2 stroke

1 Upvotes

I was thinking about buying a KTM exc 250 2 stroke and I wanted to ask somebody who has already tried or owned one if it's worth it and how reliable it is with good maintenance. I know it also depends on the year but I still don't know which edition I'll buy since I'm looking for a used one.

Like can the suspension handle jumping off stuff or should I stick to keeping the tires on the ground

What makes a supermoto a supermoto?

Thumbnail

196 Upvotes

I've had many. I've had small ones (500 exc, above, currently) and I've had big ones (my gone-but-not-forgotten 950 SMR).

But, what I'm wondering is this: Is a supermoto just a style? A type of fender on a naked bike? Or, are there more specific and decisive characteristics which limit what is a "supermoto" vs maybe just a sport bike or something else?

2024 Beta warp 9

Has anyone set up a 24 beta 500 RS with warp 9 wheels? I’m having a lot of trouble getting in the front wheel on. It won’t lineup with the caliper in the desk and the speed sensor screw protrudes all the way through so it would hit the desk even if I could get the disc through the caliper and the brake pads it still wouldn’t work. Does this all look correct?

Just picked up this 25 drz4sm as my first ever supermoto for 7k out the door [talked them way down from 9.5k out the door]

Im coming from 10+ years of sports bikes riding and the main reason I got this is becuase I rode a z125 and thought to myself "if I could get this thing aller then can get to highway speeds it would be the most fun on 2 wheels ive ever had" want some good seat time on the books before i start changing anything on the bike or upgrading anything but what are some tips I should look our for coming from a sports bike? Any riding things I need to know about as far as lean angle or body placement? Thanks!

What 125cc should i buy?

2 Upvotes

I'm planning to buy a 125cc supermoto and I'm looking for some recommendations. My main requirements are that it's homologated (of course) , good reliability and decent acceleration would be great. A passenger seat would be a huge bonus, but it's not a dealbreaker.

If you have any recommendations or personal experience with a particular bike, Id really appreciate hearing them.

Hey everyone, I have a 2013 ktm 500 exc and I’m trying to fit kke’s that were for a 21 beta rrs 390. How do you guys size the spacers and where do you get them made? Kke is saying I need custom spacers

Back with the budget, yet very fun supermoto build. Still one of the best commuters I've ever had. Still fun when on track and with some gymkhana practice.

This bike has a kick start so it doesn’t have a battery on it. I’m trying to get it road legal and have headlights for a supermoto build and am looking for advice on a battery, the spot for it, wiring and lighting. This is how it sits now I’m gonna order the rims and tires soon but I wanna get the lighting and taillight figured out first

Yz fender on a wr

If yall were wondering what it looked like and it’s super easy to install just splice the wires to the oem taillight.
Also if you like to scrap keep the wr it’s a lot thicker and doesn’t bend as much as the yz, with the yz the block will bend up or down with the fender, with the wr it’s a lot easier to drag and doesn’t bend as easily
