Just had my first go on a super moto(road legal moto-x) 2002 Honda crf 450, and it was soooo much fun left me shakey. Thing just wants to wheelie, 3rd gear no clutch and up she comes awsome.

Any super moto owners on here looking to sell, whats insurance like on them?

 

a supermoto is something i hanker after also! i have a gixxer 750 and im gagging to learn to wheelie. I've tried on a moto X and its ace fun. I think a super moto would be even better and rd legal

 

My mate has sold it, but he left it in my garage and It started calling to me so I thought ok just a go round the block.

They wheelie so well, its just straight up I could'nt belive it. Not even crackin the throttle either.

Lambchop do it mate, proper fun.

 

pics in a mo.

 

Always wanted one, but never got round to having one, if I did have one, I would have to ride it with no plates as my license wouldnt last 5 minutes otherwise

 

Would love one of these one day

 

insurance cant be that bad my little brother had a crf450 (05plater)he now has a 540 ktm supermoto brand new,my mate is matt winstanley he races for ktm in the world champs and is currently 3rd in the big bikes (s1),they are great fun!!!

 

lol join the no plate crew thats how we roll

 

I dont think Ill ever have a plate on a fast or fun bike ever again TBH, sooner take my chances doing a runner than in court

Anyway, even if you do get caught with no plate, its only a VDR not any points or anything.

 

whats a vdr?

 

The we beast I was talking about.

 

I have a KTM 640 supermoto, its the prestidge model with twin Racefit titanium pipes. I sold my CBR 600 RR to buy it and it was the best thing I ever did, will post some pics when I get home from work.

 

Not had a go on a true super moto, but used to have a YZF125 crosser that was ballistic, had that on the road a couple of times and it was naughty to say the least!! Had run it briefly on road tires from a friends bike and it was just an animal!!

Would love a 4 stroke 250 on the road or something similar!!

 

awesome bikes but need Marzoochi forks on them

 

Vehicle Defect Retification form.

If your bike has no plate, you just say it must have fallen off or been nicked and you hadnt noticed and they give you a VDR and you have to get one fitted and get it stamped at an MOT station.
So compared to speeding/ dangerous driving / racing / jumping off park benches etc and all the other things a super moto rider should be doing on and around the public highway, its no big deal

 

ive not been pulled yet for no plate but thats good to know regarding vdr

 

i have a ktm 660 smc, so much fun i took my zx12r off the road

 

 

Awesome bike Syd

I had a YZF 426F but I sold it after 2 weeks , there was no possible way I could have kept it and rode the way I did

Supermoto`s just make you ride like a clown because theyre such a laugh , wheelies happen everytime you have to pull away

 

i know i shouldnt but i used to ride around with a copie of a police number plate on me gixer 1000 and on me drz lol

if you want a supermoto you cant beat a ktm the new 530 is insane

my mate was one of the first people in this country to try a supermoto it was a cr500 i wanted after my first go and still think they are the most fun to be had on 2 wheels

 

super moto = super cool!

love watchin the racing, drifting bikes is crazy lol

tarmac changing to gravel half wa round a corner , proper cool

 

Its like rallycross for motorbikes, lol


lmao @ coppers number plate, legend!

 

Have you still got the blade mate?

 

they are brilliant fun, but no good as an only bike. would be my 4th or 5th bike if i had more space

 

Why do you know some one who can get them.lol

 

the best bit is i had it on the drz and was chased got back home and my cousin rang me and told me he heard the chase on a scanner and the copper on the bike said im chassing a bike through eston hills and gave the reg and the opperator said you cant be its one of our focus,s and its in the car park outside

i had an r1 with a plate of a burger van to new meaning to fast food

 

we used to call it urban enduro we used to race round all the cycle routs through cleveland through all the tunnels and bridges and stir casses lol it was so much fun on a night cos its all flood lit

 

My brother is thinking of selling his CCM 604e if you're interested..

 

Them were the days used to have mine on all the time. Saved are arses
a few times.lol

 

I've got a Husaberg 650, haven't been on it in months though . I got it after reading the reports of them being lairy and prefering the look, 'crosser with slicks', as opposed to some of the supermoto's which are heavier than the average superbike. Looks like the one in the link.

Its far too loud and generally far to easy a ride and get upto mischief.... highly recommended.

I'd consider selling for the right price.

 

i was offered an fe 650 in a deal but could i fuck start it so didnt bother

does your electric start actualy start it

 

Just got in from footy.
The electric start isn't to be used from cold. The bikes are kickstart only. The 'Restarter' is only supposed to be for stalls or quick stops while the engine is still warm. Mine didn't come with the starter on as they are waste of time. Bit tricky to kick but once you've felt the recoil a few times that just misses your shin you quickly learn.

 

Hi all,

I had a ktm lc 640, 04, model but 06 reg, quick for what it was, it would do a ton no problem and quite stable at that speed, but was to heavy for what i wanted ie power wheelie's, i had ridden a mates 426 enduro yam, and that was more like it, but the ktm looks so good, good handling, lots of vibration lol you have to ride them like you stole it, recently had a go on a husqvarna SM510, what a bit of kit does everything you want with bags of torque, very good handling setup goes and stops very well , big brakes, but to be fair you need a second bike as you seem to get carried away when your on a supermoto and its hard to be sensible, i have had all sorts of bikes from 50's to zx 900r, and you need to weigh up exactly what you need the bike for, the suzuki drz400 is more of a supermoto you can use everyday with good reliability, but not the same fun factor as say a sm 510 husqvarna which is a true supermoto,

Regards Dave R.

 

Hahaha its all coming back now , the YZF was a proper bastard to kick with its decompression lever !
and yeah missed the kick and caught the shins many a time

But truely if your willing to risk your license everytime you ride , then quite simply there is no better fun to be had on 2 wheels

My only real gripe about mine was how much fuel it would hold ie , not a fookin lot

I think £3 - 4 filled it up lol

 

Which one mate ? The Tiger or 1000RR

 

They take 20 quid these days on average mate

































But the tank size hasnt changed

 

did you buy it off a bloke called Jesse Mach?

 

 

Pmsl @ street hawk.

 

ah... theres my mate Jesse mach I was talking about
