The Supermotard Thread

I get away with just changing damping settings front and rear, but I'm not track riding. Trails and dirt with the 21/18 and street and twisties with the 17's. I use the stock settings for the TE630 for the dirt which has all the compression diaper out and just a little rebound damping in the rear. For the street I use more rebound damping front and rear as well as turning up the slow speed compression in the rear significantly and adding some high speed too. I use the Same springs and preload.

Funny, I somehow stumbled on this picture last night. I miss that DRZ, the roads, and the company. Good times... (I'm the Stumpy he's talking about in that picture, btw)

Is that looking over lake jocassee and Keowee? I rode those roads about two weeks ago!

Here's mini and mega tard

A little rough but runs its nuts off , but cosmetics need help , along with some other things and a Good 17in wheelset .

Any help or advice is greatly appreciated in advance . Now , WTF do I need to do ???

I think that's the overlook on HWY 107 but that has been a while...

I made one of the few Honda CRF250L into a Super Motard though I admit not a lot of "Super" when talking about a 25 hp bike. I love this bike though. With the big rubber, it's MUCH more stable in all conditions, stopping, highway in cross winds, rain.

Here is mine, We have a love hate relationship, any bike with 3 oil filters is going to give you problems, but mostly we are friends

I don't think multiple oil filters/screens is anything new. Do all the filters need to be serviced each time the oil is changed?

Gotta love the low tech simplicity of my DR650 though. One filter, one drain plug. No hate...all love.

here's one of mine, I just think of the maintenance as "foreplay"

And since I posted a pic with one too many cylinders, here's my other 'tard

Suhweet

Haha, the 650 was originally a TN bike.

I've been an inmate since '09 and just now ran across this thread.
Some really cool bikes here so I thought I'd pop a pic of mine in here. '01 XR650R/SM

Nice bike for sure. The Honda's always had supermotard potential because of their good looks. Although my KTM isn't too bad either. The Husqvarna Nuda was one evil looking piece though. I nearly had one last year, just couldnt get the seller to see it happening at the price i was offering

Thanks, and obviously I have to agree.
To me, one of the hardest mods was finding a front fender that is less gargantuan than even a cut back stock one, that also matches in style and color. There are so many "Supermoto" fenders out there, but very few match the style of the XR fender. The one on my bike is off a CRF150, part # 61100-KPS-900ZA FENDER, FR. *R134* Fighting Red

There is a KTM dealer in Germany who keeps the Maico brand alive: http://www.ktm-koestler.de/en/maico-bikes/maico-shop/maico-models-2016.html

Anyone interested in badass two stroke supermoto?



101 kg, 685 cc 2-stroke! They were even road legal when sold until 2015...

I miss Maico

This video has me wanting this Husky 701 ... only money right ?

Very nice looking street legal Supermoto...

What could go wrong...Yikes

That looks like death .
