List of Super Motos.

[GearboxGeezer]

Hey guys, bit of a gay question but it would be really helpful for me.

Basicly Im looking for a Supermoto to buy, since I got some cash coming threw, I dont really know much about these bikes and the only ones I do know about seem to be pretty expensive 2nd hand.. or they dont look so pretty..

Anyway, can you list some makes and models of which you think are pretty good super motos? So I can look em up at Biketrader.

Thanks guys

Proper 'supermotos' are mostly converted motorcross bikes.

If you want more of the 'commutermoto' variety (ie more reliable, heavier, slower) then it's going to depend a lot on what you want to do with it.

What's the intended use?

Oh and generally supermotos are expensive. If you want cheap, there are plenty of other styles out there.

I want somthing with pretty good accelaration, good for wheelieing and fucking about with, And reasonabley reliable, I can do maintanence work, but im not looking for another 125... I got my rs for that..

Oh and What do you do to convert a motocross bike to a Supermoto, just change the tyres?

ccms are good strong cheap bikes and very cheap to tune
look in link in my siggy at my ccm somthing like that 2000 modle your looking at about £1500
bit heavy for compition use but still great fun on the roads slow as standard restricted to 33bhp through the exhaust as standard but new race can takes it up to 47bhp
spend a couple of hundren on head work your looking over 50bhp
you can keep going right up to 75bhp same as the compition ccms
but that costs
sevice intervals are alot further apart than all the other motards too

mad, where do u live, what area?

And have you done a 0-60 test on your bike? what abouts does it do? And top end?

[mad4it028]

i live in peterborough (cambridgeshire)
0-60 no idea but wheelies off the throttle in 1st 2nd and 3rd will clutch up in 4th
top speed 120mph on a trailtech speedo which is properly set up
but motards arnt about top speeds there about showing off and embarrising sports bikes through the twistys

my bike isnt 4 sale if thats what your getting at with where i live?

No, I was just wondering, since bikes up north seem to sell alot cheaper than down here.

vibes are real bad on the ktbooooms and servicing alot more often
my last bike was a btboooom lc4[/quote]

mate 520's and 525's are nothing like an lc4, the lc4 is slow, heavy and yes REALLY vibey, the 520 is light, quick and has no where near the vibes, lc4 is a comuter not a quick motard as for servicing mine is no ore than any other DECENT motard around. servicing is more frequent but most motards only take around a litre of oil anyhows so its cheap..
