Just wondering do you always have to be really tall to ride a supermoto?
or is there any kind of supermoto built for shortass's? (5"5 size )

Doesn't matter how short you are, it's all about technique.
I've ridden my mate's KTM Duke no problems (5' 1", 28" inside leg), you just set off by having left foot down, arse slid over to the left, in gear. Then throw yourself up straight onto the pegs, kicking the side stand up with left foot as you do. Pin the throttle, and watch the sky!!!  ____________________ CBR125|||GSXR400|||CBR400|||CBR400|||CB250RS|||GSXR750|||CB250RS

Not really a supermoto,but the fmx650 has quite a low seat height.
You can change the dogbones/shocker-and drop the forks through the yolks slightly on most bike anyway if it still needs lowered a little. ____________________ DRZ-400sm |
