Supermoto, poetry in motion

Whats up people.

After buying my drz, I have become hooked on the world of supermoto. Is it just me or are there any other enthusiasts on the forum that are new to it or even a seasoned veteran?

I just want to get more information on this great way of life, maybe some links to a few sites.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Cheers everybody and safe riding. Thumbs Up

Damn those things look the bollocks, I love the subtle styling on the WR. Is it a hard sport to learn or an expensive one?

I remember when I wanted to start racing road bikes but realised my apprentice wages couldn't cover the cost of a bike, tyres, fuel and track time hire. Crying or Very sad

Who cares though, supermoto looks like the most fun you can have below the ton. Thumbs Up

Yams was that the WR 400? Looks lovely mate. Are they expensive to buy and insure? Could see one as a 33bhp jobby maybe.

I'd love to do my KLR up as a supermoto, it looks damn nice don't you think?

I can't afford to do it at the moment though as I still owe loads on my bike Sad

I'd also love one of these too:

I think my ultimate supermoto, would have to be a TDR250 with a YPVS350 lump, and better suspension and tyres too!

I wouldnt mind making a DT400MX into a kind of old school supermoto, like some guy has done recently with an XT500, which looks bloody brilliant!

Till then i'll be working on my own DRZ beater, aka my KMX! Laughing
