Moderator Cynic Posted September 17, 2009 Moderator Share Posted September 17, 2009 Ride the bike you have and get used to it, it will feel like a rocket to start with after the 50. Is it worth supermotoing (is that a word?) i wouldnt bother. Replacing wheels and tyres alone is going to knock you for several hundred quid, then add the cost of the modifications/fitting required and THEN dont forget your insurance company will need to know. It may be a boring opinion but i would get my licence out of the way if i were you and then either buy a supermoto style bike, OR build a proper one from a YZ500 (wimps need not apply). Otherwise you will have spent out on all the looks but not the horsepower to back it up. And as a result you will be floging it for peanuts as a bitsa to buy something with a bit of go in it.

Moderator Cynic Posted October 14, 2009 Moderator Share Posted October 14, 2009 just for curiosity whats all this cost ? Oh don't encourage it, your 350 will be lucky to crack 125 with you flat on the tank,not at all if its a naked one. My tdr will only see it on the dial. But a 125 trailee can do it don't be soft man. 125 GP bikes only get to around 130-135. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
