Super Motard pros are incredible, getting the hole shot on a dirt start and continuing to go all out on a track that's 60% dirt at a ridiculous pace on street tires is enough said.

You would be surprised on how much traction slicks get on the dirt.

Only 3ish weeks away from the next open supermoto practice at Raceway Park followed by race #3 of the ESMRA series.

Only $75 for the practice.

Oh yeah, very nice ride.

If awesome means checking valves every 3000 miles and replacing your connecting rod (not a typo) every 6250 miles....also not a typo...well then this is your machine.

I agree, but it is no sport tourer. 6250 miles would be a lot for a bike like that.

I know you won't be riding 500+ miles a day on a bike like this but I have a hard time classifying a connecting rod a is a wear part.
