| Post subject: | Super Motard Bikes |
Never knew that these bikes had specific conditions for riding: "The bike is made to be full throttle and sideways the entire time you ride it" http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2007-apr ... 2317ae59ec Saw a KTM Super M leaving the hood last week. The rider had knee pads / shin guards over his jeans. Very odd in my sleeping little neighborhood. So until I make friends, what's it like to ride these bikes? If the H1 and H2 are meant to be up-right, standard,naked, hooligan bikes with strong acceleration and the ability to do some knee dragging, is the Super M the 2000 version of triple attitude wise? Am also assuming that they are not good road bikes for distance. |

It's not an arm jerking 650 or anything but it's an abolute hoot to ride. They are a blast through the Gap. Distance is relative....I can ride mine all day but I would't take it across country.

I used to ride a XT500 on the street in the summer and ice race it in the winter when I was a teenager... So maybe I'm a bit biased but I for one would love to build a 500 2 stroke motard.

Unless you have a very strong will for constraint, you will lose your license very fast on a motard. That is why I keep the knobbies on my dirtbike. Case in point http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYu7DQn5vAI (cation for language) |
