    Was really looking for a 2016 125/150 but they were a little out of my price range. Found an awesome deal on this bike and I'm really just happy to have a bike again. Only ridden up and down the atreet so far but it is fast as hell lol. Can't wait to see how it stacks up to my old (italian) te250 and txc449! I spent a couple hours on a clapped out 98 ktm 200 and that's all my 2st experience, really excited :)

    Oh and supermoto wheels are on the way! :)

    250 or 300 it'll smoke his Italian te250 any day and depending on terrain would give the 449 a run as well. Nice score man

    Yes, even some supermoto riders don't care for valves lol. Actually quite a few in my series and a couple 125 guys are going to try the last round. I do hare scrambles and gp racing if it makes you feel better :)

    It's a 14 tc250. Know it would kill the old te250, just more the difference in riding a 2st. Just riding up and down the street I know it's stupid fast. Should be fun but a 150 is next seasons goal, don't tell my wufe but i plan to keep this one too lol

    Will definitely be a transition. But at the end of the day keep it pinned and it'll probably do everything you want it to.

    I want the same thing for mine, except gold wheels kinda similar to the old husky wheels. Not yellow gold

    Was thinking the same thing! Would be really cool! Toxic Moto Racing was awesome to deal with, he's a member here and runs the utah sm series. Gave me a whole class on wheels lol. In the end, these are the cheapest so that was all I cared about for now :)

    Would like to eventually get red graphics and a metal tank I can polish :)

    The stripes in the graphics and the gold wheels are absolutely incredible. I want mine to look similar to this at some but with some minor differences

    Finally rode it around the neighborhood. This is going to be a ton of fun! Still need to trim the fork guards and throw them back on. Hitting the track tomorrow morning, video to follow 20160918_112818.jpg

    Nice wheels. Are they comparable to Warp 9 price wise?

    About the same, these are 999 without the big rotor and adaptor. Warp 9 has a pretty long wait list from what I've heard. They say 2 weeks but they're quite a bit more backed up then that. Dubya was here in about a week

    Do you think you need a sumo front fender? I see RMATV has an Acerbis one but I'm skeptical on fitment on the 2014 models.

    I have to trim mine. They aren't wrap arounds anymore either just because I'm lazy and that was easier

    Oops sorry, read that again. Front fender doesn't hve the supermoto look so I'm trimming this one and buying new plastics. Don't think this one would be an issue it's a much smaller diameter wheel.

    Acerbis front fender worked great on my wr250x when I broke mine. It's universal if I remember right and required a little work but nothing big

    Well I put the dirt wheels back on for my first real ride today. Have to admit, the first half hour I felt like a made a mistake. Haven't ridden in about a year so that didn't help :)

    This thing is really fun! It is without a doubt a race bike and at times difficult to handle in the mountains today. Always cover the clutch because it will shoot out from under you quickly lol. Some really big differences coming from a 4st. May need a 150 as a second bike to balance this thing out lol
