Dunno if anyone else out there has sympathy for their friends or not. I took the SM450 out with the guys tonight. One just bought an '08 R6, and the other an '07 K1200GT. They love their bikes, but when the bikes are all parked, the Husky is the one that gets the most questions and attention from passersby. Funny, we went to a show where the guy with the R6 was showing his '73 CB350 Cafe (he did an awesome job....it's beautiful), I parked next to him (cause I didn't wanna park in a field (we all know about that tooth pick of a kickstand) and the Husky was the bike that drew the most spectators. We live in Harleyville USA, so no awards.
It's even better to go to a track that really favors larger displacement sportbikes and start lapping everything on a 450.
I blew past some dude on a ninja tonight on a back road i know well on the 610. I met up with him about 10 minutes later when i stopped for a view. He was surprised to see a single cylinder bike but knew it was me. Nice dude with a well farkled bike. The SM610 rocks on rough back roads that make me cringe on my Superhawk.
We were riding a nice curvey section, and my buddy with the bimmer waved me by cause I gave him crap about being slow through the twisties on his yzf600r last time. I honestly thought someone crashed or broke down cause I had to wait that long for them at the other end. I love my paint mixer.
supermotos are so much fun to ride. I always get comments on mine .Plus they are great urban assault vehicles .
I feel bad for my drz buddies.Guess I will just have to go slower for my fellow supermoto buddies.Unless were racing then its every man for himself.
Here in the foothills a single cylinder MC is the way to go . There are so many tight and curvy roads with crests and drop-offs that get the blood pumping. This road is at the bottom of my driveway. My knobbies get a little upset at :45. http://www.youtube.com/user/lovethecupcake1?feature=mhee#p/u/23/UTUbZBHczjs
Yelp that will definitely wear the tires fast. Like how you can just jump on back roads like that from your home base.I am in the city so i always have to drive a bit to get to those kind of spots.canyon riding is sweet.How do these things do at higher altitude. I know my last bike would get pretty choppy on the throttle at really high altitude.Is that the gopro cam. I am gonna get some dirt tires for mine so i can do a little more canyon(dirt) riding but am still amazed what i can do in the mountains with a good set of pilot powers. Me and my buddy drive the supermotos through desert sand and the mountain hills all the time. A little rough at first but love to drift through the sand.
