Looks great. How does she handle?

Like a dream. I'm guessing i'd be faster on this than my RR around a technical track... Xtrig adjustable triple tree is on the way!

Awesome bike. I have a built 05 250r for the dirt. I wanna build a 450 super moto. Why did you go with the 250?

Never owned or rode a dirtbike before last summer. I work at a Honda shop so I can trade it out pretty easily Figured it was a good starter bike... The one time i've rode this thing, the power was incredible. It seriously is comparable to my CBR on the low end.

SUPER CLEAN.

Too clean to ride.

Only thing that would make it better: A 450 engine!

It took me long enough to get off the xr100 and move to the 250 haha. 450 for next year is in the plans!

List some mods for that sweet ride!

instead of trading bikes and moving to a 450, you should just swap a CR500 motor in that chasis. THEN, you would be having some serious fun.

Like this? :thumbsup:Service Honda Home of the CR500AF

More pics to come soon. X-trig triple clamp and slipper clutch are on the way. Graphics kit is waiting for me to install...

 

[IcedTEE89]

X-Trig Triple, Bazzaz Z-FI, and Hinson Slipper Clutch will be installed hopefully starting tonight!

 

[IcedTEE89]

Also, I will admit that I felt more stable and safe riding the supermoto full out then riding this CBR at half it's top. It made me an instant hooligan. If you want to feel like a kid again, then a supermoto is for you.

100% Truth!

 

[IcedTEE89]

I have told people that before and they mock me, but unless they have tried it they just don't get it. A supermoto's power delivery is crazy awesome fun. As I explain it, it is instant on and off power. It revs so fast it is insane. Unlike a sportbike (i.e. CBR) where there is a slight hesitation before the power kicks in because it has to get to the meat of his rev range (5k+), not so with a supermoto (aka dirtbike). It kicks in immediately so you better be prepared to hold on and do your best to keep that front wheel down.

I had mine geared a little too much (13T/44T), for street use it should be more like 15T/45T or 14T/42T, which comes out to the 3:1 ratio. But I will say it was a handful at the gearing on had it at and it sure made every, every single ride exciting. It made me pay attention at all times. No cruising on supermotos. They are meant to run.

I love watching the SuperRetards youtube videos. Man, I would be in so much trouble if I ran with those guys. LOL

Dang it...now I really, REALLY miss my supermoto. :-(

Spot on, Bob. I race in the FIM/AMA North America Supermoto Championship series and we just had a race in New Hampshire where we were hitting 110 mph on the back straight. There is NO feeling that compares to sliding into a hairpin, backing it in at 100+mph! Most fun thing i've ever done on two wheels... Don't get me wrong, 185 mph on the CBR is pretty exhilarating, but I still have more fun doing 65 mph on the 'tard!

 

[IcedTEE89]

I was geared 14/48 and was topped out for about 5 seconds btw... lol

 

[IcedTEE89]

This is embarrassing but somebody, pah-leaase tell me how to post a picture the right way!

 

[IcedTEE89]

Well, a broken ankle (American flag cast in the first picture), 4 fractured ribs, a dislocated shoulder, and a couple very minor concussions and the race season has come to an end. Here's some pictures of the season.

Got linked to this thread by cbr1000_repsol_wfo...

This is one sick bike. I have had a slight urge to convert something into a supermoto and this only convinces me more. I'd like mine to be street legal, however, so I'm thinking a 450X or 250X might be better since it was built with a headlight. Thinking that would allow me to keep the OEM stator, but I could be mistaken. Plus electric start and slightly less maintenance would not hurt. Any qualms with a carb'd machine?

I know you track this bike, but how is the 250 at highway speeds? 65-70mph. Do you think it could handle it for extended periods of time? Whatever I end up with I would like to be able to drive it on the highway for about an hour or more as I have buddies who are scattered about.

Anyways, props dude. Came out really nice.

She did fine running AROUND 110mph down Loudon's straightaway for a few seconds at a time Now that was some funky gearing... I'd say the R models are not made to be blasted down straightaways at redline. Your piston rings would be shot after a little while. I will say, riding a dr-z is much less interesting now after riding a bike made for the track. Just those few extra pounds really dampen the whole experience.
If you think the bike looks good now, wait till I get a chance to post some new pics I've got a 280 big bore stroker kit, Tokyo mods ECU, stage 2 cam, and a high compression piston waiting in boxes for this winter... Tokyomods says I'll be looking at about 53hp. Just about the same as a stock 450. Can't wait!

If you want to have the most fun you've ever had for a couple hundred bucks, do yourself a favor and snag a xr/crf 100. Order an extra front wheel for an xr80, bolt that thing on. Boom, you've got a mini supermoto with 16" wheels. Throw a set of BT-45s on that bitch and your good to go.

Probably selling this beauty tomorrow to pay for more race tires! ;(
