supermoto what's it all about ?
« on: November 21, 2008, 10:57:04 PM »

is it for people who are scared off powerful road bikes and don't have the balls to try off road ?

or is it a sensible option?


personally I like the looks but can't see me on one ever..........

here's Apilia's offering DORSODURO 750

You've got to ride one to understand.... I've had a couple and they're a right laugh to ride!!! They corner so well it's unreal and on decent tyres, on a cold, wet winter morning, getting the rear out sideways coming out the corners is a scream. They're not to be ridden sanely - they bring out the devil in you  :headbang:

 :iamwithstupid:  Bang on Saffie.... Winter is where they are best really.... get decent tyres....Racing wets even and have a ball.....And if you bin it....No damage!!! lol Win win all the way.... They will not keep your license safe..... More likely to lose it with a Moto as they bring out the hooligan in you...... lol.... Wheelies, back end out, pegs on floor..... lol...A right laugh. And as they are cheaper...you do not worry about an off or a ding......Which then lets you ride like a looney.....LMAO... I love the time i have on mine..... :shock:

My old KTM 525 used to scare the shit outta me more often than my 10R did - that thing was a proper animal and was in no way easy to ride !!

Feckin good fun though and brought out the looney in you EVERY time  :lol:
