omgshesaboy Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 I want to build a super moto.. need to start saving though. When we went riding last weekend the one kid had one and it was awesome. I think it would be fun to ride at school. Is there anyone here that has one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zerocrash Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 I wish...If you're gonna do it, buy a CRF450X, the transformation will be much easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zerocrash Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 what is the difference between the R and the X.. I havent done much research yet but I am looking at everything I need to getThe X has lights, electric start, and a battery. Otherwise you gotta worry about a stator and all kinds of crap. You can drop the extra weight from the X to make it an R and it you're life will be much easier (and cheaper) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4DAIVI PAI2K5 Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 both james and i have R's (his was the red one mine was the white)only reason i have and R is cuz i couldnt find an X, or a KTM!!! if u guys come down again u can ride it, and after u do u'll def. want one!cuz they are so damn fun!!! ill sell u mine if u find me a ktm 525 to buy!to change mine over i've bought warp 9 wheels - $860conti street tires - $260ktm head light - $100trail tech stator/flywheel - $ 150 or 200 i cant rememberkawi zx6r tail light - freebie (then i ripped it off on accident when i changed it back to moto one weekend)plates are like 28 bucks or 38 (same as street bike)insurance is 23 bucks a month for the highest full coverage i could get... (675 is 150 for full, but low coverage, just a reference in my insurance prices)fun factor is a 15 on a scale of 1-10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zerocrash Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 You did really well Adam. I'm looking at almost $1500 in just wheels, tires, sprockets, rotors, etc just to convert my WR... AND i have a damn hook up!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sturg Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 (edited) I was also looking at doing a convert into a motard. besides the 450x, klr650's what other bikes come with a headlight and or other streetable stuff? how well does the suspension work on the pavement?
