supermoto bikes

Supermoto bikes to me are very awesome because its a street legal dirtbike. You can go alot more places with these bikes because of how small and manuverable they are. Which could also mean you will prolly be tempted to get in trouble when your riding these. Also you dont always have to ride the bike on the road because all you would have to do is buy some dirt tires for it and just put them on. So its not hard to convert from a dirt bike to a street legal bike because all you need is a license plate, lights on the bike, and street tires. Thats what i am going to do to my bike when i get the money for it.

power of a 450!

the power of a 450 dirt bike is ridiculous, its almost stupid how much power they have now with all this new technology to build a motor the right way to get as much horsepower as you can.i ride a 450 now instead of a 250f and i love the power difference. you don't have to worry about not clearing a jump because all you have to do is twist the throttle and hold on. the only complaint i have about the 450 is how much heavier it is than the 250. on a 450 for me its hard to control the bike in air and in corners cause of the weight im not used to it that much so it can be difficult for me sometimes. but on the other hand the 450 is crazy fast and i love the adrenaline it gives when you pin the throttle everywhere.

whips

         













whips on a dirt seem like they would be very hard to do. there not really hat hard to do its more how comfortable you are on your bike and how well you have control of it in the air. i have tried it before and i can get the bike sideways but i cant really figure out how to get it to come back. they say it comes back back naturally but it didnt work for me. I think being a whip would be very easy to do once you get to know how the bike will work in the air because every bike will jump differently and u have to be used to that bike and make sure your suspension is set for you because if its not you can crash very easily.

muddy races





having a really wet and muddy track to race on can either be really fun on the bike or it can be really bad for the bike. that is how i blew up my 125 two stroke. the track was so muddy i was getting any traction and i just kept spinning the tires up the hill and it made the motor work to hard to where it got really hot and blew the piston in it.

But there is fun things about riding in the mud, especially when you ride with alot of friends because you can roost them with mud which thaqt really hurts. Roost is when you spray them with mud with your bike when they are behind you.

bore kits

bore kits are for more power. usually people will put bore kits in because theres not enough power for them or there to big for the bike so they just bore it out so they don't have to pay more money for a new bigger bike. bore kits do make a big difference because 250 can be bored out 280 or a 283, so that's putting another half of a motor on your bike. to me doing a bore kit is better then having to spend more money on a new bike.

supercross vs nationals

both supercross and national races are very interesting and fun to watch. supercross has a lot of action because the way the track is designed. it makes the riders ride close together so there will be bars hitting and better action. but i don't like supercross as much as i like nationals. nationals are so awesome to watch because the track has really big jumps and you can go a lot faster on the bike. and i think its more of a race than supercross because on a nationals track theres long straight aways with big jumps, whoops, and large rhythm sections.
