dlnoss Posted August 26, 2004 Author Report Posted August 26, 2004 Suzuki calls it a dual-sport I wouldn't want to ride it on trails, maybe good fire roads Quote
Cotton eyed Joe Posted August 26, 2004 Report Posted August 26, 2004 Suzuki calls it a dual-sport I wouldn't want to ride it on trails, maybe good fire roads Did...they....LOOK AT THE TIRES ON IT BEFORE THEY CLAIMED IT DUAL SPORT??? Those still look like a street tire to me. I guess I could put knobbies on an R1.... Quote
dlnoss Posted August 26, 2004 Author Report Posted August 26, 2004 I have to ride a couple miles of loose gravel to get to the blacktop. That's enough 'dual sporting' for me on this bike. Stan, there's an idea....Maybe a MX and Freestyle competition for sportbikes in the next x-games. Quote

Hey, maybe you saw this this summer....they had CR-250's n shit racing on both pavement and dirt...the pavement was like a grand prix course with turns and straight aways, then they would break to almost full on MX!!! with doubles and table tops, and the tires they used were nothing like any tire I've ever seen. They called it Super Cross I think...it was cool as hell seeing these bikes on pavement. Quote
broke Posted August 26, 2004 Report Posted August 26, 2004 Stan, I think it was Super Moto or Super Motard, something along those lines. It just didn't look right to me, but I watched it every time it was on. The big bore KTMs were ripping almost everthing up. Those motors would make an intereting swap into a quad. broke Quote
Big Blue Posted August 26, 2004 Report Posted August 26, 2004 Those are both great bikes. I looked at them but wanted to sit up a little more. (you know,,,I'm old) supposed to be really great bikes, if i remember correcty it has the same motor as the sv650, i bought a yamaha fz6 a couple of months ago and i already wish i would have bought the fz1 instead. you'll be itching to swictch before long.

dlnoss Posted August 26, 2004 Author Report Posted August 26, 2004 It's the same engine as the SV with a different cam profile for better low rpm torque. I'm trying to not think about other bikes yet. I rode the DL1000 and FJR. I liked the DL1000. The FJR was nice but uncomfortable and pretty spendy. I'm going to try to resist trading up until at least next spring. Quote

Now that I know its called Super Tard or whatever...I'm going to keep my eye out for it. Quote
dlnoss Posted August 26, 2004 Author Report Posted August 26, 2004 Yea, I'd like to see it. If anyone sees that it's going to be on TV, let me know. Quote

checkster Posted August 26, 2004 Report Posted August 26, 2004 I can't really sell heads for less than I do with the BHQ discount. Call or email me if you want to buy a head and I may be able to include some other item. How much is one of the red anodised with an HQ discount? Thanks Tom Quote
dlnoss Posted August 26, 2004 Author Report Posted August 26, 2004 A red anodized head with a set of domes is $247.50 + shipping with the BHQ discount. -David Quote
Screamin_Banshee Posted August 26, 2004 Report Posted August 26, 2004 Those are both great bikes. I looked at them but wanted to sit up a little more. (you know,,,I'm old) Yeah, that I can understand. But then again, im to young to care about comfort... I just wanna go fast. No really, most of the sport bikes fit me rather well. I also looked into some cruisers, but they are a little to big for me. Quote
