I really like that you are always preaching full gear. If everyone wore full gear always our insurance might be even cheaper.

as far as the "cops won't bother you" thing, I think it has more to do with the fact that you're in full gear with the visibility vest then the bike itself. I've seen cops pull guns on a supermoto or dual sport rider cus they didn't know it was street legal and thought it was some kid tearing up the street on a dirtbike.

#6 - light weight! flickable if needed under emergency handling on road (hope you never need that) Should be an advantage on surface street rides, could be a slight disadvantage at high speed, but that is not why you go this route

I cant stress enough how great a video is when talking about something and also including the clip with it. More success for you Sir.

True that on insurance. My husky sumo has full coverage insurance for about $900 a year (that's cheap here). An equivalent powered MT07 would run about $1300. A Supersport is $2700+ lol

So on point! I sold my bmw naked because I love my supermoto so much, I never rode it. I'm always on my WR. Cheap to own, super durable. You just can't beat it

The biggest issue with riding a super Moto off-road is the lack of grip whether it be on acceleration or braking. It’s a lot easier to lose the front end. Also you got to stand up and try to hit those logs perfectly straight with the front wheel otherwise it’s gonna wash out. In my opinion super Moto is the funnest thing you can do on two wheels, or one

I supermoto'd my old (2001) KLR650 many years ago and it became the perfect commuter/ripping around town bike--its like a simple scooter but has enough power to carry double, go down the freeway, and it handles like a sportbike on curvy roads. It can hit chuckholes, curbs without bending rims--its tough as nails.

Cool video man! Some great points. I like to pick roads that are less populated for wheelies and gooning. Had some close calls with kids and animals running out.

I like the 705s also. A great compromise ride-anywhere tire but it's almost too easy to find their limits, and the rear gets slippery on edge.

Yeah, Yamaha has it licked on valve inspection intervals. If your scoot starts to take longer to start, good indication of needed valve adjustment, it’ll also become quieter, so if you lose your tick, inspect.

I didn't realize how many videos you had on literally everything, Good honest videos at that an thorough, respect ya tons mane peace

Got a 2017 Drz400sm as my first bike recently and I couldn't be more happy. Cost like 18 a month on insurance. Granted I'm 32 years old but I have a blast on this thing. And it never feels like too much bike, just perfect.

Rode a supermoto (drz400sm) for the first time and on the dragon. It was a blast! So much different than the cruisers I’m used to.

I had a DRZ400S converted to a supermoto with a 434 high compression build for almost 10yrs. Out of all the hooning I did, I only got pulled over once and it was because the Triumph 675R I was riding with got pulled over. Lol Even pulled a stoppie with a cop behind that I didn’t see with no issues. I tried many tires and my favorite were Bridgestone Battleaxe’s. I tried ADV tires, but they are quite a bit heavier and I didn’t care for feel of the heavier tires. I never had an issue with stairs, curbs or off road with the Battleaxes either. They are great for saving gas too. Even ripping on it I’d get around 40-45mpg!!

I only adjust my valves when I have a starting issue. My 17 ktm excf 450 has had 1 adjustment and 1 piston @ 500 hours or 13,000 miles and to be honest it didn't need a new piston could have just replaced the rings. But I wanted to up the compression and have some head work done to maximize the power output. Very easy to do if you have the tools. It's been a great bike to me. Never a real issue with her. I have it set up for balls out supermoto at the moment but most of the hours and miles were done in dirt trim.

This is a great video! I am looking into getting a Suzuki DRZ 400SM when I get to Florida. This video makes me more ready than ever lol. I'm a beginner and have never rode a motorcycle. I will find someone to thoroughly teach me of course. I want something with decent fuel economy, cheap, and pretty much everything that you talked about in this video. Perfect SHTF bike too.

Hey CycleCruza! Thanks for the tips, I saw your video that mentioned the Kawasaki KLX300SM and I'm going to pick it up on Tuesday at my local dealer. Your videos played a huge role in my bike decision!

I got a ktm dual sport that I use for desert racing, the most street riding I do is once in a while to work, or to ride across a small town to get to trails on the other side. The only insurance claim I had taken on it was when it was stolen, but I got it back and it was declared totaled, so I took the money and bought the bike back from the insurance for very cheap and cleaned it up a little, and now it's honestly better than before, I had some black plastic on it, now it's all orange, wich makes me happy, and also since it is a bit more beat up I don't care in the least about dropping it, it was a bit like that before from a few years of racing, but now if I crash you can't even tell by looking at it if I had just crashed. I did lowside with knobby tires once, if I were to do more street riding I would get a set of supermoto wheels and tires. And maintenance even though it's a KTM and maintenance is supposed to be expensive and often, it's not, my dad's old ktm the oil was changed like every ten races, the valves might have been checked once, and it still ran just fine when we sold it and it was 16 years old, now we both have basically the same bike with roughly the same amount of hours on it close to 150, and we've each only done a few oil changes, haven't done anything else to them, and they run just as good as when we got them.

ALWAYS good to see a new video from CycleCruza

Remember the first valve check is the most importent one -my neighbor autorized mechanic My bike needed valve check every 6000km it said in the service manual. Drove it 9500km and the rocker arm failed (since i did not adjust the valves). Bought a new engine and adjusted the valves. Drove it 20 000km untill the rodbearings/piston failed. So i think its wise to say its sort of same with the yamaha yz

Excelent advice, esp. the tyre choice bit. Thanks.

Yup That Was Me Today ON My New 2 Day Old XR 150LS . This Thing Is Too Much Fun . I Had More Fun In 1st & 2nd Gear OffRoading Than ON The Highway In 5th Gear . I Never Realized A Low CC 1 Cylinder Bike Could Be So Much Fun .

As a UK rider who had mainly sports bikes, 600cc middleweights and the odd sports tourer I like the idea of a supermoto after too many speeding tickets. Sadly, I am looking at a ban soon. I figure I might get it into less trouble with the law on something like a KTM 450 than with my Daytona but still have fun if I pick the right roads. And there is some green lane potential (though I take your point about the fronts diameter compared to a full on dirt bike). I test rode an electric zero earlier this year. This was the closest Ive ridden to a supermoto. Top end aside (and battery of course) I loved it! Up to around 80 mph It felt like a 600cc but with the weight of a 125! So light! These little bikes look like you can be really aggressive with them too. I would never dream of locking up the rear on a normal bike the way I have seen these ridden! Thanks for the video, I found it really informative.

I have two more things to add: 1st no one tells you how a Supermoto just falls and pulls you into a curve and even feels safe and funny if it begins to slip, even on Semi-Slicks. My buddy with his Husqvarna Nuda 900R that always said it would be like a sumo was frightened the first time he took my sumo for a spin and aknowledged that there was a huuuuge difference between a twitchy naked and a sumo. 2nd is that even if all the sumo guys tell you how much fun it is, no one that never rode one will believe you and will always laugh at you just because they ride a "real" bike

I got lucky to find a 2008 YZ450 with a streetable title (at least TN didn’t mind), but graves exhaust, cams, built carb….. fire breather. Fun build

I currently ride a Burgman 650, after 30 years off a bike. Before that, I had a Honda CB750K and before that a POS Yamaha 400. I am cold turkeying alcohol and have a need for speed, and this style of bike is appealing.

Good content brother fr really good ty for the good info

I’ll tell you, I do a check of my engine once a year on my YZ450. That’s whipping the Cherohala Skyway and Dragons Tail quite a bit. I’ve yet to find it out of spec. The short lifespan is drilled in for MX abuse. I’ve got 8yrs on it. It’s had one timing chain and tensioner (just for peace of mind), water pump, and a new cams/piston/ring setup when I went to a 490cc kit. 7yrs ago

Love your style! Incredible video! Thank you very much! You are helping me to make up my mind on getting my very first bike. I have being riding for 25 years but only overseas and only on rented bikes dual/naked/chopers/supermoto. At age of 50! came to a conclusion that i deserve a pair of "fun wheels" of my own. What are the lighter competators of 701 and 690? Prehaps a bit lighter bikes you can recommend? Thank you in advance.

I bought my KLX300SM and was initially worried about costs...everyone said motorcycles are more expensive than cars. Insurance is $300/yr and maintenance/repairs is dirt cheap especially since some of it can be done on your own. I've dropped it a few times and it hardly took any damage. That alone makes it a great bike and perfect for beginners.

It wasn't the size of the tire that caused you to fall. It was more likely the technique. You have better control standing up. Being a hidden log, even on a full Enduro you'd fall.

Once I’m done with my current project, I’ll be looking for a TT-R 125 to convert to a supermoto for track days at the small go-cart tracks. I wouldn’t use it on the street due to the low top speed. Just looking for something small, durable and cheap to repair and fits the ethos of a very small track.

Man nice content. I'm convincing myself to go mini moto with my pitbike cause I can't afford to buy a new bike. But maybe I can afford to upgrade my pitbike with lights and street tires. Over time.

I know you guys won’t believe me, but my 2007 DRZ400S (liability only) cost me only $7 dollars a year to insure. That’s about $0.58 cents a month, lol. And as far as cops, I had cops come up to me to ask me how fun the bike looks. And wish they had one to rip around on. I have never experienced that before I had a duel sport. I had a GSXR and got chased and profiled all the time for being up to something all the time. Good video man 🤙🏽

Sumo is life. I'm older, have had every kind of bike, nothing satisfies like the Sumo.

First comment Love your channel mate long time sub from the land down under!! Ride safe live easy.

Ive got a wr250R with street tires and im having waaaayyyy too much fun in the city. 100$ insurance all around, 800$ plates and 350$ license. But considering where i live its cheap af. Its soooo fun and its true that the police don't really care about you. They know damn well you wont run away, you be a nice guy and since you are unique they are chill af !! Also thank you for this vid !

Awesome video man, greeting from a Brazilian traveling on a bicycle. Hope i can afford to buy a little motorcycle in the next years

I remember you had a 2 stroke supermoto didn't know you went the 4 stroke route which is the best imo.

What are those mirrors you have tucked in the hand guards. I like that clean hidden look, I cant do bar end mirrors since i do take the bike in the woods and they wouldnt last long.

I put ADV type tyres on my KTK525 In 21inch and 18inch and almost scraped the pegs. So much fun. But I would sugest getting a cush drive rear hub.

OH MY GOD YOUR STILL MAKING VIDEOS!!?!?!?! IVE LITTERALY BEEN WATCHING YOU SINCE I WAS 15 AND IM 24 NOW

Where did you get the mirrors that are mounted inside the handguards? Those are slick!

Great video… great content. Keep it up

Excellent, informative vid

My off-road days are a thing of the past. Off-road and myself haven’t been friends ever. Last time off-road was a Kawasaki “enduro”. Lol. And it ended up with a busted tail light and me on my back.

Hey man, Thanks for the vid! Are those mirrors integrated into the bark busters? Where’d you get them from?

drz rider here. had 3 bikes before i got my first drz. just got another one kast year, never switching back to any other bikes. i just love supermotos.

Thank you for this video, could you tell me how u put ur blinkers and the mirrors on this bike? I saw allot of supermoto without them and wonder if i can do it at home or not

Thanks for the video man.

Hey where'd you get those mirrors? love those.

I’m in MO and have a ‘19 Crf450x and I’m struggling to figure out how to get it tagged other than going the SD route🤷‍♂️

what app do you use for your gps? i like that setup for sure.

Heres my Five. 1 A lot of wrenching 2 It hurts to crash, 3 broken parts are expensive, 4 Upgrades are more expensive, 5 If you dont crash repeatedly you arent having enough fun. My personal rule added as #6, stock up on side panels, shrouds, and grips..

Made my 97 XR400R street legal, Im from OHIO too. Easy and now I can ride from trail to road or what ever I want

Any advice or tips on me making my 2019 yz250f supermoto? Any gearing recommendations?

Hey CycleCruza! I'm curious what you've done for security on your bike? I wouldn't be comfortable going anywhere and leaving that in the parking lot. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us and making these awesome video's. I really enjoy your channel.

I have a DRZ400 Supermoto and I love it but I always wanted to Street legalize a two-stroke and make it a Supermoto something like an RM 250 or a friend of mine has a YZ 490 he's thinking about letting go suicide machine but it would be fun as a Supermoto awesome video brother

Just got a 701 husky, few months later it’s soooooo fun. Couldn’t imagine a sports bike now.

Are those the same mirrors in the video that you have the link to in the description? The ones in the description are bar end….are thes the same just modified? I’d like the ones in the video tucked behind your deflectors.

Hello, im getting a yz250f supermoto and it prolly has same maintanance hours as your 450f so what is the maintanance hours when you street ride these bikes i assume they are not as frequent as if you raced them🤔

To add street tires, do you need to get new rims as well right ?

where did you get tjose mirrors from they are brilliant

Great video and advice. Subscription added.

Where did you get those hand guard mirrors?

Like your channel , quick question would you get a dual sport and turn it into a supermoto ,or get a dirt bike and turn into a supermoto?? Thx..

I would like to get a super Moto one day. Looks like a really fun bike to ride.

hope you are well i am in the uk i just got a supermoto

Whats the maintenance like? Is it like as it would be a designated street motorcycle or us it dirtbike maintenance?

Do you recommend a super moto for my first road bike? I ride dirt bikes and have been for about 4 years. I have a trail bike honda 450rl that is street legal

I'd love to know what insurance you use cause mine is 340 for a year with full coverage.

Imagine driving past him filming that intro and it looks like someone giving g his bike a lecture like it's one of his kids.

Has anyone ever told you that you sound like J-Roc from Trailer Park Boys? Lol. Great content.

Built my own sumo and subscribe lol i love the content :)

What mirrors you have , and are they actually functional ?

I just bought a 19 kx450 and plan on building it into a supermoto. Are there any light /street legal kits you'd recommend?

what about the gearing, because my Honda crf250f has quite short gears I know a gearing kit could help with that but I would prefer something simple and that I know how to do haha

Nice 👌 Liked & Subbed Mate 🔥🔥

Will my 125cc ktm crosser have an alternator or not or do I have to get a dirt bike with a headlight already

I'm looking at getting a 450 supermoto. Do you have to rebuild the engine every 100 hours?

Great motorcycle bro

what was the black bike at 2:02 ? i love it

@cycleCruza where did you get does mirrors?

Absolutely 💯 agree Drz400 sold... Tenere700 and Drz400 :)

#6. Best bike to run from the cops on. 😆

My mate had a CCM 604 back in 2003 and he could easily keep up on twisted roads in the U.K.

wheelies for dayz! :P yah just got my drz400sm and stoked to get back into riding.

Damn good video sir!

Where did you get those mirrors? Your link to mirrors doesn't seem to be the same ones.

I love supermoto! Ride safe bro

1:44 meanwhile my Grom is my primary off road machine haha

Good video. I know a 450 sized bike is not going to be comfortable on the interstate but how does it do on two lane highways? Can you cruise 60 miles an hour without ringing its neck? How do you think the ADV tires do on dirt and gravel fire roads? I’ve been told the 17 inch front will skate and plow.
