I never even considered a supermoto until cyclecruza built his and I saw how much fun it is. Now I'm waiting a dual sport with a set of sumo wheels I can switch between.

This is the content that i was searching all over the web, thanks a lot! Safe riding!

You’re a trip! So much fun to watch and great advice!

i got my 2015 XR650L supermoto, super beasty.. and a 2019 klx 110L mini supermoto...LIVING THE GOOD LIVE @ 51..

Cool video. You really don't need a bigger engine than that. I'm thinking about downsizing from my Rebel 1100cc DCT to a smaller Honda CB500 CX. I feel it would be more than enough. I used to have a CB 300R and it was a lot if fun. I still miss it.

Another good video bro. I’ve started looking more for a first bike. Im pretty convinced im gonna get a super moto as well.

Very informative!! Thank you cycle cruza

for me the most benefit, especially on a tall bike like a 690 or 701 is that the 17 inch front wheel makes the bike quite a bit shorter for not so tall riders. so with knobbly tyres you can get off road, but still have foot-down control - currently have a dr650 and wanting to move to a 690 but its just too tall - think this could be a solution

My man, Thank you very much for your videos. I'm a big fan! Great job! Respect!

I'm gonna buy these tyres for my wr250r but keep the big wheels, i think that will be best

Depends where you live! I just got a 2013 CRF 450R that I am going to make into more of a dualsport-oriented bike since I'm riding in rural Maine; it will see 90 percent dirt. If I lived in a city or something I would most definitely be sumo-ing it out!

Cy-cle-Cru-za! The Man of Many Bikes! I was blown away by how that WR250 would pop up... then realized it was the YZF450, lol! That thing is beast!

*NEW VIDEO:* The UGLY Truth About Dual Sport Motorcycles: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XI8PLEAS_gs.html

just got back from deals gap , sumo guys were killin it ! !

I think it depends where you live. Here in the PNW dual sports are king. In my backyard is the amazing BDR. The dual sport allows us to briefly ride on the concrete jungle so we can get back into the amazing mountains. But for pavement pushers this will do in a pinch.

*NEW VIDEO:* NEW SUPERMOTO BUILD ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-t-JllQZBCi8.html

My plan is to get a dual sport and a set of warp 9 wheels, keep the sumo set up 90% of the time and swap over when I want to have a nice dirt day

I like riding a dual sport because I enjoy off-road riding too. I had a CRF 250 Rally but just totaled it in June. I hit a deer doing 60. I tore my rotator cuff and got road rash but can’t wait to get back on a bike! I was thinking of getting a CRF300L because the maintenance is so easy! 8000 mile oil changes. The 450L is like every 600 hours To much work for me.

Great video. Whenever someone does a SM vs DS video, they always compare track like pristine flat highway to backwoods single track with nothing but trees across the trail. For most of us, we got a DS because our roads are somewhere in the middle of that... gravel and rutted out, but not a pro enduro trail. I would like to know how the 17's compare to the 21's on the average unimproved road that's full of potholes. I wonder if the 17's are actually better on that?

I really want a SM as a second bike. I do too much highway riding for it to be my primary bike. I have a Harley cruiser for that. But as a second bike to trash around on and just be a hooligan, a little 450 would be awesome.

What about running the big wheels but with these tyres on?

I'm pretty locked in on a DRZ400s as a second bike but part of me wants the sumo. I plan to offroad a lot, I have trails in my backyard but they're mostly sand.

Have you tried street tires on the dual sport? (e705 90/90)

Good Schiit homie. Stay up.

Hey Cycle Cruza loved the video! I have a question about the dual sport tired, can't you make the dual sport tired tubeless too just like the super moto ones? Keep it up man!

Have a crf450l and considering a supermoto conversion. What do you think about just running those shinko tires on the stock rims??

*NEW VIDEO:* Why Dual Sport Motorcycles Are TERRIBLE: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MNymErR1KHY.html

Good information, thanks

CycleCruza you should try out the 890 Duke R, seems like the perfect bike for you with the amazing torque and the light weight body

I built my 2013 WR250R as a supermoto and kept my stock wheels and tires. If I wanna go ride off-road I just swap the wheels out.

14:06 is that the Harley dealer that said you looked like martian or astronaut or something when you walked in in full gear ?

Hey CC, what street tires are you running on the YZ?

What size Shinko 705s did you put on your YZ450FX?

What bike is the supermoto? Which tires are you using?

I loved this video. I have a wr250r and i totally agree with this, i love versatility and having something that can do it all.

SM lifestyle and I trust in CycleCruza 👊✌

Cycle Cruz’s don’t forget to do a valve adjustment it’s better for the engine

I have an 04 cr250r but wont take it on the road obviously. i bought a 2007 husky sm510r recently and boy do i love it its so much fun

Well said appreciate life and just ride 🙌🏾

I started out thinking about an enduro and it's gone every which way now that I started doing research.

Are those Shinko 705’s? How are they on the road?

You got all the bikes BABY!!

What's your thoughts on honda 230m?

How about two sets of wheels/tires to switch between, one bike, best of both worlds?

Have you tried 19 inch wheels to split the difference in wheel size between sumo & dual sport?

I had the dealership tell me that neither one requires that many oil changes if you mostly stay on the main road vs off road.....is that true?

Can you figure out is the Husq 701 enduro is still available in America? I heard they only sell the super moto now

Dual sports up here in Maine, lotta shitty roads need good suspension

What type of bike was the black on in the photo

Great enthusiasm ! Ride on.

Can you ride the upstairs with the smc 690 r and do jumps ?

What Can I Wear On My Head So Sweat Does Not Soak Into My Helmet Padding

hello, what headlight do you have on the yamaha wr? thank you

What's your take on adventure bikes

I'm getting a dual sport for getting to and riding the crappy ass trails in my area. But I also have a Gixxer 750 and a Njnja 650 for street.

Got a xr150l to learn on. 300l rally on the way. Plan on going to super moto. Especially being in ne ohio .

How many hours does your yz450 have ATM,?

Every time I what to smile I just watch your videos.

What’s re the best dirt bikes to convert to súper moto

What part of Ohio you in bro?? I’m between Dayton and Cincinnati

If you live in the Midwest and you can go ride miles of singletrack right off your back porch or a few miles down the road, I would prefer dual sport. But in a state like Maryland where there is no public lands to ride, Sumo is way better because you can just jump on your bike and go ride for an hour or 2 and not have to replace 3 sets of knobbies per year. I have ridden every kind of motorcycle and ATV there is and sumo is the most fun I have ever had on 2 wheels.

Small 17 front tire is a big limitation offroad. I ride my supermoto offroad all the time.

Switching from a gsxr to a ktm 690 smcr was the best choice I've ever made. Supermoto is life now

One of the questions I was hoping you would address in this video - what is the advantage of 17" wheels? From what I can see, 17" wheels with street rubber is the biggest difference between dual sport and super moto. So what's special about the 17" wheels? Thanks

the whole point of supermoto is that you have maximum traction on the street where you spend most of your time but have the ability to go off road if and when you have to. They are hard to corner in the wild for sure.

1:12 - Busting 102mph up in here! Wooo!

DS should adopt 19 inch wheels, like ADV bikes, and get tires that are 70/30 street/dirt treads. If you ride more dirt, get dirt like tires

This is nice. I have this 250cc Taiwanese Supermoto bike which I replaced its original road tires to dual sport tires. I made it to look like a Motard Adventure Bike🤘🏻

Bro you convinced me I just bought an old Suzuki DRZ supermoto as a second bike next to my Tracer 900GT and now I don't want to ride my Tracer anymore😂

Red State, props man. Respect. A lot of points made here I dont warrant my KTM 530 to have knobbys. Decision is made. 10-20% trail does not justify the 89-90% paved roads

Time for you to bust with the 2022 model CycleCruza! Then do what you do and turn it into the baddest SuperMoto on the streets!

I want to tour on my 701 SM, but I need to solve my seat issue with it first. Even with a seat concepts seat on it, I still can't ride for more than an hour without my coccyx feeling like it's about to shatter. Maybe I should try one of those bycicling shorts with the padded butt cushions hm....At any rate, it's at least way better than the stock seat. That thing had me screaming for mercy just after 15 min. Lol Still have the stock sport tires which are nice, but I am also eyeing up some adv tires in the future.

If you're out in the country I believe the dual sports are better that 21 front tire makes washed out roads and trails easier but in cities and towns super moto would be the way to go!

I've own a FZ07 (MT07), which is the closest thing I've owned to a super moto. I currently have a DR650 in the stable. Where I live there are hundreds of miles of dirt roads. I have found the dirt much more fun than the streets... I have to get a true super moto to see for myself which is better.

You had me at Red State. Be safe man.

So tires ... and maybe gearing ..?

Your #1 reason a supermoto is better is because you made your supermoto wheels tubeless? You can do that to 18" and 21" wheels too. Then you say a dualsport is better if you do 90% offroad...I feel like a dualsport is more ideal for people who spend more than 30%+ of the time offroad. If you're riding a supermoto offroad more than 30% of the time, you should probably have a dualsport. A dualsport can do everything a sumo can, just not grip in corners as well. But a sumo can't ride half the places a dualsport can. With all that being said...I have a 690 supermoto and a 500 dualsport...best of both worlds. haha

Beautiful man, although for that bread I’d get a dualsport n a street bike or sumn

It all depends on your focus, that SM would almost never leave my garage. A dual sport will get ridden every week. Look up tubliss, not d.o.t. approved but........

Honestly, I don't think one is better than the other, and it all depends on what kind of riding you want to do with it. Mostly street? Supermoto. Offroad often? Get dual sport. Though, I'm sick and tired of dual sport riders criticizing supermotos 'having street tires on dirt bikes' when most of them don't know what they're talking about.

luv the shouting part!

I like having my dualsport and a street oriented bike separate. Purpose built.

Hell, CycleCruza was not kidding about supermoto insurance. Not even $100 for the whole year for basic coverage. Like $8 a month or so. I can actually afford that shit. 👍👍

12:18 - This is why you'll never be happy with your next bike unless it's a YZ450FX CycleCruza Strait up Bro! Now go bust with one already!

The timing of your video is perfect because I'm debating turning my Suzuki DRZ400S Dual Sport into a Supermoto. Cycle Cruza, instead of spending the money on all new rims and front brakes, why not just put sticky rubber street tires on the dual sport rims? So I decided to put Pirelli Night Dragon street tires on my OEM (21", 18") Dual Sport rims. I would appreciate your opinion of my decision - thanks 🤙

I have owned every type of motorcycle exempt an adventure bike. And I have to say that supermoto is the most fun I have ever had on a bike.

Building a street legal yz250 that I race hare scrambles with. I know it's not gonna be a good street bike, but I want to be able to ride to local riding areas and be able to explore. I might get some sumo wheels eventually, but my favorite thing is riding off road doing enduro type stuff

You should check out the new GasGas. Kaplan Cycles sells them, check out their RU-vid channel, if you haven’t.

Hi

You got everything as long as you are just tooling around the neighborhood. Take a 500 mile ride in a day and that 450 is not what you want to be on.

If you're going to be doing any substantial miles, the YZ 450 is useless. I've gone over 40,000 miles on three different WR's with minimal maintenance. That's the reason a dual sport is better. If you only do about 2,000 miles a year like Cycle Cruiza, then the Supermoto YZ is a good choice. But be prepared for a fair bit of preventive maintenance. The other big factor is cost. This YZ Supermoto cost more than double the cost of a WR by the time it's all said and done. Also for any serious off-roading, the WR will eat the YZ Supermoto alive especially once it gets a little muddy or sandy or rough. And by the way the KTM 690 and Husqvarna 701 cost almost 15 grand out the door by the time you pay fees and taxes. That's roughly three times the amount of a slightly used wr250r. And they still require more maintenance than the wr. Regarding fixing flats and rubber, I run a Kenda k270. 50/50 tire. I get over 5000 to 6,000 miles out of a set and they still work very well in most off-road conditions. And because they are dirt bike size tires it's very easy to fix a flat with a new tube or patch compared to Supermoto wheels. By the way if you puncture a tubeless tire with a large hole you're going to have to put a tube in it anyway.

Keep cruising 😎

Same thing

Cc: watch out for bad drivers.. Log: am i joke to you?! 5:56 i felt that.

My ADV bike has tubeless tires.

Dunno 🤷🏼‍♂️ I’ve never had either one Always ridden sport bikes 🏍

WHAT IS THE FRICKIN SEAT HEIGHT!!!

Yeah man

So far three Telegram scam attempts here, now one at Her Two Wheels channel; I'm being followed. If young, never took any engine apart, and can afford only one bike, best to go with what needs less maintenance, something like that WR250R; so freaking good looking in black.
