Stoked to see some supermoto content, that track looks like a lot of fun with the elevation and camber changes. Next time you go to the kart track you might try banging the gears down without the clutch. The slipper clutch can handle it and it'll be smoother. Also, the slicks have dimples in them that you can use to measure wear. I use a lot of take offs from the faster guys and unless the profile of the tire is concave they're probably fine. Also if you haven't already replaced the stock clutch slave cylinder I'd do that asap as I saw several fail last season.

Also thanks for getting me back on a bike again. I binged your videos over the summer and ended up with a 2020 KTM 790 Duke 😀

2:38 Glad you mentioned which one is not you, i thought both are you only

The comment about feeling like you're flying while you're riding and then the footage looking like you're standing still is so true. I've been smashing my pit bike around this track I built my backyard and when I looked at the footage it was comical how slow I was going. On the bike you feel like you're on the razor's edge. Small bikes are so much fun

As a sumo racer myself i can say: yes that shit is addictive 😂

I never comment on anything ever. But for the first time I felt it was needed. Man you remind me of myself. Cool video. Very enjoyable. I like the way you did this . Really humble. More people should be like you.

Kepp Improving Your Stunts!🙌

I'm glad you found the track :), great video! Definitely looking forward to more supermoto content :)

I really like your honesty about your achievements! No boasting or bragging. Exactly as I would feel, I guess 😁

Congrats on the new toy! Bro, don't let the internet scare you too much about 450 reliability issues. At 800 hrs my KTM cylinder is still rocking it's original coating and only on its second piston/rings that went in at around 650 hrs because it was using an annoying amount of oil. These things just aren't the ticking time bombs the interwebs make em out to be. ✌️

at 7:00 in the video ive learned to take the 3 lefts at once, just sliding around the corner and going at it. my mate greg showed me how to tackle it and it really does help. but still take it wider and stay in the same gear through out the three turns and just ride the throttle through out. if anything happens there is space to correct.

This year May I lost my license and had to find other ways to cope with my motorcycle needs.. I had 2 supermoto's and I thought.. lets go to track with them.. that shit is addicting and soo much fun.. soo much that I stopped street riding altogether! Been to quite a few tracks already and planning on going to many more next season. absolutely love my Aprilia SXV550 supermotard and want to learn to tame the beast more and more. Awesome to see that more people are discovering SUMO track days are fun!!

That looks like a lovely track, congrats on the addition of another (the best really) riding discipline!

My son bought a DRZ400-SM……and…….man do I love riding that thing. Put some lights and a tag on it and make it an urban machine.

You should try a supermoto track next. You’ll really be hooked. Asphalt, dirt and jumps all together. It’s addicting.

Damn! That looks like fund. Great footage. You can't beat the tarmac!!

This year i started, and i have loved it a lot, a bit sad i only rode 2 trackdays and only used a loaner bike, but next year imma keep at it for sureN

Nice one 👍 (suggested by YT :D) My first time on tarmac track was also with husq 450 supermoto. Looking back I'd say its quite a nice way to start, very forgiving platform, easy to ride. At that time I though nah this probably isn't for me, all the maintenances etc I rather go 4cyl road bike road. (yeah silly me) Now when I have few years of riding road bikes and also racing I can say they can be even more time consuming with maintenances + tires + fuel etc and I kind of miss the simplicity of SM of that time 🤣 I'd like to try SM once more though to see how it goes with new experience. My suggestion is a Pitbike with slicks - 160-190cc ones are enough fast plus skills translate both to roadbike and SM with much less expenses (if I remember my rough calculations pitbike training was 10x less expensive than R6 considering all ) tires last a long time and actually pitbikes are more demanding for proper riding technique.

You got nothin to prove Mayne 🔥🤙🏽 As you stated, you don’t gotta hammer the straights, you gotta improve the corners. I’ve DREAMT of taking my WR250 on a track but there are none. Try out the sumo in the dirt. You’ll be impressed. Also, you can slide around on the slicks and it teaches you even more. Then you slap on the dirts and just shred.

Been waiting for this video

You are doing this right, starting slow and smooth and moving up. Remember the saying: "Slow is smooth and smooth is fast"! In no time you'll be cutting another 15-20 seconds off the top. Cheers mate!

I own a 19' 690 SMCR and its an awesome bike! Maybe its not light as a FS450/ SMR450 but it has the fundamentals of a great sumo. An awesome machine for some hard track trashin' and having loads of fun!🔥

Gee, thanks a lot pal... This is exactly why convincing people not to do drugs always backfires. "It was a terrible experience! I had so much fun I didn't want to stop, it's cheaper than mostly anything else and it'll make any day feel infinitely better!"

Love the content, looks so much fun!

So *that's* what a gearbox looks like!

Once you have some more asphalt only track days under your belt, you HAVE to try some real Supermoto! Asphalt section and a dirt section with jumps, berms & flat track corners. After you are hooked on Supermoto you will never want to ride any other disciplines. 😅

I bought my first 690 SMC in 2011 and rode it all around Europe and three times on the Nürburgring. It's got 93.000 km on the clock now. And because it's so good, I just bought another 2020 690 SMC R with just 4500 km that my wife can ride as well, since it's got a lower seat height. I've also done indoor Supermoto on a Kart track twice. Supermoto all day long for me.

Gokart tracks are so much fun on bikes xD I ride often at iDube Raceway in Camperdown, KZN on a Ninja 400/R3...love it!!!

get some axel sliders then your bike can withstand almost everything. droped and thrown away my exc 500 SuperMoto 30 times or so and its doing just fine. also i personally think shifting late even driving till redline brings the real power even if it hurts the heart

i was thinking some back straps to go over the seat or in the back tyres to hold the SM down a bit more, wouldnt want the beast to fall out the truck

Just picked up a 450 SMR. Too much fun on the Kart track!

Try using the whole track ,if it's a sharp left turn make sure your as far right as you can and then turn in on the apex late , let's you get on throttle a lot faster

Awesome content as always ❤

what a problem to have! XD 'i hope i don't enjoy my new bike because i don't want to take care of another motorcycle' i swear on everything in my workshop i'm not dissing you. i really liked the video, and i love seeing people trying out different bikes to find what they like the most. but god, do i wish i had the money to have this problem!

Awesome video and amazing camera man you have

Hey important question. Do you ever try to get air on your supermoto? I figure I'd be hitting railroad tracks, speed bumps, hell even dips on the road and try to load that suspension for a bunny hop.

For a all rounder I love my yamaha tdm 900, would have loved if yamaha would bring it back with a tad more power and refinement with updated suspension but we can all dream👌cracking vid and I have been looking at a cbf1000 as a all rounder as I've never owned a inline 4 and I only ever road a cbf600 round a car park.

What kind of box did you use to store your gear?

I like your bikes very much but I hope we'll get to see you on a sport bike one more time 🔥🤞

so how was formula K. enjoy the one section coming of the main straight just flows so nicely

Definitely making me want to ride a supermoto!

Nice video. Supermoto is so much fun. Cheaper than road bikes. More crash durable and not expensive as you think. Tires only wear out quick if you run really soft compounds and are really fast. I had a whole season going 3 to 4x a month and only went through a set of tires. Well 2 sets but i tried golden tyres and didnt like them so went back to a softer tire. I have had good durability from dunlop 250gp tires. Also the motor at 130hrs isnt as big of a concern if it wasnt ridden on the limiter the entire time. I would still rebuild the top but i dont think its moments away from catastrophic. I would suggest trying more of a flat try style over an rr style especially since you ride mx. I have always felt more comfortable pushing the bike down under me vs hanging off trying to drag knee. I know fast guys that do both but tighter tracks seem to be easier with a flat track style. Good sliders on the axles. Bars. Pegs and on your muffler should prevent any costly damage and crashes generally happen as lowsides when you are going relatively slow.

Had a DRZ400 with the Athena 440 conversion on it. Sold her a while back. Id love to have a street legal SM!!

I can recommend you to try sports driving on a Pitbike. Driving is much cheaper, equipment too. The pit bike itself is much more responsive and you learn much faster. Such driving is becoming very popular in Europe (or at least in Poland) and is also used on karting tracks.

Great video, as always 🤘🤘🤘

Brought an Insta360 x3 yesterday and then see I could have got a free gift with your affiliate link 😢 never mind at least I have 10 mins of joy watching your new video 👍

built my first Supermoto in 1980 - been riding SM ever since

I vant to get a supermoto but there isn't a lot of options for a1 licenses near me. any tips on cheap a1 compliant supermotos?

I love you for this supermoto content.🥵🤟

ANOTHJER GREAT VIDEO CC ,MANY COULD LEARN FROM YOU

i have been looking for a super moto for a while now just cant seem to find the right one near me.

you should try using map 2. it has far less engine breaking and smooths out the power.

Yeaaaah! +1 supermoto junkie! 🤟

Just fyi, the stock handguards on the fs450 have the structural integrity of a block of cheese. Get something with a metal back bone (barkbusters/acerbis) as the stock ones are litterally just for aesthetics

By any means, I'm no expert... But it looks like you're applying street bike riding style, especially at cornering instead of supermoto... Keep them contents coming \m/

I converted a 2011 husaberg 450fe. It's street legal and way too much fun. I ride it everyday I can in the summer.

Me: honey I think I need a supermoto Wife: STFU you have 3 motorcycles now! Me: But it is necessary

I want to take my Hyper on a Go-Kart track 😅😅

if it didnt blow up where did you get that footage of it blowing up at the begining??

Learn how to use 1 finger for clutch, it will be handy for offroad and wheelies for the future:)

You've now caught the bug. Supermotos are so hoon, and a ridiculous amount of fun.

Which track is that? I rode a friends supermoto once and hated it 😄 I want one

I'm 56 Y/O and been riding since I was 12. Started on a 1976 Honda CB400f and have owned everything up to 1000cc ( R1) Now I ride a KTM 450sm replica. I will NEVER go back to riding anything else but a Supermoto... Those days of trying to hit 180 mph are over. Supermoto FTW!!!😎

I would love to try a supermoto

>lot of hours >literally less than my bike in the last month

Are your hats back in stock?

Dam I’m looking at a dirt bike now. I’ve only street riden and think dirt bikes will help my skill plus they look fun as hell.

You hope Supermoto sucks... because if it doesn't, you'll never wanna leave it.

"supermoto is expensive" I mean anything that takes place on a race track is expensive, but its hard to think of a cheaper way to get a lot of track time on two wheels. I think the skills you build on a kart track are way more relevant to street riding than the big tracks, too.

Imagine buying a supermoto, a husqvarna supermoto at that and it not being a 701 🤣

Time for me to buy one to join you

try the other map😅😁

I miss my supermoto days..

140hrs isn’t much, my 2011´ Husqvarna 449 got about 200 now and is still running fine

Supermoto and sucks don’t belong in one sentence 😉Cool vid!

whaaaaat, you rode a motard without MX boots!!!!

So, now I need another bike 🏍

130 hours ain‘t that much for a 450 engine

Supermoto is by far the most fun I ever had on a bike !

Supermoto is the way

You should check out "Mike on bikes". Mike makes videos similar like you but also has some very good supermoto videos. I learned alot from him. Maybe you can learn also something from him for the next trackday

Riding any sort of motorbike is fun . none of it sucks stay safe peeps :)

Gokart supermotos is probably the cheapest lol

Man, if you ever, ever get the chance, ride a KTM 990 SMT. You will cry buckets, because it's expensive and massive fun.

Dont worry so much about the bike just ride 😉

Sm power!

Black grass track, can’t ride a dirt bike any faster than Supermoto 👍, Easy on the body to, do lots of laps without getting as tied as MX ect.

Lol. Fantastic

You should get a better camera man assistant 😂

what ! No Weelie in the video that's is a bit of a disappointment

136 hours isn’t that much for them

Supermoto is the bestest

If you hope it sucks just dont do it🤣

If it's possible. Get it legalised and plated. Much more fun on the road

Bro, these Motors last longer then you think. I myself a exc450 and now it got 436.6h on the first piston. Just do every 15h oil

Nice

This is not "a lot of hours"

Super moto is the best type of moto

Nope... it is awesome!!!

Bro forget about supermoto I dont even own a scooter
