I am new to Supermoto but I do have 10 year experience off roading (quads), and a couple years experience with street bikes. I am looking to get a Supermoto in the near future.
The primary reasons I want one is to build riding skills. I would love to race on and off the pavement and I want something I can learn to stunt with.
I am not very tall about 5'7. I sat on a SXV 550 at a local dealer and noticed it is way to tall for me. I want something I am not struggling to get my footing with. I also want something that I will not grow out of power wise. I will be driving it on the street and need to know about registering and what bikes can be street legal. I will be buying something used for sure but want to know what to look out for.
What are the main differences between the setup on a Supermoto vs a dirt bike. So far I gather it has larger brakes, street tires, and I am assuming stiffer suspension. If I where to buy a dirt bike to convert exactly what would I be looking at doing?
I know thats a lot of questions but I would appreciate the help. And I hope to get started in the sport here soon
