I was cruising by a mom and her kid in the stroller, and as we approached she turned the stroller towards the road so the kid could watch me coming along. I looked as I went by, and he was sporting a huge :eek: face, with a wide-open mouth. He likely right around a year old or so.. gotta get to em early!

I think the point is Z3n is a space cowboy on the edge of a frontier unknown to man, he's out there pushing the limits, trail braking into the abyss. Finding out where the edge of the razor is, turning to face the darkness and revving his 690 into it's vast gaze. You gotta live this to learn it bro.

Dear lord, give me the strength to resist temptation, to avoid encounters with the law at the hands of the god we call supermoto.

:(

quote:

Up for sale is my 99 Yamaha YZ400f SuperMoto. This bike is not only fully built with all the best parts but it’s also plated and street legal in California. This is VERY rare and difficult to find. The engine was fully rebuilt with 426 crank, rod, piston and cylinder less than 3000 miles ago, and the valves were just done. It runs beautifully and has tons of power. Trust me, this thing makes a DRZ400 look like a kids toy. It has just as much power as any of the 450s out there, and more than a lot of them. It also weighs a ton less than a DRZ. Under 250lbs fully fueled.



In addition to the motor the bike has a number of other upgrades.


17” supermoto wheels, Behr rims with billet hubs.
320mm motomaster front brake and 6 piston caliper
Magura hydraulic clutch
Fresh Michelin Pilot Power tires with lots of life left on them
TrailTech Vapor Computer/speedo
Baja Designs Light kit
Acerbis DHH headlight
Custom Carbon fiber gas tank
Swing arm modified for sportbike style rearstand spools
Big Gun head pipe (I have the full exhaust, but the stock muffler is installed because it’s quieter)
Entire bike was disassembled, cleaned and painted when the motor was rebuilt.


I also have lots of spare parts that will go with the bike.


I have the stock dirt wheelset with good knobbies, with a complete oversized front brake assembly from caliper to lever. Makes it quick and easy to swap from dirt to street. You dont even have to bleed the line, just unbolt one caliper, hose and lever, and swap the other one on.

Also have a second spare front caliper,
brand new unused clutch basket still in the packaging
a new braided front brake line still in the packaging.
new black seat cover still in package
Misc. new bearings and seals.
Spare stiffer fork springs,
the Big Gun exhaust muffler
original headlight that came with the baja designs kit
Spare turn signals
a couple different sized front and rear sprockets.
Full set of blue plastics including a spare gas tank
A bunch of other extra number plates and fenders



This bike is in beautiful shape and has been religiously maintained. Owned by a professional race mechanic. Oil changed very frequently, fresh tires, chain and sprockets. You will not find another bike like this one for sale. It’s a true race SuperMoto that will keep up with anything out there, will kill supersports in the canyons, and best of all IT’S STREET LEGAL!!!

I have no money or I would be buying the poo poo out of this bike.

Z3n, you should buy that. I can't even imagine how much fun it must be to ride, and at 250 lbs or less even. At that weight you can almost just have someone pick it up and hold it while you do chain lubing, tire changes, etc.

The drawback to your situation is that if she buys it, she'll use it.

TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY CUBIC CENTIMETERS
Saw a guy on a cruiser this afternoon with his son riding pillion. The kid looked about 8 and was in shorts and sandals, only protection was a brain bucket. I don't understand how you can voluntarily put your own child in that kind of a situation. Squids are one thing, as are their girlfriends who choose not to wear gear while on the back, at least it's their own choice to be retarded. But a kid is going to have no idea what kind of damage you're going to suffer in an unprotected crash. Ugh, I wish they would take bikes from people like that.

The whole ride home I was picturing an 8 year old all rashed up and imagining what his mother's reaction would be :(

Oh man tell me about it.

Beginning of the summer I saw a fatass dude and his overweight kid, something about the two of them together made it impossible for the kid to put his feet on the rear pegs, or even keep them in and they stuck out like chubby little sausage links as the (i'm assuming) father split lanes down the 110 in LA.

It really freaked me out, but the kids feet never hit a car so I'm hoping its just one of those things that looks really terrible but from a firsthand perspective isn't as close as it seems.

The problem is you suck at riding motorcycles. That dude isn't going to wreck - he's amazing! And being amazing at riding 800lb cruisers is genetic so his son is also protected :colbert:

They were at the other side of an intersection from me, and when the light went green, the guy wheelied through the intersection and rode it till it hit the limiter :psypop:

I saw a dude in Hawaii with no lid or anything with what looked like an 8 year old with an oversize half-face on the back. Wonder what JR will think when daddy is lying on the pavement with an open melon. loving idiots, its ok to be stupid when you're young and have no family, its not when you have kids to take care of. Put on a drat lid so you don't leave them w/out a father.
