Hi,
New to the site, great to see a 'Supermoto' section.

Here's one I made earlier:

Wow, really like that, nice moderisation but keeping the original lines. Just need a speedblock jacket & yellow Bell moto-X lid to finish the look.

Not sure about the front mudguard - looks too modern against the rest of the bodywork, think an old TT500 guard would suit the lines better or even a cut down YZ490 one?

A friend used to hill climb one years ago with 18" wheels/road tyres but he kept the standard hubs & brakes :shock:

Aweome bike mate, can see a lot of effort has been put into it.

Heres my best mates Husqvarna Sm 125, with an 08 RS125 engine in, bought it for 450 with a blown top end, top end from husqvarna was 1100, so he bought a new engine to put in, which has brought about no end of problems, he was 17 in july still isnt riding it. Cant wait for it to be done so I can have a go :D

I've got a 20 quid bet on that fully deristricted it wont be 33bhp. I'm so gonna win.

Cool looking bike.

Not my cup of tea but still well done.
