@bloodhay I don't think so. Reviewing your videos shows you what you're doing wrong, but that's only a small part of it. The larger part is the motovlog community itself. What a great resource, as there are some very seasoned and very skilled riders in our community. Motovlogging has been a way for me to connect with and learn from these riders.
In florida, I have a 400 yard sugar sand driveway. The klx250sf with street tires handles the driveway better than my bmw g650gs dualsport with Metzler knobbies. I am not going to change the knobbies on the bmw because I ride it 95% on the road.
The wheels on the S model are not direct bolt-ons onto the sf. The brake rotors are mainly the issue-different sizes on each and the bolt patterns to not match to switch them out directly. There are a couple of guys out there which have done it for $
Im guessing you could put some 80 20 street dirt tires on there aswell.
Now what im wondering since geometry of the SF and the S is so diffent, how much work is getting a second set of wheels for to alternate between offroad and onroad. And how would the resulting bike be.
You buy a bike that you can afford,like and suits your normal terrain - you don't buy a bike based upon a terrain that you may go on once in a blue- moon on a whim. LJ' just having some fun, not going across the Gobi.
@delacob Nope. See video description. This was street tires. And, yeah, the shake was almost unavoidable. Crazy bumpy road! I was standing most of the time, obviously.
What's the point of a supermoto? They are useless!! Wannabe dirt bikes, you should of gotten a true dual sport, so you can really shred that road!! Not hating on you or your bike just saying, Had a 09 ninja 250, My DRZ400S will dust it EASY!! -
@YoshiMan246 Uh.... Seriously? You should look up supermoto videos on youtube, man. They will dust a dual sport on the street, especially the twisties. I still love the twisties too much to get a dual sport, and this thing is fun offroad. It's designed for mostly on-road, which is what I do.
@YoshiMan246 Also, the DRZ is more powerful than the lil Ninja. The Ninja also is not designed to go offroad at all (?). It will out-corner a DRZ400S on road, and cruise more comfortably on the highway, but that's about it.
@lauriejennifer Haha true, the S and SF are complete opposites. The S is quite scary on road,but fun off road, and visa versa for the SF. Grr now you're making me want the SF lol.
what a bad sound bike..like a 50cc

Wow. My bike would have serious issues with some of the muddy spots you glided right over. It's not just the tires. It's the weight.
That must have been a fun ride.

I'd assumed you'd switched on some off-road tires. As far as camera shake goes, this Jello effect is pretty neat.

Comparing apples to oranges my friend. One is a small sized entry level supermoto, one is a twisty road missile.

Love exploring on my KLX250S
You should have got the KLX250S so you could blast it down the muddy roads, I think I would on mine.

@A7xRc No way. You can't take the S to a track day, or carve up the twisties.
