Supermoto vs. Crazy Mud Road

Too bad I wasn't recording the time I got stuck trying to cross a flooded marsh. But, hey, this was a fun adventure, too. Street tires are sketch on mud. You can't tell from this angle, but I was slipping and spinning all over the place. WOT sometimes meant crawling forward while enduring horrid headshake and crazy fishtailing. I do not recommend this.

At the end I was asking the guy which was was south. I had gotten pretty turned around on my "shortcut."

The music is my own mix. And at the end, that's WOT. The speed limit on that highway is 70mph, and my top speed is about 80 (which I stopped accelerating before reaching).

hey LJ do you think you would be as skilled a rider as you are now, if you didnt motovlog?

[lauriejennifer]

@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.

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.

@69Sphynx Bingo.

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 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.

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

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 $

Thats a lot of dirt. I want roads like that around here!
