I am looking at buying a supermoto bike next year. What would be easier, buying a sm510 or converting a TE 510. I want to buy a second set of wheels to change back and forth from supermoto to dirt. Dave
If you plan on doing a fair amount of dirt, start with the TE, then your only an extra wheelset away. Three Husky's in less than a year, I'd say you've caught the bug.
+1 Start with the TE unless you are going to race it in SM trim. You'll be happier in the dirt. The 510 is a barrel of monkeys on the street in SM mode. I really miss mine. paul
I guess I have caught the bug. Too bad my wife can't sympathize with me. Basically my intentions are to race supermoto and also a dual sport class on the dirt. Thanks Dave
I thought the SM's were a goofy eyesore a year ago and must admit after seeing some of the conversions guys/gals have documented here and at TT I've entertained the thought of doing it...............maybe later after a few sets of knobbies. Never would have thought they could be driven so aggressively in corners just by changing tires. Pretty cool.
You really owe it to yourself to give it a go sometime. Dragging the pegs on a dirt bike is crazy fun stuff. From last year playing at the cart track. paul
