SO....I stumbled across the Husqvarna TC449 that s omeone had converted to a SuperMoto. Later that night I witnessed a TC449 rip up a flat track race and I was in love. I figured that I could use the bike for commuting, track days (I have my race license coming up) and the occassional dirt bike excursion with my daughter since it had the stock dirt wheels too. He sold it to me for $5000 even.
2011 Husqvarna TC449
Less than 3 hours on this like new machine!
Comes with:
Warp 9 Supermoto wheel set
And a complete off road dirt track wheel kit as well****************************************
Radiator guards and supports
Skid plate
ASV levers
GPR steering stabilizer
Renthal bars
BUT... the problem is that I need to modify it for street duty. Things like a headlight, proper switchgear, kickstand, stator, turn signals, and gauges. I know that it has no passenge pegs but I was going to fab a set of billet Daddy/Daughter foot rests.
I could really care less about the aftermarket levers, steering thingy and the bars.
I then read all about the improvements of the 2012 over the 2011, plus the 2013s are coming out. Plus I would really prefer a 2012 Triumph Scrambler. All of these options are more than $5000 but by the time I make this one street ready it will be winter and I will have spent $2500 is parts and labour. Plus A guy near London has a 2011 SMR511 for sale for $7499. A little too rich but $7000 sounds good but I would need to transport it.
It was really fun to drive though.
However, my commute is 20 miles on the freeway at 80mph. Will it do 80 with 250lbs on it?
