Got a stock geared 2013 WB165. Is it worth while or even practical to set it up as a street jibber? If so what should I do? Gear wise ect (17" wheels I understand).

Hi everyone,
As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.
When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.
Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.
Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.
Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.
Thanks for your patience and support!
125-200cc SMWB 165...is it practical?

Stock geared, as in 13/50? I ran mine 13/48 in the woods. I think it would be a cool street SM. I bet you could run 14/48 in SM mode.

klotz super techniplate junkie
our friends in europe have the sm125, im sure they will be along to tell you they get along ok with fewer cc!

You need Highway speed or traffic light hooligan behavior?
gearing in the tranny is different so if you have a WR gear box the sprocket gearing will be different than the SMS gearing.
the standard SM gearing is to tame and leaves gaps in between the gears yet it squeezes out the speed.
having a WR and gear a SMS the same is the ultimate fun bik.
traffic lights and so on are a blast and commercial 600 cc street racers you pull in front for the first 30 meters together with the agility of the bike its a town fun bike.
gearing 13-52 or 12-50.
nothing but smiles.
you need to get more then 120KM/H for some time, look for another bike.
with gearing you can do it but its is a lame experience.
maybe I am spoiled

Since I have plated a few wr 144s believe me this thought crossed my mind in my sleep even... Sm wheels and front brake setup along with white plastic black seat and custom decals....gearing you would have to play wit . I'm guessing on a 165 more in the street 14 to a 45-47 guessin . But come on a illegal plated two stroke smallbore on the street in a sm package . Priceless...even and educated cop would have.to let you go as he probably had a DT. Or dreamed about a Suzuki rg 500 gamma.....I'd let ya go......super durable great handling platform yea I still may.do it sometime...

To answer the practical question: No Its not
at the same time who cares
the Sm is for me a hooligan town bike as lately i don't find that much time to ride in the woods
the small bore 2 stroke with a lightning fast acceleration is for sure one big ear to ear smile and with assertive riding style (guilty)
some potent crotch rockets are no match in town traffic.
