Best quick reading source of SM info i've found, to date. . Many thanks to both the Author and Poster. Can't wait to get my '96 Husky WXE610!

Hey guys,
New to the barf community and the city of san francisco. Planning to convert my '16 KTM 690 Enduro R to SMC set up using the OEM SMC tubeless wheels. Anyone in the bay area with a converted 690 SMC setup? Would love to catch up!
Cheers!

Hey!

Great post! I’m new to the west coast. Reno, NV to be exact. I have raced motocross my whole life and now I think it’s time for something new. Thanks for answering almost all of my questions. Is there a full list of super moto tracks by state somewhere out on the web?

Thanks

Hi

Pretty much a newbie here and am currently about 6 months on a wr250x. I am looking to upgrade to a bigger bike. Was seriously considering the Husqvarna 701 sm or KTM690 sm. Both seem kind of big and heavy though. Now I am looking at converting a Honda 450l, which is about 30 pounds lighter. The Honda has no ABS or rider aids.

For now I want a bike for city commuting and hitting the back roads, etc.

I know the Honda requires oil change every 600 miles and I think I am good with that. Given they about the same price (including the sm set up for the Honda), anyone have a strong opinion either way?

Do I need/want ABS? Is having ABS better than having a lighter bike?

Thanks!
