XR400 Supermoto

[Cafe Racer]

Hello,

Would a 400 be a good size for a Motard style bike? I am 5'10 at 175lbs. What is the weight of this type of bike? Would it ride the freeway okay?

Miguel:nerd

If you want to go the speed limit.

Found an interesting gearing post...

if you change the rear sprocket to 40 teeth it will do
about 95 mph.

are you asking because of this :confused

 

[JoeBar]

or this :confused :laughing

Yeah... like those bikes. It sounds like those are set up pretty nice. But one of them is alot older then the other.

I am still uncertain between a 650 or a 400. Is there a huge difference? Is the 650 really that much heavier? Is it worth the extra power you get?

Are these the most predominant supermoto's on roadrace tracks around town?

Aside from weight, does the XR400 have any ADVANTAGES over the XR650?

Yeah I saw your 650. It looked huge, like it was going to kick my VFR's ass even with 100cc's less and 3 cylinders down. :laughing
