What would it take?

So what would it take to turn either the 2023 RBX250L or the 20221/2 into a Supermoto?

It's not far fetched and it's quite common thing done here
-Two 17" rims
-New spokes for both wheels (reinforced while you are at it)
-New wheels and inner tubes.

Then if you wish, you can lower it and you can also change the whole exhaust into something lower and more straight

Hmm... Maybe I should turn my TemplarX into a motard. Not the new one with the 6speed, the old one with the 5speed.

It just sounds expensive.

Orion sells the wheels with or without the tires but according to their site, they are only for the 2021 model year.

Well, it doesn't cost me anything to own it now, so worth looking into. To adapt the orion 17" wheels to the Templar should not be a big deal. Might need a bushing to align the wheel for disk brake, maybe adapt the axle. Chances are they are remarkably close, maybe identical in some ways.
