Probably start with a 17" front wheel. That is if your real wheel is 17" stock. If not, you'll want a 17" wheel. I am guessing you are not planning all out racing, so for most of us, 17/17 wheels and street tires are about as motard as we need. I had (still have the hulk of) a TMEC 200 Enduro which is a fairly typical Chinese dual-sport. Now, if you can find one, they only come with 21/18" wheels, but a few years back, the distributor that used to import them, offered them with 21/18" wheels and street legal knobbies, or 17/17" wheels and street tires which was my setup. I loved it that way! The same concept currently is the Motomax 250 offered by Peace Sports.

This set up would give you the look but you still don't wana jump this TBR. I just got a Brozz 250 Recon and the front forks are much better suited to this as they are not as flexi. I only have 20 miles on so far and cannot comment further than that but will update when i have had a good chance to ride it on trails and dirt roads etc. Just to let you know i did race supermotard for a while on a KTM 640 Duke (2004) on street rubber and a KTM 450 EXC on knobbies. The moto max from peace sports would be a great choice if you were in the market for a better handling supermoto bike, still cheap too. |
