Default Speaking of all the new bikes...

What did you think there wasn't going to be another one?

CRF450SMR

It has a modification list a mile long, as well as a whole spare set of tires, including slicks, 7 extra plastic bodywork pieces and 8, yes 8, boxes of spare parts. I'd say it was a fair trade for a bike I could only ride "50%" of anyway. Oh and it's street "legal".

06 ZX10, DirtSkinz fork savers. Those are coming off since this won't be a MX'd bike.

It is, after taking it for a spin around the block... I realize this must stay a track-bike.

People say liter bikes are dangerous, nu-uh. They clearly never rode a supermoto. It might not go 150+mph, but this will wheelie up to it's top speed the entire time and stoppie all the way back down from it.

I definitely made the right choice for me haha.

Are they water proof? Would work great against bug splatter and bug crap ruining the fork seals, but they need to be water proof so it doesnt ruin the forks.

The bottom fork guards do that already.

They're apparently velcro and are on there in sections, so I can just use them to wrap the actual seals when I do take it on our ranch with a section of it. I doubt they're water proof, but I can re-zipty them on in the event I decide to get it wet.

I need to find something like that. When I replaced my last seals they had some left over bugs in them.
