How many of us Motard riding fiends are here??

New to LB wondering just how many of us are here??

Got a XR650R me

Hello slidy I am Mel and I have a Yam XT660R in pink, quite individual but I love her…

Hi Mel, thats two so far lol

Whats the XT like??

Love it, it was snatchy at first but 1 power commander and DNA air filters on her it seems to have sorted it out a bit, got an Ohlins shock to put on her before the summer and some Ohlins S/Moto forks so she will be blinged up to the eye balls.

I dont get down to London very often especially in the winter as the A1 is a horrid road to ride in the wind and the rain but when the summer gets here I shall be off to meet everyone again in London so hopefully see you there…

Ladyp with all due respect, the XT660R is an Enduro bike certainly not a motard

This is what a motard would look like

Damn, that’s nice.

I have a DRZ400, but it’s not in SM form right now so can’t wave my flag.

Hey lets not bicker folks My 1st motard was a DR400 (1982 4 stroke twin shock trail bike) with 18 inch road tyres, wisco big bore kit, rac pipe, hot cam and no lights!!!

Didn’t know what a motard was back then

If its a converted off road bike (or factory) its a motard

Done the same to a 125 KX too Stoopid i know Flat out at 50

Sadly although I still post in here, I am a fraud I sold my tard last july

However I did own tards for 4 years and I will be back someday. My new commute meant I had to replace the tard with a Z750

Heres a pic of my dearly departed SMC of Doom.

Love the graphics Supermofo! Where did you get them? I’ll need something for my all-black drz now.

I got 'em from here

Looks like they only do one type for the Dzer If you had a KTBOOM there is a choice of hundreds, its a shame cos race styles are really really good. The fit is good and the quality is very good and they don’t come off either

Superb, thanks mate. Perhaps I can modify a KTM kit if need be. I am a ninja with a scapel

I dunno, some of those kits from XGX for the DRZ are proper sex and no cutting req A guy on VD had one of there Cammo kits on a CRF and he was saying the graphics were top quality. Only bummer, would be the tax if it gets stopped at customs, the German kits do away with that crap

Must admit, cool graphics

Makes my XR a bit bland lol

I’ve got a crf450 (for ze racing)

and I’m hoping to get my 660SMC repaired soon.

Sweet thats 3 then

Hello…

hello, how are you and welcome…

I’ll be a motarding friend once I’ve passed my test in a few months!

Heres a cool vid for you all -

Nice mid air double down change from Nicky Hayden near the end

Hi people !!!

I am relatively new to the SM / Off road world - just invested in an 05 KTM 525EXC . Bllody quick but scares the sh1t out of me on knobblies . Planning to SM the KTM in the summer and would appreciate any opinions or help that I can get . Till then enjoying plenty of " dirty fun " !!

Need to update my log in name as have not had the Mille for 18months now so any suggestions ??

Keeping it " orange "

Milleman

I know naff all about 525’s except yes they are mental

Try the Supermoto forum on Visordown, loads of 525 owners on there. Also try Thumpertalk and there is a KTM forum but can’t remember the name That should help you out

For a starter thou your gonna need wheels (bling ones perferably see pics) and brakes. After that I guess the suspension might want stiffening up and then the usual pipe/airbox mods.
