[QUOTE="cleonard, post: 39840, member: 21"] I do that with my XR600, but it's not in supermoto trim. It's a dirt bike all the way. I'm currently running a knobby on the front and a MT43 on the rear. Both are DOT rated and work good in the dirt. It does OK on the pavement, but I don't push it and I try to minimize the pavement miles. In general supermoto means 100% street tires. While you can still go on a dirt road those kind of tires are just not made for trails. From your description it sounds to me that you need a dual sport. The WR is a better trail bike than the DR. The factory street legal DR is a heavy pig that weighs as much as my XR. If I remember correctly you live in one of the few states that still allows conversions, right? It's really cool to be able to open the garage and ride. No loading and unloading the truck and I spend $15 on gas instead of $50. [/QUOTE]
