I recently sold my track project bike because the aftermarket parts were too hard to find for a 1995 bike. Now I have $2500 burning a hole in my pocket. My initial thought was to get a more track ready bike. There are plenty available between $2500-$3000. But the enduro/motard bikes have peaked my interest. There are a handful of 400cc-500cc bikes availabe in the same price range. And I don't need another Buell, so lets not go there  If it was your money, what would you do? | ||

"If it was your money, what would you do?" I'd pay down some debt, buy a fishing license and some fresh flyline, maybe a small canoe or kayak, and go fishing. | ||

I'd go for whatever type competition is most predominant in my area. With Super Moto being so popular at Road America, I think I would go in that direction. Plus, it compliments your regular track day skills. | ||

Suzuki DRZ-400sm yeah baby, that is definately my next bike...well, I want one anyway....may never happen...anywho... go with motard..more fun....i think Chase | ||

NO Wait! I have a better Idea. If your money was mine I'd spend $5000 of my (your) Money and buy my (my) Sprint ST so that I could get my SMR sooner. Bob | ||

One really neat thing about a Super Moto is you can set up your own BattleTrax Facsimile and practice between track sessions. You already know the routine. Just add a stop watch and a few friends and you have a full day of low cost excitement. Not to mention it is a lot easier on your back than an enduro or most other dirt sports. | ||

I'd buy a bunch of white spray paint.  | ||

Brent...have you seen my bike After some serious concideration, I've decided to buy some track bodywork (after I already sold what I had). The rest of the money will go towards a trailer, gas & track time. If I still have the itch next year, then I'll probably look for a use DR-Z with motard tires. A set of dirt rims should be cheap enough for the occasional travels into the northwoods of Wisconsin. | ||

Sounds like a well thought out plan to me!  | ||

My first SuperMoto, bought last October:  My second SuperMoto, recently completed:  I think you can guess what I'd recommend getting... | ||

Thats what I'm talkin bout!! Bob How do you like the Husky? | ||
| Chadleys1 |
 I am thinking about getting a dualsport, myself. That type of riding is way too much fun. Maybe I should try to buy that cool supermoto from Roadthing? I would like to have a bike like the one in the picture. I don't guess Buell will ever build something like that. | ||

Chadley: Everything I own is for sale. We can talk. rt | ||
