WR 450 Supermoto?

Does an 06 WR 450 F make a good supermoto for the street?

 

2 very long posts here on SMJ about what makes a good street tard:

OK cool, thanks I'll check it out.:up:

 

I've got an 06 WR450F supermoto street-legal tard and it is just plain badass. Tend to ride my stock DRZ SM more though because it seems more comfortable and quiet - better fuel economy as well.

 

What kind of fuel mileage are you getting on the WR?

 

Not sure exactly, but it can't be that great. The WR has the big carb, pipe, and shorter gearing. My DRZ has a 16T c/s sprocket on it and now gets better than 60 mpg even riding it hard.

 

If you're gonna pick a dirt bike to convert I'd say the WR is the one to use. I've had a couple of them, one I rode on the street for about two years nearly daily. Rock solid bad ass bikes.

 

Yes they Do, here is mine..........and head over to SMJ there is a few.

 

I get around 80 miles out of the stock tank with my 05. Do a search here, I know there's been a few threads about converting 450's.

 

Now that's a gas station chaser there..

 

Yeah, inconvenient but worth it.

At the time, my commute was 40ish miles 1 way, so it wasn't too bad filling up once a day.
I got a Valdeze (sp?) size tank with the bike, but it ruined the way the bike felt with it full.
