roadracing a 450 supermoto

It's a cut and rewelded FS450 unit, 2016 IIRC.

 

That's the plan this year if everything works out! Hank can smoke me at another form of racing.

 

I’ve been curious about trying flat style lowering for road racing. Kinda make it a lightweight hooligan bike. Seems like it could work pretty well.

 

Thanks for the summary. How was reliability for you and were you checking valves regularly?

My big track days are probably done, but it's interesting to see how the bikes hold up to it.

 

Reliability was great. I rebuilt the top end before the season and set the valves then. Change the oil every weekend. Had zero issues and put about 40hrs of hard abuse on it. Brainerd beats on motor like this.
