looking to get into super moto

[ride929rr]

ive been looking around for a while now. but really undecided on what size thumper i should get for my first soon to be motard. everyone says if you want a reliable bike go for the drz 400, but the only problem ive heard about that is that they are underpowered . really i dont want a bike that i am going to get bored of in one year and have to go threw the trouble of having to sell the bike and buy a bigger bike. so really what i am trying to get at is should i get the 400 and put work into it or just wait and get a 450- 525? what would be the best bet for getting into super moto?

Street? Track?
Makes a BIG difference.

PK said it best... jack of all trades = a master of none.
Not to rain on the parade, but you should pick a focus... street with occasional track duty = DRZ.
Track = 450 CRF with a BUNCH of mods.

If you're just getting into it, get the DRZ, you'll have a blast on the street and you could still rock track days no sweat. Once you start to get faster you'll want the 450, but that comes with a price... less streetability, more maintenance, etc.

Bottom line is get a motard, start doing trackdays and never look back.
So much fun.

Yea, you probably wouldn't be able to handle the power...my bad

KTM 525 EXC......

Amazing street manners for a dirtbike, smooth engine, smooth shifting, lots of power+torque, and the 6spd gearbox lets you keep a low final drive gear (hooliganisms) and still have some top end or even cruising speeds. And it only weighs in around 250-260 lbs
