New trail bike

[thefirstzukman]

I have been riding the trails around Utah for many years, and have had several different bikes along the way. Most of them have been CR250s but the last one has been a TW200. I have enjoyed the tw very much but I have decided to move on to what I think will be even better...

In February I bought a KLX250sf Supermoto and I have enjoyed getting in trouble on it, but I find that I want more power for off road then my tw and I don't ride the KLX as much as I would want so last week I ordered a set of 17" off road tires and a skid plate for my KLX. The rear is a 130/90/17 and the front is a 100/100/17. It think it will be a good mix for most trails, narrower tires that the tw but wider than most dirt bikes. Also a low seat height that makes riding the technical stuff easier.

I will in turn sell the TW and purchase suspension parts of the new buggy I am building

Here is a pic of the new bike wearing factory skins

And the TW it is replacing

Here is a Suzuki Supermoto with knobby tires

I bet that DRZ goes like hell with those fatties on it. That would be fun to ride on a trail to try it out.

sounds like a plan, out of town this week so maybe next week.
I will be riding it up on skyline this weekend, staying the weekend at our farm in Indianola. Lots of riding in that area, even access into Payson canyon

Honestly, some of the most fun I had on my CRF was on my SM wheels/tires

Put 30 miles on the bike today, no single track but I got to test some things. Feels good, lugs well and has lots of get up. I changed the rear sprocket from a 39 tooth to a 47 tooth so that made a big difference. Still have the power to take it to about 80 if I need but cruises around 60 fine.
