Pics of my SM...

That's supermotard, not S&M, so don't get too excited there

New to the site, just found it the other day - looks nice! I run the web board dedicated to Supermotard in Victoria, www.vsmr.net, but I've ridden road bikes for years and I'm now thinking that a bit of bike augmentation with a fighter would be just the trick so I'm looking around for ideas and at auction catalogues for R1's []

But anyway, here's a few pics of my ride, a 2001 DRZ400 that's duly been converted to motard by myself. The thing is an absolute blast to ride and zips down the reefton at a fair old clip, although isn't so great once the speed gets above 100-120 (all in a controlled environment blah blah blah ). It makes for a great commuter too and gets riden by myself into the city on a daily basis [8D]







Of course I'm a bit of a tinkerer so its not quite stock - apart from the obvious running-gear changes I've also done a bit of engine work courtesy of a big bore kit, higher cr wiseco slug and a pair of hotter cams (from, strangely enough, a mob called HotCams in the US). I've bolted that up to a fairly free flowing yoshi exhaust and opened up the airbox somewhat. There are more pics in the DRZ rebuild gallery on our website at:

Good to meet you guys and I hope you get the chance to pop over and check us out on www.vsmr.net as I reckon we share quite a few similarities to riding approach and the desire not to be one of the blind generic masses There's a few blokes over there who have more than a little interest in the streetfighter scene as well, so I'll be sure and spread the good word about [8D]

Hey, that looks like the end of my street - don't tell me you're a Blackburnian (or whatever they're called) too? [:0]

looks like the end of many victorian streets Russs,have you seen this hell man tearin up your tar? also looks like the driveway of a private rub n tug parlour i once visited but it didnt have charcoal concrete an the lawn was a bit more tidy an it was in Campbelltown nsw an they didnt have a letterbox or a garage door or any walls or even a tree out the front. but they'd probly just stolen a bike like that 1

I do recall the thump of a manic single every now and again come to think of it...or that could be the voices in my head....must go and see that shrink again []

just out of interest what is involved in the swap?

new wheels obviously, but stiffer springs and stuff?
what kind of cost are we looking at?

i wouldnt mind getting an offroad thumper and doing all the electrics from scratch to make a motard one day
