ok first off, what is a Supermoto? [quote]Supermoto is a cross-over or evolution of motocross and road racing. Races are commonly held on road racing or medium sized go-kart tracks with an off-road section in the infield. Most supermoto race tracks are typically configured with approximately 70% tarmac and 30% dirt with small jumps but a dirt section is not required. The motorcycles used are frequently custom-created combinations of off-road motorcycles and road-racing rims/tires, known as 'supermotard' bikes. Riders also wear a combination of road race and offroad equipment, normally leathers and a motocross helmet and boots. Unlike normal motorcycle racing, the emphasis lies on slower speeds—typically less than 100 mph (160 km/h)—short and twisty tracks, where rider skill matters far more than outright machine performance.[/quote] Supermoto or motard racing has been steadily rising to popularity in the Philippines and also in some countries. Due to the high prices of parts for motard conversion for pure enduro bikes, a lot of supermoto fans resort to modifying their underbones into motard mode. The favorite platform would be the honda xrm, but some underbone enthusiasts push mods to the limits just like the bike show winner here in Cebu PH, a honda wave125 converted into motard.
