Super Moto Race Bike
Street Race Bike
Super Moto or Street race bike?
I have been getting the itch to start racing bikes and I am wondering which is easier/cheaper/more fun; A Super Moto or a Street race bike? I am sort of leaning for super moto because they look fun and easier to fix after crashes, also I can also do dirt trailed with a super moto.

SUMO= way cheaper, tons of fun (more for me) and less politics (for now).
Sumo = Awesome fun, way cheaper to race and the current group of riders are all very friendly and will help you out if you have any problems!

Motard all the way

Well that's easy... I voted SuMo because, well, come on. But if she wants to finance the season, go sport bike racing!

There....fixed that for you.
In all honesty. I love racing the street bike, but it is more expensive. Tires are more, entry fees are more, just about everything is more. I've been on a sumo just a couple of times, and have to admit that it's really fun.
Racing is one of the most fun things I've ever done. Highly addictive, incredibly fun and I think you'll find that no matter where you race there will be a sense of "family" associated with it.
Best in your decision!

I voted Super Moto, but thought everybody should see what it might lead too:
Dirt Bike Based 450cc Single Cylinder Road Racer
Does anybody on this board run one of these?

I got the chance to ride one of these at Miller earlier this year, and while it was cool, I have to say for the 12-15K it costs there are WAY more fun options out there.

Sometimes it just takes awhile for stuff to catch on out here in the hay field.

Seems like a nice winter project in the making. Pickup up a nine-ninety-niner from the Tri-City Cycle shop and slap a fairing on it.
Would it be a good fit for Erie or Mead maybe?
