    It'd handle crazy weird, you might have to just save up. If you are just looking to commute slowly, you might be okay...

    Any of the spoked wheels will need tubes unless you do a conversion to tubless. But yes just the normal dirt tire tube.

    you should definatly try sportsman out, unless you are for sure that you want sumo.

    i know kevins kits at EPIC come with both brake rotors and a rear sprocket, with the front being a sweet ass oversized rotor.

    tell him you want the warp9 kit.




    i have both a crf450 and a crf250 supermoto in my garage. and i wish i knew about warp9 and epic before i dropped over $1600 apiece on each kit. (spread out over 2 years)
