That dirt tire should have been shredded in those first few blips of the throttle. Kids and their toys.

I would have thought the front end would have come up easier.

That was posted back in September.
Surely its hit the dirt in that time.

It doesn't look too bad to be honest.
Weight will be a problem but on some flat sand or gravel,
Get the swing arm lengthened and it would be a hill climbimg monster.

I think it wasn't wheelie-ing much because of the WAY softer suspension and the weight of the bike... just an uneducated guess. Plus I bet those knobbies spin pretty easy under so much power.

I wanna see that on gravel roads!

Looks pretty custom- too bad. I so badly wanted a production street legal supermoto/dirt style bike with 600ccs and fuel injection.

Aprilia and Husky...expensive, more extensive maintenance.

Looked around a bit and took home a Versys. It's a different style, but I like it.
