- Just giving the why, advantages, and disadvantages of the different body positions in supermoto! Hope this helps. If you can make it out to the school we'd love to have you!
The best advice ever. Lucky American mates who have the chance to attend your lessons in person.
Fly over to the colonies and ride w us!!
@@socalsupermoto It's a bit of a long and expensive trip from Australia, but man, if granted, I won't miss the chance to ride with you.
Yep. You only need to look at S1GP to see all styles. Old guard like Chareyre favour foot-out but new fast guys like Cortes are knee-down a lot and quite a few are neutral - even MRS. There's a huge upset in balance when you move on a SM - all that travel makes a big shift which slows you down I think. My crappy times were always better neutral, with a little knee (more head) coming out of long sweeps -just to get the gas on earlier.
im with you!
Such a cool and concise advice Brian!! I’ll be going in pretty soon !!!
much appreciated!
Is there a traction disadvantage from raised foot pegs? With neutral / upper body leaned off position, there isn't enough room for the foot + footpegs at speed. I have to take my foot off the pegs, or the side of the boot and peg scrape the tarmac. The tires feel like they have grip remaining, there's just stuff in the way of carrying more speed pushing 60 degrees :-/
if you're dragging pegs you have a few options. First thing is faster transitions. That's the best trick for spending less time at maximum lean and tightening up lines. Faster transtitions allow you to carry more average lean while having less maximum lean and it's the most under talked about thing in supermoto. 2) get more nuetral and don't push the bike down so hard, basically start leaning at the same rate as teh bike like the nuetral s1gp riders. 3) after doing that sure get some higher pegs. all good just not always comfy
@@socalsupermoto Makes a lot of sense, thank you!!
Love to make it out to ride one day
lets goooooo!
Can I ask you if it’s worth if getting a supermoto? I’ve been really interested in one but I just can’t seem to pull the trigger. I’ve got three bikes right now, Sportster S, Z H2 and TNT135
Supermoto is for sure worth it!
100% worth it if you've got a go-kart track nearby. 450cc motards are the closest cousin of motogp bikes. So many G's, so much 2 wheel drifting that somehow doesn't feel sketchy. If 20 hour valve jobs aren't your thing, the DRZ is an absolute riot too.
Oh man once you get a supermoto the others will just sit there. Do it!!!
@@socalsupermoto which supermotos would you recommend? I’ve been looking at the ktm/husq/gasgas trio vs the ducati 698. Should I even start with those or go with something else? Thanks for all the help!
Those are street bikes kinda pretending to be dirtbikes, you want an actual dirt bike frame like a DRZ or a 450. @@Diabeekei
