why all the stink about supermotos...

....when we've had TTs for years and years?

is supermoto the result of europe "discovering" TT-style racing?

for the true inventor of Supermoto, though the name has
changed a few times.

bah, i think most of us who had enduro bikes have put streettires on them on
occasion. i did with a montesa cota 123 ages ago - changed the final
toothing, street tires etc... it's one of those things many people had done
before it was "invented"

 

define tt. there are plenty of tt competitions, i just think the definition
is different.

 

Define "tt"? We can't even define "hill".

 

pablo invented it:

There was no organized race though, as far as I know.
The Superbikers was the first dirt/street motorcycle
race on a purpose built course. There were GPs,
run through the streets for part of the lap but really
a desert race. There were enduros which used streets
to connect up sections of the course But nothing that
really followed the format of Supermoto, that I'm
aware of.

A transplanted one. Southern California based one who had lots of ideas and
the biggest stage for them
