It’s finally happened. I bought a bike. For the first time in over a decade I own a motorcycle again. For all these years I never found the need to actually buy another bike, especially since I’ve got new ones to ride all the time, but the bug finally bit me. So what did I buy? A Suzuki (http://www.motorcycle.com/manufacturer/suzuki.html) RM85 converted to full supermoto trim.
Huh?
That’s right, I bought a children’s dirt bike, and a two-stroke at that – one of the few bikes we don’t generally get our hands on at Motorcycle.com. But this wasn’t a decision taken lightly. Despite the terrible time I had racing a modified Honda Grom (http://www.motorcycle.com/features/24-hours-of-grom.html), things started to turn when I later piloted the giggle-fest that was a Honda CRF150R (http://www.motorcycle.com/features/racing-a-honda-crf150r-is-minibike-racing-the-way-it-should-be.html). At that point I was fairly certain minimoto (as in, mini-supermoto, not to be confused with pocketbikes) was for me, but I had to narrow down what I would get. After many conversations with my mini-riding friends, along with test rides on a couple bikes, including, most recently, the lesson in patience that is the Kymco K-Pipe 125 (http://www.motorcycle.com/features/twice-around-the-clock-on-a-kymco-k-pipe-125.html), the stars aligned and I became the owner of a 13 year-old Suzuki. Now it’s fair to say I’ve caught the minimoto bug. Here are 10 reasons why you should, too.
