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 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, things started to turn when I later piloted the giggle-fest that was a
Honda CRF150R. 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, 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.
