GSXR 1000 Dirtbike!!!!!
Its really too much a 1000cc off road... But I am now keeping my eyes peeled for a 600cc crashed.
This has the front suspension, front wheel and rear wheel from the front of a KX450, the fender of a KTM. Running stock rear suspension. It would be perfect in Supermoto dress, good for the street and the dessert.

For dirt there is such a thing as too much power, and too much weight just makes it worse. That bike is nothing but a ditch digger. I'll let you know if I need some 5" wide foot deep trenches dug.

The rider is as nuts as the bike.
Did you guys notice he was really forcefully yanking his weight around on the bike? I'm guessing that's what it takes to manoeuvre it. I bet it's hard work.

Yes 1000 cc’s is way too much. When I was younger I had a Honda 250 thumper and the light weight was useful when I got into muddy conditions.

it's not uncommon to see builds like this at the hillclimbs in the open hi mod class. Other than that and drag racing not so good. That thing would get destroyed on the trails or on the track by any decent dirtbike
Still cool for shootin some roost and chunkin knobbies though
