PA must be different, i know for a fact you need 2 mirrors and DOT approved tires.

Seriously tho an MX bike is not reliable for cruising at 65 for extended periods of time.

I've wanted a supermoto bike for so long. :hs:

A 4 stroke MX bike that is properly geared for the street (think dual sport) is fine for cruising at 65+ for an extended period. A two stroke, however, is not.

i think i'd rather have a dual-purpose > supermoto simply because of where i live, in the city like you guys i'd def want the supermoto but around here with so many off road trails so readily available plus having the farm, dual-purpose all the way

That reminds me of the mini-bike in how to eat fried worms.

this would be sweet. if you wanted that eco-friendly ghetto thug look. I think this one was on Superbikes! a few weeks ago.

But I would have to go with the race-replica scooter
