Gina, are you looking for general Motard information? Or, looking for someone in Vegas that rides a motard on the track?

Supermoto usually refers to the actual racing that has a dirt / flat-track / paved course. Motard generally refers to a motorcycle that is dirtbike with street wheels/tires.

Just thinking of motard options and converting for a mx/dirt bike for go kart or supermoto track. Just really need wheel/spacing etc info. I'm looking at a 150 but being that its so little i don't know if it still takes 17 inch wheels or do i go smaller?

I've mentioned to a buddy of mine that honda came out with a 230 cc SM but he said it would be too slow, but thinks i would like the 150.

The smaller ones would be alright for track use - though the motors tend to be high maintenance if you are running them non-stop. If you want it for the street at all - I would go larger.

it would be mainly for the track. I saw one on CL for 2k, either 06 or 07. I wouldn't run it on the street though, i'm accepting my limitations as a midget, the ones i can run on the street is too tall for me, and i dont' want a slammed to the ground motard. With extra wheels i would just trailer it offroad, a smaller bike would be easier for me anyway in the dirt, since right now i'm pretty much on baby trails on the DR.
