Maybe Supermoto as a sport of racing is dead or dying, but riding my CRF450R or KTM950SM on the street sure is more fun than riding a sportbike.

It could more of the business that are the US economy and laws, rather than a "dying sport".


Did you know a branch of Honda puts out factory SMs? Similar could be said for other manf. as well.

I think you are right about it not being a popularity issue. I suspect emissions and noise laws have a lot to do with it.

I really like that F450X. I don't like it to the tune of €9,050, but I do like it.

ETA: I like the 125R even more. ~40hp and under 200lbs sounds like a lot of fun.
