Supermoto?

Is ama supermoto even still around? 

I ride/race supermoto. The official AMA Series has been gone since 2009. 

There's still the SMEC Series which is AMA sanctioned (racesmec.com). 

There are clubs out there. I live in the PNW so we have Northwest Mini Moto and Cascadia Supermoto. 

There's also a Norcal series. I'm sure it's the same way throughout the US, club racing. 

It's too bad because SM is just as fun (or more fun) than moto. Highly underrated. 

I did a couple track day on a DRZ400SM, loved it so I drove 8 hours to get this. It is nasty!

The Duel at the Docks supermoto race at the Queen Mary in Long Beach in 2006 was one of the coolest races I’ve been to. 

Im not really into supermoto, but there was the FIM Supermoto of Nations in Germany a week ago. 

You're so cool for pulling up a 20 yr old thread 

Supermoto is the funnest thing you can do on two wheels and that is a hill I will die on. 

There was a bit of a resurgence in Australia - A very cool annual event was run on closed inner-city streets in Newcastle for a few years - the promoter eventually went bust.
Some Supermotos racing at tar only road race events, and in SEQ “Minimoto” practice days at Kart Tracks there are sometimes enough Supermotos for 2 groups.

I enjoy the tar only events in my old age. We used to have a few meetings a year at a little track that really suited them.
I also have a fire breathing Husky 701SM that is my favourite street bike. And I’ve tracked it a few times - a bit heavy for racing.

That thing is sick! You should let Kevin Sherman test it by the way 😀

Had a blast racing SM back in the day. 

I could nail the starts but sucked on the pavement sections (STD street tires) but made up for it in the dirt going back around them.

Ocala Florida had a good track too.

One of Mark Burkhart's pit guys was a RonRonMX regular. He invited me and my son to hang out in the pits at the Reno Supermoto, I think in 2005. It was the year Travis ate crap doing freestyle and had a black eye.  I know, I know, that could be any year.  But I think it was when he tried a 360 and it didn't go well.  Either way, it was pretty fun hanging out in Burkhart's pit. He's just a normal guy but just a bit faster...

You just revived an 18 year old thread. Gibby hated that… lol 

The wife and I just went riding on Wednesday at Herrin compound in Dublin Ga. I love supermoto!

These are from the first track day class I did at a local speedway.

When i made the switch from dirt to asphalt I started with a mini SM. That bike was a blast

Ran a race in the spring on my 400 with Canadian Supermoto, down a bit on power but had fun!

My young lad loves it, doesn't want to ride dirt at all anymore really

Supermoto needs to make a comeback in the USA!

Its HUGE in Quebec! Just drive up to the land of Maple syrup and poutine!

good luck finding the tracks though, the signs there are all french with no english. Fuggin Quebec...

We have nothing around here.  I have been taking advanced track training that the state offers to get some riding in.

Cant remember the name of it but there was a track in NJ is it still going?

Some of those Euro tracks were wild.  Concrete jumps, berms they would just lean it over, and concrete whoops. 

Same turn 

“Popeye” #4, was so much faster with the knee down style, I changed my style  (he’s just faster than me regardless)

That race was 110% how supermoto should be! Hard dirt section and cool and fast asphalt, down town somewhere. That race where Travis Pastrana ate dirt that season (mountain resort if memory serves correctly) was also great!

That would be the New Jersey Motorsports Park (NJMP). I haven't checked their schedule to see if they still run there.

Englishtown has that road race track & it would be cool if they could make it happen there.

The height of supermoto was awesome. Reed at the height of his career racing on pavement in the middle of the season? Can't imagine teams allowing that today. Loved gear companies like Thor making leather versions of their gear. Also loved how old guys like Henry, MC, Wardy would just blow by the young dudes.

Bushnell FL has a gocart road course that I frequently see supermoto bikes on, and it's on the same property as Bushnell MX. You could actually ride moto and road in the same day by swapping wheels.
