i liked the new wr250X supermoto, but felt the small cc and wierd and tall styling was to much for some people, so i drew a slimmed down, lowered, sportbike geometried bike.

i think the supermonos are an awsome idea, but i still like the dirtbike aspect of supermoto, so, why not combine kneedragging and dirtbike ergos?

Play some TT or MotoGP....you'll see why pretty quickly. ;) You either slide the rear or you drag a knee, doing both will probably mean you're gonna slide the bike.

bah! video game prove nothing! ive seen plenty of supermoto racers drag knee... its not uncommon.

ever see someone with a ducati hypermotard at a track day? knees to the ground with em', no scratchiness in their form! the project im planning should have a similar geometry to them

so, no one answered my question, did my price seem reasonable?

The problem with any custom job is that you need to find the right buyer - so it might be a longer sale. With the 08s going out the door at $7000, I think you'd need to be at least a grand less than that for the general population.

I agree with Tom that you either have to be cheaper to sell it to "anyone", or you need to find someone who will fall in love with the custom work you have done. I'd start high and see the type of responses I get... and slowly drop the price as time goes by without offers.
