Train of Supermotos Slaying the Tail of the Dragon

[@briangc1972]

What most people did not notice is how smoothly these guys were riding. When watching other videos, the riders are not as smooth and fluid in their movements. These guys were like a school of fish.

[@MotoAtheist]

I don't know about that, if they were being smooth you wouldn't see such abrupt take offs and slow downs and there were plenty of 3 point turns being made, not holding their lines.

[@deltabluesdavidraye]

This is not a racetrack for idiots

[@aaronpatterson1713]

😂I was behind you guys with my hazards on!!

[@kawasakiz76]

Looks like I'm going to have to load up the DRZ and head back! Great video!!

[@mandonini_]

Nice one. Greetings from Croatia 🇭🇷🔥

[@alwaysalphaofficial]

I like your camera settings, it actually looks like you’re riding at a solid pace.

[@sternlyprimes]

Thanks! The boys were definitely moving at a fun pace

[@bobbygurganus2639]

Great riding skills. Harley people need to get a Supermoto and ride. I can say that I have a Harley and a Supermoto!

[@williambutler3630]

Living near The Dragon, people don’t know how little top speed you can get up to, so small, lightweight bikes with short gearing will catch even all but the top of the expert category on even a liter bike. On average, more powerful dual sports and super motos are the fastest bikes to take on a Dragon run. You can build a lot of speed on the Cherohala, and that’s a different story, but just the Dragon, little bikes with short gearing are usually the fastest if the rider knows what s/he’s doing.

[@MotoAtheist]

That's a bunch of garbage. With a sport bike, they just need to keep the revs up where the torque/power is and they will smoke these super motos and dual sports. All you have to do is look at race track times and sport bikes are always on top at every single track.

[@waynedbu]

That’s awesome. Looks like a lot of fun!!

[@sternlyprimes]

It's always a great time up there. I need to finish editing our rampart ride

[@ShiftQuick]

Yeah buddy! Quick and clean

[@petearchie61]

Good video, I don't have the bike for riding like that.( bmw k1300s) but its also the reason why I will only ride the dragon on a weekday better chance of not having to share the road with big groups like these guys.

[@jamesransom3]

Fun pass on the TotD.

[@bobbygurganus2639]

Remember to have a Great time riding & enjoy the life

[@NayAwayy]

Yall are so cool!

[@rnat9246]

Scary to watch. Stones and gravel could cause unexpected outcome.

[@Drillinanpiping]

I’m really thinking about a DRZ or a 690/701 because I’m a bigger guy. I 280lbs on the DRZ might be too much but any input would be appreciated. Great vid

[@Thatdualsportguy]

Go for the drz it's more affordable than the KTM 690 (looked into that a while back) and at my heaviest I was 250 and have had my drz off road, jumped small hills, topped at 86mph on stock gearing, and since 2013 I've put this bike through extensive hell and a couple of crashes and only just recently had to replace the head (only half my fault I overtightened the sparkplug and wore out the threads and the guy I took it to put a helix coil in and did a terrible job on it so I had to replace it)

[@billywinningham8879]

Seems something was fishy all that speeding along that far and never run up on a car going the same way 😊

[@freeride6073]

Nice to see that everyone stayed in their lane as far I could see and nobody crashed. Too fast and too close together for my liking and skills . Nice scenery, too bad you didn't take the time to enjoy it . Ride safe . Safe as could be 😮

[@MotoAtheist]

They clearly have been down this road many, many times so I would imagine they have enjoyed the scenery before.

[@Harley_2023_richieg]

How do you brake on a SuperMoto when riding like this? Is it front or back?

[@JonTheOutdoorsman]

the same way you would on any bike

[@Harley_2023_richieg]

@@JonTheOutdoorsman So you ride? and you've ridden SuperMoto? On the Tail of the Dragon? Sport bikes you typically use the front and cruisers the back so again...I'm wondering how you brake one of these on this type of ride.

[@JonTheOutdoorsman]

@@Harley_2023_richieg yes I ride a supermoto. Never been on the dragons tail but rule of thumb is, straight line you use 70% front 30% rear. When youre in a curve, both brakes but heavier in the rear so you dont lock the front and crash. Handle bars turned, all rear. Thats for every bike. I don't see why cruisers would only use rear brake as the front brakes make up 70-80% of your stopping power. Plus you'll skid out in case of emergency

[@Harley_2023_richieg]

@@JonTheOutdoorsman awesome answer. Exactly what I was looking for.

[@JonTheOutdoorsman]

@@Harley_2023_richieg ride on buddy !

[@sendysent]

Cool video! Is not using stabilization the new thing? Haha Am I missing something?

[@sternlyprimes]

I prefer stabilization off when street riding. Do whatever makes you happy

[@deltabluesdavidraye]

Slow down criminals slow down

[@deandee8082]

surprised you didn't see the calamari kid or one of his crew from the infamous calamari kingdom wrapped up in a ditch? maximum risk... day off perhaps? those guys literally have tentacles hanging off their back of their bikes..

[@Miragayodmojer]

top speed?

[@sternlyprimes]

35 mph

[@Miragayodmojer]

@@sternlyprimes too slow?

Separation anxiety or something, why else would you want to be inches from the others.

[@ZabDevin]

Only one needs to go down and there will be a domino effect. Riding way too close. 🙄😏

[@only1qu386]

"Only one...", ahhhh, so if the guy in the back goes down, we get to see them all go down. 👍

[@ZabDevin]

[@kolsen6330]

A bunch of squids riding each others butts so that if one goes down, they all go down. These are the kind of fools I stay away from so I dont get involved in their crash. Also the reason I ride solo.
