This is my Supermoto, my KTM 450 EXC
This is my first SuperMoto
And this is my first non-Japanese bike. I admit I did have to leave my comfort zone a little bit when I bought this bike. When I first got the bike it reminded me of the fall season thanks to the colors. Which is why I named this bike Autumn. I bought the bike already converted to being street legal with the Baja Designs kit. I was the one who supermoto’d the bike though with some gorgeous Warp 9 Wheels.
I’m still new to the bike and learning it every time I ride it, but so far so good it’s a great bike!

Warp 9 Super Moto Wheels
These SuperMoto wheels cost A LOT, like $1,500. I did ball out quite a bit on them though. They are the CUSH hub wheels (which makes it super smooth!) a floating 320mm Front Disk. A brand new chain, 42T rear sprocket. Black rims, black spokes, black hubs, and orange nipples. These wheels look amazing and feel great! I got them also with Michelin Power 2CT’s on them.
Chain Adjusters
These Chain adjusters are awesome! They make adjusting the chain so much easier and they were very affordable! I’m overall super happy with them, installation was easy and quality is excellent. I highly recommend these! Great for those who hate adjusting their chain!
SUMO front fender
A dual sport fender on a supermoto just feels wrong. This was a cheap solution to that. The color matches perfectly and the quality is decent. Well worth it, especially when you consider the value I got from this thing. $25, not bad at all!
CRG Bar End Mirror
Not having a mirror drives me nuts. The mirrors that came on my bike were absolute crap $5 eBay mirrors. I couldn’t see anything behind me which is dangerous. These CRG mirrors look amazing, are foldable, have ZERO vibrations, and I can see well behind me. Great investment I’m really happy I went with these.

Baja Designs Kit
Can’t say much about this as it was already installed by the previous owner. Pretty solid kit though. Looks good and everything functions well.
Trail Tech Vapor
I admit it, i’m a sucker for a tachometer. I hate not knowing what my RPM’s are. I also really like the screen on the vapor, it’s easy to read and very functional. I do wish it had a gear indicator though… oh well.

Optional Radiator Fan
Overheating is no joke and one of the few bad things the RFS motor is known for. Overheating mainly occurs from slow trail riding which obviously won’t be what I do with this bike. However, I like the peace of mind so I got it anyway.
