Nice, I was at Blackhawk at the beginning of the month and had a similar experience on my Sv650, struggled to pass on the straights and held up by everyone in the corners. Really fun track though

Dont know how much you care, but you got another sub, cuzz my lord do you have the setup im straving for, a 700cc supermoto for daily and some track and a 450 for just the track

[himathperera]

what is the top speed on crf 450 if you geared it for road use ? Just give a rough number. Anyway enjoying these track day videos ❤

[crashed]

The 450 should have a ton of grunt. It seems like you could easily be a gear higher, and install a bigger front sprocket to give it more legs as well.

I have a 2020 690 smcr that I just took to a big track and my local kart track! Great bike if you can only have 1. Although I know better than to try a 450 at the kart track. I plan on gearing the 690 a little more aggressive and trying to Shave off a few lbs of weight. Any recommendation on track day tires? Currently running S22’s

What about fitting a 16.5 to the front of the 690 for track days?
