Is an XR100 a sportbike?

Here's what I do with it:

I do have a SV650S, an RS125, a KX80 motard, a GL1100A GoldWing, a 67 HondaCT90 and an old XL600R, too.

Man, with those skinny little tires, it looks like a 10 speed bicycle :lol: The guy behind you is looking a little intimidated!

Stock tire sizes, but the front is a race compound Avon so it sticks pretty well. I was sliding the rear, a BT45, a lot. By next season I have another set of wheels I'm going to lace 17s on for 125GP slicks, but the DOT stuff works okay and is great for wet weather. We've got a stock motor in it now. Soon as the BBM motor gets here, we'll be up front. Didn't do bad, though, at Katy, 7th overall and third "superbike". We can use the slicks on dry days, especially for the six hour. But, the pegs get on the ground now and then as it is with the DOT stuff, so I have to figure what I'm going to do about that. Probably just try cutting some of the peg off at the bottom for now.

Shyah, right....When I grow up, I'd like to be 1/10th as skilled as you.

Awesome pic.
