Answer 1

Tomaliscooters.com version of a superbike is a joke. Those are pocketbikes.

Having gone too far down a few gravel roads on real superbikes: real superbikes have always (since the term was coined decades ago), sucked when not ridden on pavement.

To do so on pocket bikes? It could be interesting but your going to TRASH the bike in short order.

Answer 2

Are you high???

Answer 3

Sure. All the Factory Race Teams are going to them for the 2009 Supercross season.

Answer 4

Oh, yes. Quite well. Just change the street tires to knobbies, and you're all set.

Answer 5

I am no expert on Superbikes but I think only a nitwit would want to ride one off road.  

So I guess from my point of view the answer would be no.

Answer 6

Err........ NO.

Superbike as in this : http://www.mcnews.com.au/Wallpaper/Ducat...

No mate, this will not work off road.

After looking at what the website calls " superbikes " it would seem they have alot to learn !

Answer 7

I would stick with the CRF250 Honda as it's the "BEST" bike ever built,or ever will be.  

Answer 8

i suppose you could but it wouldn't be a very good idea

Answer 9

Hi Cloontroop1, I had to laugh when I first saw this question. But after a look at the tomaliscooters.com site you mentioned I can see what your getting at.

But the answer is still NO. superbikes dont work well off road.

When you mention superbikes on this site,   we generally think of something Bigger than a 70mph   110cc Motorcycle.

its more 170BHP 1000cc Superbikes

What your talking about we refer to as mini bikes.
