just get a 950 or 990 SM if you want a road-legal version with an actual tank. Technically this bike really isnt much different from the bike its based on, same suspension, frame, brakes and engine. Just different seat, (oil)tank, radiators and plastics with some minor technical details (brake master cylinder etc...) yeah it looks slick but i doubt it rides very different to my 950 SMR.
Mikelikesbikes they already did. That bike is just a 690sm with a stroker kit. Nothing special there. Husqavarna makes a 700 Ducati made an 1100 hypermoto evo sp Honda makes a 1000 Africa twin Ktm makes a 1290 adventure
Paul Colburn, I'm afraid you don't appear to know anything about supermoto or indeed engine configurations. As Vaino says below, the 690 is a single. I know, because I have owned a KTM 690 SMC-R and put 10,000 miles on it, including multiple track days. The 790 engine is a twin. It will have different characteristics to the single - more torque, more power and a less narrow power band. The 690 revved to 7000 and only came alive from 5000 rpm plus. It was surprisingly quite a peaky bike. It also runs out of steam at circa 100-110 mph, depending on your gearing. This meant that it was not an ideal road bike or big track bike. But it was also a little heavy for proper supermoto, e.g. on small/kart tracks. I know this because I own and have raced a KTM 450 SMR. Husky’s ‘700’ is the 701, which is almost exactly the same as the 690 SMC-R. I have ridden several. They have a more or less identical engine, ie a big single. Again, different to the 790 twin engine. Ducati’s hypermotard 1100 is also a twin, but it is outdated and heavy. They make the 939 Hypermotard SP, their latest hypermotard, which I test rode not two weeks ago. It is nice - very very fast - but in my opinion over-priced (circa £13,500) again too heavy and many say they have reliability issues. I think it would be blown out the water by a 790 SMR. I have no idea why you have referred to the Africa Twin and the 1290 Adventure, they are adventure bikes and have nothing to do with the supermoto market.
one minute in and I was going to have a rant about 'Hipsters' - I take it all back - a real bike builder making good stuff, what a great fun bike . Also as usual fantastic cinematography by Jamie - a quality production all round - well done everyone !
More of these types of videos please! Delve more into the custom scene, more stories from bikers, loving it! Would have liked to have seen more of his shop and other bikes too btw. Love the travel stuff too, but it is nice to have some variety for sure. With jamie's infectious passion for these two wheeled machines, there is potential for some great content!
I love that the builder really didnt mind him beating the hell out of the bike on the "test drive". He just truly appreciates when someone enjoys his hard work & craftsmanship. That's how all builders should be. There's no satisfaction in building something you're only going to keep to yourself & probably rarely drive anyways.
Well, I guess that has some sort of wind deflector that pushes the air into it. Frankly, my LC4 (690 Duke) runs fairly cold in tropical 35-40c weather as far as I am moving. Once you are at stop-start traffic, the fan comes on and the thing starts to cook your bollocks slowly :) ... And the duke has a big front radiator that works well.... That's why I am wondering why you would mount a rad sideways. Sure it is cool, and the bike is skinnier, but not sure if it keeps the engine happy in all (or most) conditions.
how does putting the radiator sideways make the wheelbase shorter? Fork is at the same place, rear wheel is at the same place. Unless we are talking about removing a huge under-frame rad, then somehow chopping the frame shorter I don't see how placing it sideways make the bike shorter. It however makes it narrower. I actually think, that if you have a fan or deflector that pushes the air into it all it does is boil your knees. Looking at my Duke 690 -> air goes through, and hits the engine and goes around it Looking at my EXC -> air goes through forced in the opening the tank creates -> some vents on me , some hits the tank/engine and goes around it With this setup, it vents directly on your knee.... I mean you have to be on the bike to actually see how you are, but generally where that rad is where my knee would be on that bike ... or close to that....
cops are uneducated (unless motorcycle cop) so you just need it for the states that have inspection, and only at time of inspection, then you're ok. A lot of guys run without registration or a plate around here too. cops don't bother too much if you're in the city
What...an...amazing machine! i can definetly believe you'd feel like a fugitive from the law riding that! Top built! Everything just looks so clean and precisely built.Awesome!
Another MotoGeo video, another smile on my face !!! Congratulations for the quality of your job man ! The bike sound, the images... everything is very well build !! I've just got my Scrambler Ducati and I can't stop watching your videos !!! My Father also have a bike and I like to show him how you live ! Please continue this show !!! Cheers from Brazil !
Now this is my type of bike......Hats off to Max Hazan for creating a beautiful masterpiece. I wonder if Max has thought about selling the blueprint for this monster. :)
Ktm 990 smr, was awesome bike, fun to ride, everything worked perfect. I still miss it! Love to watch your videos, they put me on really good mood everytime! Thanks so much!
Great video but he sounds like he’s confusing the KTM Adventure and Supermoto. No-one could describe the latter as an Adventure bike. No screen, minimal fairing, cast wheels and road tyres, one piece flat seat just like the Acerbis one on the build, small tank range etc etc
02:09 It lost 150 pounds ?????? KTM 950 original: 187 kg (412 pound) KTM 950 (MaxH): ~122 kg (269 pound) KTM 450 EXC-F: 111 kg (245 pound) .. how is this even possible? After all, it's the same engine, same frame and same swingarm (either way, the bike looks amazing!)
I 've got to get myself one of these ... I wonder why KTM officials don't talk to this builder and have a small limited edition hitting the market ... sometime in the future , it'd be awesome ...
Amazing video one more time. But It has been a bit short!! I bet Jamie could do a few more nice videos with this guy. Many people interested in customization nowadays. Congrat's Jamie!
This guy understood the supermoto market.
This bike is just perfect. I would 100% buy this bike. Can someone from KTM make this bike available please
haha its funny because this is KTM (engine frame swingarm)
@@lukasraus3391 That's why he asked...
But it's not so much legal
@@tingel-tangelbob3122 why isn't it "not so much legal"?.
@@tingel-tangelbob3122 u didn't hear the guy
Its 100% street legal
this dude really makes rideable art pieces.. love his builds
You should honestly pitch this idea to Husqvarna or KTM. I really like it a lot. That is the perfect down town bike.
just get a 950 or 990 SM if you want a road-legal version with an actual tank. Technically this bike really isnt much different from the bike its based on, same suspension, frame, brakes and engine. Just different seat, (oil)tank, radiators and plastics with some minor technical details (brake master cylinder etc...) yeah it looks slick but i doubt it rides very different to my 950 SMR.
pitch what idea? The thing was already a supermoto when KTM made it, just heavy and ugly. All the guy did was make it look nicer and lighter.
@@elobiretv he did alot more than that.
@@2ane Right the bike that weighs 150lbs less handles the same as yours.
@@austen2382 there is no way this is 150 lbs lighter than a 950 SM unless you count fuel.
This is maybe the prettiest supermoto i have ever seen .. stunning
imagine if @KTM or @yamahaMotorGlobal collaborated ´n´ launched this SM + futuristic LWT DS ´n´ ADV Rally for riders to invest in
That SMR is a weapon. So hope that KTM pop the 790 engine in a supermoto frame....
Mikelikesbikes they already did.
That bike is just a 690sm with a stroker kit.
Nothing special there.
Husqavarna makes a 700
Ducati made an 1100 hypermoto evo sp
Honda makes a 1000 Africa twin
Ktm makes a 1290 adventure
Paul Colburn the smc 690 is a single cylinder which makes like 40 horsepower less than the inline 2 in the 790 duke. So no they haven't done it.
Mikelikesbikes and what do expect from such combination?
Paul Colburn, I'm afraid you don't appear to know anything about supermoto or indeed engine configurations.

Mikelikesbikes o
I like how he positioned the radiators so the make the bike slimmer, manufacturers should take note, truly a wonderful motorcycle.
Seen his work before. F'n awesome builder and artist. 150lbs off the KTM??? Man o man...
Great build, Jamie was so excited it even stalled on him! And he is a legendary rider!
One of my favorite builds of the year! Take it to the canyons next time!
Of all time! Light is right!! exactly what mc cmty been asking for + LWT low-tech affordable 450-650cc Dual Sport/ADV models
Reminds me of my SXV550. Oh i realy miss her now 😭
Maximus Potestas why did you dumbass sell such a precious bike
Do you miss the short interval maintenance periods? It's a great bike, but it's a full racing engine..
yeah I don't miss that at all... Looking forward to my Alta SMR :)
There's only one thing I like more than Max Hazan's creations, and that is Motogeo and Jamie ripping on it
one minute in and I was going to have a rant about 'Hipsters' - I take it all back - a real bike builder making good stuff, what a great fun bike . Also as usual fantastic cinematography by Jamie - a quality production all round - well done everyone !
I’ve had the privilege of meeting Jaime, and I’ve spent a day at Max’s shop, so this one made me really happy.
Want!
Kombi Life u need to upload more please
Super clean. My 990 Adventure Baja could definitely stand to lose 150lbs, but it's still surprisingly agile for a buffalo.
More of these types of videos please! Delve more into the custom scene, more stories from bikers, loving it! Would have liked to have seen more of his shop and other bikes too btw. Love the travel stuff too, but it is nice to have some variety for sure. With jamie's infectious passion for these two wheeled machines, there is potential for some great content!
The motorcycle cmty takes inspiration from hot road culture ´n´develops models due to non existing low tech affordable LWT models

The side facing radiators work well because supermotos are sideways 75% of thw time...
No really.. Why ???
The only stock motorcycle that I know used sideways rad is the benelli cafe racer and the tnt 899
Well, I guess that has some sort of wind deflector that pushes the air into it.
Frankly, my LC4 (690 Duke) runs fairly cold in tropical 35-40c weather as far as I am moving. Once you are at stop-start traffic, the fan comes on and the thing starts to cook your bollocks slowly :) ...
And the duke has a big front radiator that works well....
That's why I am wondering why you would mount a rad sideways. Sure it is cool, and the bike is skinnier, but not sure if it keeps the engine happy in all (or most) conditions.
LJ Prince honda vfr 750, honda firestorm/superhawk. It makes the wheelbase shorter.
how does putting the radiator sideways make the wheelbase shorter? Fork is at the same place, rear wheel is at the same place.
Unless we are talking about removing a huge under-frame rad, then somehow chopping the frame shorter I don't see how placing it sideways make the bike shorter.
It however makes it narrower.

With this setup, it vents directly on your knee.... I mean you have to be on the bike to actually see how you are, but generally where that rad is where my knee would be on that bike ... or close to that....
You can run a steeper rake because the radiator isn't in the way. I guess.
americans be like yeah it's street legal and then have no lights or blinkers or readable and tightly secured plate
Dont forget the slick tires....
cops are uneducated (unless motorcycle cop) so you just need it for the states that have inspection, and only at time of inspection, then you're ok. A lot of guys run without registration or a plate around here too. cops don't bother too much if you're in the city
Home of the Brave, land of the free.

Buhu
the best looking and best sounding supermoto hands down
What...an...amazing machine! i can definetly believe you'd feel like a fugitive from the law riding that! Top built! Everything just looks so clean and precisely built.Awesome!
That's the most beatifull beast of a supermoto I've ever seen!
Another MotoGeo video, another smile on my face !!!
Congratulations for the quality of your job man ! The bike sound, the images... everything is very well build !!
I've just got my Scrambler Ducati and I can't stop watching your videos !!! My Father also have a bike and I like to show him how you live !
Please continue this show !!!
Cheers from Brazil !
That's beats! I need this bike in my life.
Agreed
As the owner of a Husqvarna Nuda 900R, this build speaks to me on so many levels!
Super nice build. I hope you bought the guy a new rear tire.
That is the most wild, excellent, brilliant, beautiful and tough looking bike I've ever seen....
Absolutely amazing! As an ex-supermoto HOBBY rider, I will always love this street legal bikes! I want to work with you! Seems like dream job!!
My 950 so needs to lose weight I did love this set up great work fella
Wooohohohoooo I want this bike!! So nicely build. Great work man!!
I’ve been following Max on Instagram for a good while now and I’m always happy when I find a video with / about him.
Nice bike. Surprised he didn’t smack into something or someone flying round those corners.
Its pretty awesome to see some real creativity in the Supermoto world.
Now this is my type of bike......Hats off to Max Hazan for creating a beautiful masterpiece. I wonder if Max has thought about selling the blueprint for this monster. :)
Really stunning - Love that motor - now remade for Hooligan Heaven - Thanks so much for sharing this!
That sound 😍 brooommm.. broomm.. love so much 💞
That motorcycle is practically a Nuda 1001 if they ever made one today. Absolutely beautiful
Man that’s why I love bikes ... crazy machine...
Can’t wait to get my beast soon
i love his machinery as much as his creations
Ktm 990 smr, was awesome bike, fun to ride, everything worked perfect. I still miss it! Love to watch your videos, they put me on really good mood everytime! Thanks so much!
Beautiful work. Thanks.
jamie just got back to the uk from my trip to corsica all i can say is wow you have just got to go there and do a blog its amazing.
Great video but he sounds like he’s confusing the KTM Adventure and Supermoto. No-one could describe the latter as an Adventure bike. No screen, minimal fairing, cast wheels and road tyres, one piece flat seat just like the Acerbis one on the build, small tank range etc etc
Looks and sounds so beautiful, I need to watch this video again and again.
Sickest supermoto ive seen love it beautiful creation
amazing, bike, builder and host. well done!!!!!
That's very cool! I just bought a new Husqvarna 701SM. it's more fun than a person should be allowed to have!
Wow i wish we had custom shop like this in india love from india brother n thanks for showing this incredible machine.
950CC SMR. Owwwwwww Myyyy Goooood. Pure ktm heart. I lıke that this bike 🔥🔥🔥😍😍😍
That’s sounds like a beast should make more of this bike 🤘🏻👑
Amazing bike...love it. Interesting that 159 haters give the vid a thumbs down.
Amazing as always. I became such a great fan. Real Bike passion.
Now that is a super cool build.
Mate this looks incredible. Best looking SM I’ve ever seen
Beauty ❤️, this build has inspired me to build a bike for my self
So sick nice build dude
Max the bike looks great way to go!
Max, do your own supermoto production!
That bike looks amazing and sounds even better. I am a sucker for super motos.
Love his work, he makes some really badass bikes
Ok, dream changed! This will be my first list dream bike!
That FCR sounds like music :)
Coolest Bike I have EVER seen!, would buy it!
Instant subscribe from me. This is epic. Great episode - hopefully you can make it up to SF / Bay area !
I wish he would give my smcr a makeover. Man that bike was sick
I got a 690 sm, all it needs is more power. This would be perfect! What an awesome machine!
Crazy machine...all supermoto bikes should have the same performance in stock 👺😋
Amaaazing video !! (and I rarely comment) Great bike, great test rider! good luck to you, and the builder
02:09 It lost 150 pounds ??????
KTM 950 original: 187 kg (412 pound)
KTM 950 (MaxH): ~122 kg (269 pound)
KTM 450 EXC-F: 111 kg (245 pound)
.. how is this even possible? After all, it's the same engine, same frame and same swingarm
(either way, the bike looks amazing!)
i also think that sounds like a lot , even if everything was carbon including rims - still, super cool bike
I own a Aprilia SXV 550 so I understand what he is talking about!
Amazing! I wanna build one now!
Amazing built, love it!
But where did you put the tank, it must be somewhere below the seat or in the rear???
Wow!!! Subscribed on the strength of one vid. Looking forward to checking you out properly.
SICK!!!! Want 1. Like the white Rc in background tooo
A video about bike would have been nice with a good walk around of the bike and less drone shots or closeup of the tail,
Awesome looking bike.. could you give a detailed list of the custom changes that you have made please
What a beautiful bike. Well done 👍
Dude this Bike is fantastic! Come to the swiss alps with this Bike. your welcome
Very cool bike, one of the few 4strokes i would love to have.
What can i say... PIECE OF ART
Nicely done! I would buy one in a second.
Top artist! Visualy, one of the best ever!!
🤯 It’s awesome! That needs to go into production.
Loved this video! Looking forward to seeing another vid with Alex!
I 've got to get myself one of these ... I wonder why KTM officials don't talk to this builder and have a small limited edition hitting the market ... sometime in the future , it'd be awesome ...
Amazing video one more time. But It has been a bit short!! I bet Jamie could do a few more nice videos with this guy. Many people interested in customization nowadays.
Congrat's Jamie!
Epic works, epic style !!!! Cool guys.
Thats so nice ! Truely in love with that thing . design is perfect and still slinder
WTF!!!
Maybe the best supermoto i've seen before!
Such a sick supermoto and video! 🔥
Sounds beastly I need one asap!
nothing like endangering other people, thumbs up guys
It's better to see that beast runs in the wild 😁😎✌️
KTM should hire this man.
Wow, looks like a blast!
Geez, let Max talk!!! Way more interested in what such a legend might say...
Man il love to get one like that!!
Thats an amazing looking and sounding bike.
This bike is just perfect.
Very cool and interesting! 👍
