The supermoto scene is really starting to kick-off. Much of its popularity can be put down to the following; a) its fun and exciting, b) its appeals to motorcyclists from a range of backgrounds (i.e. off-road guys, roadrace guys, speedway...), c) its reasonably affordable and d) its about rider skill - not who has the most powerful or expensive machine.

Perhaps your first step to becoming involved in supermoto is to watch some racing and see if the sport is for you. The pro-riders series looks fast, intense and damn scary, but if you look around you'll find a few other supermoto series look a bit more inviting. Unlike other forms of racing, you'll find the supermoto pit areas 'open' which will give you the opportunity to meet the racers, look at their bikes and perhaps ask some questions (they are a friendly bunch).
