Review
The 2004 GAS GAS SM 450 offers a raw and engaging supermoto experience. Powered by a 399cc engine and featuring a 6-speed gearbox, it prioritizes nimble handling and punchy acceleration. Its lightweight design, tipping the scales at just 105 kg, contributes to its agility on the road or track. The 900mm seat height provides a commanding riding position, offering good visibility and control. Equipped with a Marzocchi inverted fork at the front and a single disc brake, this bike delivers responsive suspension and confident stopping power. The 9.5-liter fuel tank provides a reasonable range for shorter rides, while the overall design emphasizes simplicity and performance. It's a machine built for riders who appreciate the direct connection to the road and the thrill of cornering. This supermoto is best suited for experienced riders seeking a focused and engaging experience. Its lightweight chassis and responsive engine make it a fun choice for carving up twisty roads or honing skills on the track. While it may lack some of the creature comforts of modern bikes, it offers a pure and unfiltered riding experience that's sure to put a smile on your face.
