What MX bikes come with the supermoto kit i have heard that the Honda CRF's do??

Thinking of YZF, CRF etc.

KTM, Gas Gas and Husaberg have Supermoto models but none of the japanese companies have pure MX bikes that come with a Supermoto package. There are plenty of aftermarket companies like MotoMaster that can fill the void though.

Suzuki is coming out with a DR-Z450 based street motard this coming model year. But Rich is right on the rest. Only the Euro-bikes(KTM, Husky, Husaberg, Gas-Gas) seem to be putting out motards right now.

Unfortunately the Suzuki is based on the street version of the old DRZ400 not the 450. It has the small CV carb and the street exhaust. A cool bike but too slow and way too heavy for the $6000 they are trying to get for it.

The ultra serious Husky 450 is a real SuperMoto bike and only costs $400 more than the Suzuki. The electrics are all there to make it street legal .
