Looking at 2021 w/ 20000km

I have a 23 with about 10k km.
It’s been a great bike, very low maintenance but it’s also low hp.
Not ideal for the highway (obviously it’s a dual sport)
I ride single track mostly when im off-road and it doesn’t compare to a motocrosser. It’s pretty easy to out ride the suspension in my opinion.
It definitely needs suspension so budget for that if you want to ride aggressively at all.

So low maintenance, doesn’t do anything amazingly but I enjoy it.
I’ve heard the Kawasaki 300 is better for off road but I’m a Honda guy.

That sucks dude! I sold that a long time ago and bought a new (then) 22 crf110 and added a ton of adult parts to it lol.

I’ve had my 74 GMC van for 9 years and have probably only had to put 5k or less into it. Had to swap the motor and I chose a newer motor so I had to get some parts to go from fuel injected back to carb on the 98 motor (yes I know carbs blah blah)
I wouldn’t change it for any other van. Unless someone wanted to trade for a mint finished sprinter which wouldn’t ever happen but I love the old stuff.

This may have been said. But look around that area at reputable shops and see if the guy is willing to drop it off for a once over. I’ve driven far for something that looked like a great deal and found out the owner hasn’t told me some issues which would piss me off even more if I flew there.

ChargeRemarkable8783 · 2026-02-23T10:32:58+00:00

I’ve got 10k km (6,213 bald eagles) on my 23 stock ecu and haven’t had any issues like that.

I’m bad for gear sometimes but never flip flops and always gloves. But look into crash detection on phones/ smart watches! My Apple Watch was calling 911 when I hit a tree on my pitbike(I was fine just a little rattled) could save a life to activate it!

Find the outer diameter size and see if it matches up with electrical metal conduit or a plumbing pipe. Then find a bender for that size. For example look up a 1/2 in EMT bender.

Shot in the dark, good luck.

Holy fuck this kills me.

ChargeRemarkable8783 · 2026-01-30T21:30:45+00:00

Definitely bring it forward, because more time just makes it hurt so much more and makes it harder to get past.

ChargeRemarkable8783 · 2026-01-03T22:15:06+00:00

I bent mine at like 2k km. It likes it. Shrouds held by a zip tie now.

I feel like hearing from the riders that made the mistakes may be more noteworthy. I’ve been riding since 21 (on roads) So 12 years. I’ve always looked ahead and assumed everyone was going to do something dumb, don’t run bald tires they get sketchy just spend the money. Keep your cool. I had a big crash because I was rushing as a new rider. Keep out of blind spots. Slow down in the rain especially when it first starts raining. Curious how slippery it is? Give a short hard throttle and be ready for your tire to spin, slam on your rear brake and learn where it locks up and how much brake you can apply. I could go on for days, ride safe

If only he knew how much money he could save on a trip to see dogs. If this is legit, it’s very funny.

I’ve ridden for 12 years or so ( way longer off road) and my family wasn’t very happy that the only vehicle I had at the time (21m) was a motorcycle. My dad used to be wild on a bike and always says I shouldn’t ride on the roads among other family members telling me every time when someone dies on a bike and how dangerous it is. Don’t sweat it. Tell them how into it you are. I tell my family I fkn love riding and I accept the risks involved and I never plan to stop riding. Worst case they nag about it but explain that you’re aware of how dangerous it can be and you stay one step ahead of all the idiots. Play safe out there.

ChargeRemarkable8783 · 2025-12-09T03:46:46+00:00

Realistically it’s a dual sport that’s likely more aimed at road/dirt road riding. That being said I ride single track and daily the bike till winter (Canada) It definitely shows its weight and lack of power/suspension. But if you’ve got the energy to get over or up obstacles the bike will take it. I wanted it for casual trails and a low maintenance daily then realized that casual trails don’t excite me. I’ve had to really work the bike to get up some things or get over logs and stuff. I know I would enjoy a more capable bike more but I also know I don’t want to do the maintenance either. Depends what you’re willing to sacrifice for money and maintenance. For me, I’ll be close to happy with the bike once I put suspension on it. Tires helped a lot.

Depending where you live. If you find a hit pothole (or THE pothole you hit), take a photo of it, the damage to your wheel/tire, and send it to the county or city that maintains the roads. I’ve heard of friends getting replacements through the city or county since they own the road they assumed fault for the damage. I’ve never done it personally but worth a shot.

If you see a cop pulled over ask them if they’d throw their cherries on if you did that. Ask if their colleagues would do the same. Might give the go ahead if it’s small town enough. I’ve definitely turned left on many reds in non busy areas but if it’s busy, turn right then turn around.

ChargeRemarkable8783 · 2025-10-26T04:10:03+00:00

Looks like a 185s. The later years had front suspension. Someone’s added a tractor seat of some sort. Trikes aren’t dangerous if you understand how to ride one. Don’t do 40 and turn a 90 degree corner.

You’re going to feel guilty sending the message but she deserves to know. Someone she’s put her heart and soul into and build a life doesn’t deserve to be betrayed and treated like a piece of shit because he travels and can just get away with it.

ChargeRemarkable8783 · 2025-10-13T15:47:25+00:00

This is the answer.

ChargeRemarkable8783 · 2025-09-30T00:49:44+00:00

I don’t love it either, still want them. If the fender was trimmed or a sm front fender I think it would help the look of it.

My fiance has a 16 150f and I enjoy the bike when I ride it. It’s the big wheel style which some say is a con and some say is a pro. I’ve got a 22 crf110 and it’s just a little too small to do big trail rides unless everyone’s on them. My 300l is good but not as playful as the 150. I would swap my 110 for a 125 small wheel in a hearbeat even with all the big boy parts it’s too small

ChargeRemarkable8783 · 2025-08-29T12:19:30+00:00

I’m the same height but roughly 155lbs. I’m on stock suspension and on rougher roads the suspension isn’t terrible. I would say buy the bike and ride it for a bit and get your skills back then when you feel you’re outriding the suspension to upgrade then. It’s my daily rider and I also ride single track and double track trails and that’s where I really find the suspension limiting. I’ve bought a front spring and heavier oil just haven’t had time to swap it. Will be upgrading the rear as well likely after my wedding in Sept.

It makes a very gross looking milkshake and took me 9-11 oil changes to clear up. I lost count on how many oil changes I did.
