Northern Virginia Roll Call

Yes, 80-90 is no problem. Fastest I've ever gone on it (on a legal track, of course ) was about 110. I'm 5'7" and about 180#.

It's definitely not as fast as a 600 (obviously) but it will get you around no problem.

yea, I'm not a speed demon... I just want something that will cruise in traffic comfortably......

if you have it after we close on the house, I might.....

 

Throwing in helmet and some cheaper gloves, and some other things, for sale thread has more deets

Matt

 

I haven't taken my 300 on the interstate that much but when I have I didn't have any issues cruising at a lil over 80. And @CanisLupus is correct, 110 is roughly the top speed on them. 300s are awesome bikes, super lightweight for having fun on winding roads and enough power to get your adrenaline pumping.

 

I know the timing for that isn't ideal...but fire up the crawler while you are out there!

 

yea I hopped on a buddies 250 and zipped around on that for a little while and it was a blast..... I've had a Zx6R, GSXR600, YZF600, a 599 hornet, and a Star Bolt 950... then I had a kid.... and all that went away. haha

 

I will probably be swinging by later after my kids soccer games and Boy Scouts. Not sure if I am modding maybe just tech deck but can help and drink lol!

 

Thanks for the heads up.

 

ok cool.... so are we talking 2-3pm ish?

 

The extra 50cc is great for that highway use. Most everyone on a 250 complains about keeping up with highway traffic and merge speed but the 300 can do it no problem

Matt

 

@ready6delta still have the predator bars?

 

yea thats what he was telling me... that his 250 is a blast around town, but not the interstate... that's what led me to ask about the 300...... now i really freakin want it haha



off topic: but for you people with wood burning fireplaces..... where do you get wood? do you split it yourselves? (I have no problem with this) what's the best way to store it? etc....

 

Debating on this guy https://www.crutchfield.com/p_1308200NEX/Pioneer-AVIC-8200NEX.html vs this guy https://www.crutchfield.com/p_1304200NEX/Pioneer-AVH-4200NEX.html

I was researching a 1 Din system with a tablet in the Dash. If I make my decision before the weekend, might have something to work with haha.

Trying to get all my upgrades done before this baby makes an appearance

 

Craigslist has people giving away fire wood, I get it anytime there is a storm I'll take my saw and anything on the side of the road I'll grab. I also have a buddy in Fredericksburg that works for a tree co. So he saves stuff for me.
As far as splitting goesI'm old sschool, but have help

 

AVIC 8200 in my opinion..... 5 star reviews out of 45 people? seems like you cant go wrong

 

Awesome thanks! and I agree.... I enjoy splitting with an axe as well.

I just need to get a little set up... haha

 

But super slow after riding an 850cc for 3 years

 

Matt you're killing me, between new house fixing the truck, suspension, UCAs, bumper, and now this little guy


I'm tapped out, but I want a bike so bad again.

 

so it only makes sense to go buy a 125

 

I win. Ive had a Suzuki GS500, Honda CBR F4i, Harley Nightster 1200, Triumph Speed Triple, Yamaha FZ09, Yamaha C3 scooter, Kawasaki KE100 enduro, Honda Nighthawk, Honda CB350, and Kawasaki Z125 Pro
