Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

Ok, so I have been camping with a few bikes and still looking for a more preferable fit.

I just want a small bike to explore nearby (within a few miles; girlfriend doesnt like me going to far we camp in the boonies) of our camp areas. Bike will be on a hitch mount.

Here are the bikes I have tried.

1. My "daily" bike... Dr650 was great but just do not need all of its capability while camping and it is alot heavier than I want.

2. Honda Grom was good but would like something a little lighter

3. Honda ruckus, this was my favorite so far and may stick with this.

4. 40cc Standup scooter was underpowered for hills and terrible on rocks.



Basically im looking for the most compact / lightweight option to move a ~165lb person around.

I have had my eye out on craigslist for a cheap xr/crf50 to try out as I think that may be a good option.


Any other ideas?

 

China pit bikes are fun. I drink too much beer and usually end up on the pit bikes at midnight doing something stupid

Something like this, but have no idea if this one is any good.

Yeah, I have owned a couple over the years. Had good experiences with those Lifan 125s... Definitely would consider picking another one up. They are also dirt cheap on the secondhand market.

Got my old wrecked Ninja 500 registered and insured. Thoughts on a ninja 500 street-fighter/bobber build?

 

@AR15xAR10 making me think about a WR250R

 

great bikes

 

I still have some time to think.. but its on the plate. Also need to sell my FZ-09 and my Z125

 

Can't believe I waited so long to get a bike.

 

Do it now

 

Make sure the coconut crabs don't walk away with it

 

Congrats dude. Should be a blast on the island.

 

I know it’s the middle of winter but had to do a flash back of my setup from summer. Stoked to find this thread too! Cheers my fellow riders!

 

I'd kill a crab!

 

Last ride of Fall to SGL 43, riding West from the range:


3° F here this morning, probably not riding today. Switching to the ATV and pulling firewood out over the snow instead.
Happy New Year

 

Got in some ride time today after doing the first oil And filter change.

 

you already did an oil change? Thought the first one was 600 miles..

 

I believe that was for the 'R' model.

 

I always changed all fluids on brand new bikes after one ride. You would be surprised how many little pieces of shaved metal you will find not only in the oil, but brake fluid, coolant, etc.
