Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

I haven't. The only other one my dealer has got in he sold to a guy over in Moscow, about 8 miles away across the Idaho border. There's hardly any small motos around here. I know of one grom, a ct90, an sl90, and a few people on random scooters. Seems like most folks in this town are college kids being squids on sport bikes, older folks on late 90's/early 2000's off brand cruisers, or farmers on dirt bikes.

I'm trying to find a time for my friend in another department to meet up and try the Navi. She has her endorsement and is looking for a little around town runner. Hoping I can convince her to get one and start a scooter errr I mean motorcycle gang.

 

It's so good, easily my favorite. They have a smoked version of it right now I really wanted, but I'm taking this batch of cheese to a family gathering this weekend on the west side and the rest of my family are real wimpy about any kind of heat.

 

Yep, and the conclusion is it’s better to have both bikes more that I think about it, it doesn’t make any sense what he is doing.

 

a lot of swaps dont make sense

i like it though, its a smaller frame than the grom, more narrow, better for that skinny dirtbike feel

 

Nice looks like you got more air than him!

He should have just updated the suspension and did a supermoto setup on the crf110. That’s what doesn’t make sense to me

 

why not just put CRF body on Grom frame and swap some gears?

 

the stock grom has a bigger more powerful motor than the stock 110, to get that out of a 110 you would be spending like 4k in upgrades
same with the suspension, to get grom size forks on a 110, that would easily be 1500 bucks worth of parts easy...

but I get it, in the end its mostly another youtube forum project, the typical just because I can project, spending more money and time than it is ultimately worth

the power to weight ration is in a favor of using the smaller chassis would be my first reason

 

I need to hit up my alumni parents next time they get a shipment. I love that stuff!

 

A little golden hour cruise around town a few nights ago. Love this 390 as a runaround, but def notice its powerband limitations if I'm not ahead of it living in a elevated, hilly area with some long and steep roads.

 

Yeah, But the Grom suspension sucks!

 

This is your first time going into the rocks right?

 

with this ktm it is yes, and this is my first ever at aoaa

with a quad or a regular dirtbike I would have little if any hesitation though

I have some decent seat time doing blues and even some black in my taco, and other peoples toyotas, so I am not going in totally blind..

my cousin is 15 and really only started riding a couple summers ago, so this is his first reall time riding outside of local powerlines and a small LI sand track, where you find yourself some miles away from home

 

This seems like a fair deal - Looks pretty clean, a

Might head that way tomorrow just to scope those two triples out. Will let ya know!

 

Looking for a more affordable scooter brand 150-250cc range. Vespa is way too much, Honda would rather not spend 4k for a scooter. Seen a bunch of random Chinese or Japanese brands but don’t know too much. I rode them all around in Bali so not worried about it lasting forever. Any ideas?

 

That looks so close to my 2013. Same exhaust.

 

Check this one out. I believe the blue frame was an anniversary or limited edition Dont know your search radius, but that matte blue on the Speed is awesome! @Doc Samson

 

I might be able to meet you there, depending on your time. But in the afternoon, ill be in Fairfax
