I already own a 300 Rally, so I'm ok with the "power"....or lack thereof

 

I'm honestly happy with the little 300 Rally. It's not a snappy as my DRZ400 was, but the only complaint I have is the soft suspension, but that can be handled

 

Smallest cc bike I've ever owned is probably the suzuki rm250 2 stroke. Missing that 2 stroke Power band.

 

If you’re set with the exact same engine go for it! They’re sweet little bikes.

MT03 or Duke 390 might be a little more upright than a CBR…?

I’m not a big Kawi guy but as mentioned above the 400 is always touted as more than a class above and the superior bike if interested.

 

XT225 was my smallest/first bike

seemed so fast and fun at the time!
Man do I miss those tires being in production…

 

I'm honestly just "window" shopping. Being back on a bike again has just got me looking I'm only 5 miles from work off a 45MPH road.........so speed/power really isn't needed for me. If I had money to waste, I'd love a Kawasaki W800. Love that old school cafe racer look................honestly.............I just want all bikes and enjoy shooting the shit about them

 

Very nice

 

Smallest I ever owned was a 1993 Honda 80 elite when I was 14(parents bought it new for me). Put 3K on it during the summer....then when school started back.....I wouldn't ride it b/c I didn't want to be made fun of

 

Oh same. I test ride any and every bike I can simply because I’m curious haha. Fun to compare

 

Funny thing is this would be so cool today haha.

 

I had a buddy that had the exact same and one with a Yamaha 50. We use to give him shit b/c ours was "faster" Great memories were made with that little scooter.


I should have said that was the smallest street legal I ever owned. I got a Honda 50 z for Christmas when I was 5 and learned to ride it in the hallway before my folks would let me outside on it Moved to a XR80 a few years later, then on to the 125 2 strokes.

 

What’s the over under of you making it 10k miles

 

I'd be up for a discussion. I have a 890 in my sights so I can do longer freeway trips here in UT with 80mph limits.

Dukes def are more upright and I love it. As someone with a achy back way too young, I cant own full tuck squid missiles.

 

Ive done 10k before and kept the bike.. FZ09 had 12k when I sold it.

 

As an owner of a ct90 (w/ a 140cc swap) and a 109cc Navi, I approve of small bikes. Shit eating grinning my whole commute in on the Navi today.

That being said, if I was looking for a 300-400cc class, just for like city cruising or whatever, I'd be looking at a svartpilen or vitpilen or however you spell it. I think those things are shaaaarp lookin'.

 

Sounds like you need a grom

 

Not even gonna lie. I've drooled a time or three over the "dirt bike" and "adventure" ones from wanderlust

WanderGrom Off Road - Honda Grom Dirt Bike Build — Wanderlust Not Less | Adventure Photography & Nature Stickers

 

That first one is the reason why I have a grom now. I was going to go that route with mine even had the knobby tires on. But these things are so much more fun with a set of sticky tires.

 

There's one on the local fb marketplace with a CBR250 engine swap Went down that rabbit hole on YT after seeing that. I bet those little fuckers scream after that swap.

 

i think a lot of use here identify as Bikeurious
