That’s kind of a cool concept to be shadowed by someone with experience. It brings new riders into the community and gives them connections for the future. In the U.S. we don’t really have any requirements for getting a motorcycle license besides a test if you’re of age. I took a riders course myself and highly recommend it for new riders.

@@theetactician 100% spot on bro. And also, sometimes you'll think you're doing the right things until other people observe you from outside. Especially for things like body positioning, braking, taking off etc. I strongly recommend a riders course too. Considering how dangerous motorcycle riding can be, it's a good investment!

Whew .. was considering a more practical MT07 vs super moto.. but wow.. clearly the MT09 would be My Choice. Really it's a weight thing, but the MT07 and MT09 are within a few lbs. No go cart tracks around here but a Lot of twisting two lanes. an extra 100 lbs isnt welcome, but not a big deal for these curves, but increased highway road stability at 100+ is very welcome. Add all the Tronix, cruise control and quick shifter of the late model MT09 and the choice is clear.

I'm so torn between it and the Grom. Biggest issue for me is that they're not really available for me here. The nearest one available is hours away from me. And there's not really an aftermarket scene like the Grom, which is a huge part of the fun. But I love the styling more for the Papio XO-1 (called SS here) plus it's a few hundred $ dollars cheaper at base model than the Groms here, especially the Grom ABS model. Papio SS has more value for the money for base I believe with some of the features; heck even an OEM windshield is extra from the Grom. It would be my first motorcycle. I don't really want anything bigger. It's mostly for me to commute to work and back and enjoy some scenic rides. I also wanted to ask, since you are experienced with motos, I noticed the Papio engine cycler is more upright vs the Grom's which is horizontal. Does that change the characteristics?
@afrobiker3 ай бұрын
@@CheapSushi value for money, You'll be hard pressed to find something better than the Papio. Like you said, the Papio sells for a lower price brand new. However, I would lean towards a Grom more than a Papio for a few reasons. 1. It's proven reliability. I'm sure the Papio's engine is solid but Groms have been thrashed by stunters, commuters and mini adventures, and still begs for more. 2. Parts availability, both aftermarket and OEM. 3. Riding position. Now this one only applies for the XO Papio Racer because I know CFMoto do a trial version as well. The Grom has a more comfortable upright riding position which is better for extended use. 4. More diy content. Forums, YT, FB groups, you name it, the internet is saturated with Grom content. Surely, you can find a low mileage used Grom for a good price. The Z125 is also a solid alternative. However, the Papio is an impressive lil bike.
