may i ask how tall are you? would that xr be ok for 6''2?
@OffRoadRodeo 4 күн бұрын
I’m 6’2”. It’s entirely possible to ride it at our height. I added 30mm handlebar risers and ProTaper CR High bars to bring the controls up more. That being said I also have a CRF250 Rally and that’s definitely better for tall folks like us.

Hey! I’ll definitely take you up on a ride the next time I’m home with my moto. I’m living down in Asheville, NC so I only get back up there a few times per summer with the moto. As for keeping your riding places secret, no worries, I won’t GoPro whatever we ride. I’m not sure the name of the road but its coordinates start roughly near the strip club outside WH. Coordinates are: 41.0868520, -75.7733170 (also known as Ice Lake Rd)

I was thinking about riding my bicycle across Yellow Gap to scout out what’s up out that way. I haven’t heard anything or seen any pictures. Speedo was a blown fuse.

Hey Rick! You helped dial in my old DR650 about 7 or 8 years ago. I had your mojave shock and fork kit in it. I’m now on a Honda crf300 rally. The previous owner of the bike put a nitron rear shock and Andreani fork kit in it. Wish he had gone with your products though! I think he had Schroeder’s Honda do the install. We WNC dual sport guys should get together and get some weekend rides going.

@ we sell the Andreani fork kits for that bike but we do modify the damping modifications some. With our shock and that the bike is great. We still ride our WR250r with our mods.

@ we would have enjoyed having to work with you on that new Honda. We have those bikes really dialed in with our shock and fork upgrades. I’m sad that I didn’t get a chance to work with you.

Hey! Yes, from White Haven but living in Asheville, NC. I like the XR150 a lot. I really beat the heck out of it last year. If you go back through these videos I’ve ridden it at Windrock Park, Great Smoky Mtns, Blackwater State Forest in FL, etc. I’ve never had any sort of mechanical issue and all I ever did was change the oil and put better tires on it. It gets crazy good gas mileage and has a really big tank. Also has a really nice rack that comes with the bike. I recently bought a CRF 250 Rally that I’m primarily riding now. I wanted something a bit bigger and faster with better suspension. That being said, the XR is sitting right next to it in the garage. 👍

I flew to Costa Rica and bought a XR150L back in 2015. I researched everything beforehand, got a ride from the airport to the nearest Honda dealer, walked in and bought the bike, and walked around the corner to the cell phone shop to get a local SIM card while they prepped the bike. I brought all my gear in a dry bag backpack, along with a couple straps for the rack, and a cell phone holder for the bars. Within two hours of being in country, I owned a new bike with all my gear on the rack and a cell phone with a local number running google maps on the bars. I rode that bike over 3000 miles to every area of Costa Rica, and down every dirt road to every beach I could find. The bike was great. I had one issue with a loose wire near the exhaust melting, but other than that all I did was change the oil and a couple flat tires. Considering how widely available it is in Latin America I would strongly consider using one for some international touring taking the road less traveled. The better bike, and the one Honda needs to bring to the US is the fuel injected XR190L. That bike blow doors on both the CT125 and XR150L.
