Yamaha 450

I have the 2015 500 xc-w. A lot of the same mods.

Where is that at looks like white day. I need to check it out.

Glad to see some videos flowing again! looked like a fun ride!

Does she have electric start on that bike. I just bought the same bike for my son but it’s kick start. Is there a version that with that as an option

Why would you ever buy a copy when you can buy a few year old jap bike. So many wannabees buy bike and barely use them. Stop wasting your money people

Begging for subs at the beginning.. pathetic

Man, I miss winter wheeling. Great choice on the music too!

Looks like you have a euro spec KTM with the extra beveled bushing on the outside. I wonder why euro bikes need that extra part.

I’m exactly who you described with the CRF 300l. I wanted to get into the sport thought I would just do gravel. I find myself riding more and more single track I’m adding stiffer springs and heavier fork oil and that’s it. I’ll probably sell it in the next year for the bike I really need. But when I bought it it seemed like the bike for me.

I want to do the Shenandoah 500 on a Tenere 700. Would you think that’s doable on the Dualsport Route

Grate stuff, I orded on for my 2013, Sure hopping it will fit, thanks for the video ❤

2015. The most reliable year made 👍

I have a Husky 501. I’m gonna say that rebuilding top ends so damn frequently eliminates these bikes from being top tier adventure bikes. We can call them what they are, high performance, lightweight dual-sports but they suck at adventure riding. If we can’t do a trip to Alaska and back without worrying about doing major rebuilds to the engine, plus they suck on the highway, that makes them purely dual-sport weapons for difficult terrain. The only reasons I have mine is because I ride solo and it is easy to pick up in the middle of the boonies by myself. I use my T7 for everything except that kind of riding. But if I want to do epic riding in far off locations, I’m loading the 501 on a trailer. Why would I want to waste engine life on the highway getting there?

I have an 05, 525 exc I am in the process of adventurizing. Such a fun bike and pretty good at everything. Really good at singletrack. Great video, thanks for the info.

Got my little brother a SSR 125. I like my YZ450F

i dont understand why some chinese company dont clone the xr500 or xr600 as most of those bikes are mostly steel anyway, much cheaper design wise and would have buyers as no one makes a big bore equivalent to the 500-600

Dang, this wasn't even a rant. It was a reasonable dude that just wanted a bike that didn't break all the time on him. I like the idea of a cheaper bike but they are making them too expensive now. Gonna have to look elsewhere. :(

I can really appreciate this episode I grew up racing mountain bikes and now I put on a mountain bike race. As I've gotten more into riding my dual sport I have started looking at the hare-scramble series and I'm really impressed at how inexpensive the entry fees are compared to doing bike races now. I have a lot of my middle school students compete in that series and I love seeing them having a local place to race.

If the DRZ has 6 gears, FI, and is under 275lbs, I’ll be going back to Suzuki.

So you’re close to me if you drove out near st Mary’s. I just picked one of these up and looking for riding buddies

Hey man what info you got on the old 82 suzuki gs450 that you showed in video. Before I got that bike now. Can't get running

Elkins Motorsports sells and services them

Perez Susan Taylor Carol Lee Daniel

Duuuuude... these bikes are fire!

I'm running a continental tkc-80 up front and a motoz tractionator in back. Amazing tires

I accidentally stripped that star bolt underneath the foot peg that's shown In your video so.i had to remove it and my stock kick stand failed on me because apparently that bolt is used to support the kick stand when it's down so it doesn't fold all the way to the left and make the bike fall down. Is that bolt still needed with this after-market kick stand? Thanks

Would this bike fit a 100lb 5'0" rider? Thanks!

The real deal. Brad is a great guy and it was awesome to have him help us on our Allegheny Tour. Looking forward to riding and working with him more in the future. Looking forward to his next projects too!

Thanks for the shout-out, guys. I haven't been able to ride too much this year, but I am looking forward to linking up with all of you soon.

Sorry, James! I hope people hit you with some good insight.

nice bro ! Can we get an update on the Sr450 ?

I will say an Ssr 110 is good for a kid.But the faster you go the more you learn so i would say get a 125

The old versions are crazy Off-roading capable. New one is heavy and scary kzbin.infoqcE2wFiEKyM?si=2Looy_2V5Q9yGCvy

Where is this?

Thank you for the good information

Kanes the man!

I’m happy with my footage from the Hero 12 I got for my birthday, but I instantly (get it?) started having buyer’s remorse over not getting an Insta 360 X3. The possibilities for multiple angles from one shot look so well suited to riding. Switching mounts or running multiple cameras is too complicated/expensive in my opinion.

I got a 2020 sr450. Solid bike for a chinese bike. Ive also owned the sr125 in the past. The engine is robust. I put 41 fcr carb on the 450 amd man....the bike rides now like its on steriods lol. Its like the cheat code to these bikes.

I have a 300l I understand the short comings of the suspension, but it's the bike I have and I am just going to run it. I'll figure out how to make it work for more enduro style dual sport riding. Dumping money into the suspension doesn't make sense and I'm in no position currently to get something like a ktm. Fortunately I weigh about 170lbs with gear on.

Can't wait for the legion run this year, had a great time last year. Great video!!

I recently purchased a 2022 Kayo 250 K6-EFI new from the dealer, at the time they had it listed for $4,999.00. After negotiating back and forth for about a month, I got them to come way down on price and I ended up paying just over $3k for the bike. $3,042.69. I also got them to throw in a new helmet to go with it for free! Now at that price for a bran new fuel injected 4 stroke dirt bike, I was happy! And was willing to take a risk of purchasing a Chinese brand bike. And I gotta be honest, I’m pretty happy with the bike! I’ve made a few modifications and added some legal accessories, gone through the whole process of getting it registered, licensed, insured, and it’s officially street legal in the state of Texas! - loopholes required - It’s definitely been a fun lil city rippin’ Supermoto! I hate to hear all the troubles you had to go through with the people at GPX. That’s just bad business! I myself, along with many others alike, sure do appreciate the heads up information and fair warning about the company. Cheers, and God Bless.

Is this ride considered mild or wild?

lots of talking and not a lot of proof tbh.

Does this route take you over private land?

Thank you for the update. I was considering buying one of these. Bad service was the reason.
