Forget 1,000 Miles! Will we even make it 1,000 ft | $1,000 Motorcycles vs 1,000 Miles Episode 3

Can $1,000 motorcycles make it 1,000 adventure miles? We’ll be taking these project bikes on our Hooked on Phoenix ride, a popular route that takes you from Mesquite, Nevada to Phoenix, Arizona and back. With a mix of dirt roads, technical sand and rocks, and even a little slab, this ride has something for every rider and certainly the right challenges to push these bikes to the limit.
In Episode 3, we find out if these bikes can make it even the first 100 miles of this 1,000 mile endeavor.

Which bike do you think will fail first!? There's lots more fun to come in the rest of the series here: kzbin.info/aero/PLQNbY8vNfRmVUQhq3LIEPMAvoJtd7mboN

Awesome fun with great friends, what more would a man want for. Thanks for sharing these videos man it makes me feel like I am 20 again. :). Even at my age I still enjoy my rides sadly most of my buddies live somewhere around the globe but most of us are still in contact via Skype. That DT you have me routing for it in every challenge. LOL, I have never owned one but my friends have and they were by far the best bike on versatility. What a machine. I had the old XL500s back in the day even though it was an awesome bike those DT's literally ran circles around it. Have great times with friends man and God Bless you all.

You can always tell real motorcycle guys. During the middle of a 1000 mile ride you totally destroy a Non-replaceable float, they all laugh and with very little distress find a way to make it function. Carb work on the side of the road, no big deal…. They are highly skilled in the use of scientific equipment such as, zip ties, duct tape and J.B. Weld. Real motorcycle guys will always survive….

Should've known better than to rely on a Suckzuki. I had one and I worked on it more than rode it. It was a 230 quadsport. Bearings and brakes were always requiring replacing. With the added bonus of, if the rear bearing and or the swing arm bearings go back you then need a case after the chain destroys it.
