I Bought a Motorcycle in Mexico - Ep. 1

[@stuartdenty3163]

Love this content Josh, thank you! It shows what can be done adventure-wise , with relatively minimal resource, with the right mindset. Bravo!

[@Martin37vg]

Good price on the box I uk I paid equivalent to $60 just for mount plate and $270 for the box . My tourer is a Superblack. bird but still like watching guys trave on smaller bikes When I was in Spain a couple of brits for my neck ot the woods came to camp site on 125s fully loaded . They had been all over europe and had 26 k miles on one yer old bikes .

[@JoshPostVlogs]

Thanks for the comment, Martin!

16:50 I did a similar setup on my HD Sportster. I ran it from the battery and zip tied it all the way to the handlebars. It works very well and a great tool to have when my phone or any other accessories need a charge.

[@Mexicantours]

I went from Mazatlan to Puerto Escondido about 1100 miles on a italica 125 scooter, 4 days, I claim the record holder for a scooter in 4days.

[@JoshPostVlogs]

Very cool. I think it’s fun to travel on these small cc bikes. 🏍️

[@Mexicantours]

@@JoshPostVlogs safe is slow….

[@vxnova1]

This is awesome, you are correct anyone can do this on a 1000 cc adventure tourer, the real adventure is on a 125 cc moped,

[@DavidLawFilms]

You can do an whole other "adventure" episode of attempting to register that machine in Cali, if you bring it back! ;-)

[@paulhearn2857]

Cool Josh, looking forward to this journey👍🏻

[@MaliVlogs10]

You meet the nicest kind hearted people all over the world. 😁 I enjoyed this vlog and you were very concise with the storytelling. I'm taking notes.

[@mrpmessina]

Very much enjoyed this clip. It is so nice to see the family of Juan. They seem adorable and I love the chocolate cake. Thank you for the great overview of the motorbikes and what you can build onto them. They seem very nice and very cheap indeed. Brilliant!

[@beverlyb6391]

Bravo.

[@robertkeller9574]

Greetings Josh! I'm always happy when I get notified that you uploaded a new video! I didn't follow as closely with your recent adventures in Spain but I'm excited what you'll will be doing going forward. Biking, sailing or plain walking about you have an intriguing way of capturing the moment in nicely editing shots and music! Keep up the great work Josh!

[@Theairguitarguy]

Nice one! I live in Cabo at the moment. I bought a similar bike to you, but I went with the 250cc dual sport, and love it!

[@JoshPostVlogs]

Very cool. I’ve seen a lot of this 250 dual sports. Look great. The dual sport would have been super helpful on some of those roads around Cabo Pulmo, for example.

[@Theairguitarguy]

@@JoshPostVlogs yup agreed, that’s why I ended up with one. I was going to get a scooter or dm150 but I’m super glad I got the dual sport! It’s actually fairly capable off road!

[@jeffg7358]

Just found your channel with this episode. SUBCRIBED. 👍

[@philgray1023]

I paid A$300 for a top box just like that. The insurance company put a brand new one on after i was hit behind by a car. Only 27 broken bones, a punctured lung, two shoulder reconstructions, spinal surgery, left hand implants and joint removal a year off work and I'm almost as good as new. Great video Josh. My wife is looking at me saying, don't even think it.

[@jeffanderson8483]

Awesome vid! You can add motorcycle modification to your long list of talents. I always wondered how the trip began.....and where it will end!

[@mellamodiego8458]

i got the same hair brained idea just a few days ago while i was in Tulum and went into the grocery store and saw a brand new motorcycle for $1800 usd. its either buy the bike or buy a car and travel around central america

[@zacharyrivera566]

Looking forward to your trip.

[@kapirock7903]

Good idea, Let’s see what happens in the next episode!! I imagined that if you are not use to stay on the bike for many hours a day you could have some cramps during the trip. Regards!!!

[@johndagher9321]

Be safe and have fun guys!

[@candylook50]

Will be interesting to see how it holds up during the trip. The wheels don’t look that strong.

[@origamighost]

very nice, thank you :)

[@veiledallegory]

It’s good that you don’t need a fancy BMW for $15k because you can’t get one for that!

[@JoshPostVlogs]

How much are they? I don’t even know.

[@honkeyness9427]

What’s going on - where’s the sailboat?

[@jeffanderson8483]

Btw where do we get that sick "Seek Adventure" shirt?

[@user-wl9ug5yi4c]

Who can tell me how much the average Mexican motorcycle 125cc is?

[@JoshPostVlogs]

A 125cc will be around $1000 US. Italika is a common brand. They have a website you can search Italika and see their models and prices. Good luck!

[@drgncbrn511]

Buy a vento crossmax 250 cc pro It's fucking bad ass for the price Also has remote start Neat little bikes Check up on brands like vento and veloci Cheap 2000 dollars bikes Comes with usb ports pre installed to charge cells Sliders (crash bars) Explorer leds Remote start up Alarma Motor lock with remote or something like that Like if you get robbed you let them take the bike and press lock And it turns off Pretty neat tech they are starting to put in these cheap bikes I bought one that's how I know Lol Italika Is falling behind on the tech Also gps tracker Also bro vento has a cheap double purpose travel 250 cc bike called vento gt 250 comes with luggage boxes on the side For 2 racks would've been better than the one u bought These budget bikes are awsome if you live in a third world country and want to have a taste of the biker world

[@JoshPostVlogs]

Cool. I’ve seen a lot of the Vento bikes and was curious if they are good. Thanks for the info.

[@goofy4birds]

I'm so confused, where is the sailboat? Get Bored with the Boat?

[@robertestrada1683]

I have a question….can you purchase a motorcycle/scooter made in Mexico and register it in the USA (California) I can’t seem to find the answer

[@JoshPostVlogs]

I’ve researched also and I don’t think you can. Because of emissions standards, it’s not allowed. Maybe there is a work around but I haven’t found any options.

[@robertestrada1683]

@@JoshPostVlogs thanks josh for your speedy response I just bought 2 Italika scooters from auction and now it seems like I’m stuck with them

[@dmpiii]

I am about to purchase that bike for a trip in Mexico, did you register it in Mexico? Just wondering what I should do for the 45 days I’ll be in Mexico

[@marcusminty3243]

I am thinking about doing the same any advice

[@bamideleolora]

As a American could I buy this from Electrka

[@JoshPostVlogs]

Yes. For sure. The difficult part is registering it for a local license plate if you plan to license in Mexico. I had to get my friend to register it in his name. Maybe at Electra they can also help you register. Not sure but I know you can buy it without license plates.

[@01AceAlpha]

Check out Million Dollar Bogan. He rented a Harley sportster in India and rode to the base of Mount Everest.

[@jeffradie3375]

I want to know how you buy it legally and ride around not being a mexican citizen?

[@mellamodiego8458]

i am curious how did you get the license plates…because i am thinking of doing something similar and i am usa citizen

[@JoshPostVlogs]

My friend Juan registered the license plates. You may want to watch a recent video I made called Q&A when Juan and I talk about how we prepared for the trip. We talk a bit about the license plate issue.

[@bradmottishaw467]

Do you still sail?

[@JoshPostVlogs]

Hi Brad. Yes, but I am starting to do videos about various topics. I will probably still keep about 50% sailing and 50% other stuff. Were you able to catch my recent series about sailing in Spain? Cheers!

[@bradmottishaw467]

@@JoshPostVlogs I am watching that series now. I do enjoy the trips through Mexico too, because there are many people who think Mexico is nothing but the Cartels, and crime, but as you know it has a lot of beauty and great adventures. I am glad to hear you are still doing the sailing videos too, and look forward to all of it.
