I’m loving mine too buddy! ✊🏻

[@OdysseyOffroad]

Hell yea man, was a great choice. Can't wait to ride brother 🤙🏻

[@rexbo5029]

You're a very humble man! I love your honesty, you seem like a good guy... not pretentious whatsoever! Honestly, that's refreshing these days! I appreciate your comments about the bike being a good choice (I had a feeling you be happy about that aspect0. Hang in there and keep learning! PS: Any experienced dirt bike rider will tell you that failing/dropping the bike happens (a lot!), it's simply part of dirt bike riding. PS: Get a Yoshi all SS exhaust, it's second to none! (trust me)

[@OdysseyOffroad]

Dude thank you. That's an amazing compliment I appreciate that a lot. Thank you for the tips and advice. This is a fun new journey I am on! I have a yoshi on my Raptor so i am not opposed to it. I also like the pro circuit exhaust for this bike, very nice sounding as well.

[@ThomperBeThompin]

Yesssssss! Keep up the good work. It sounds like you are focusing on all the correct things. It will definitely take time. My advice would be to try your best and always maintain the correct attack position when going fast and/or through sketchy stuff. Also, don't try to focus on learning too many new skills at one time. For example, take one ride and focus on gripping the bike with your legs and keeping your hips unlocked. Then the next ride focus on proper hand and arm position, and on and on. Lastly, come back and watch this video once you've got 30 hours on the bike and you'll be shocked at how far you've come along! Keep it up!

[@OdysseyOffroad]

Thanks brother, Great advice. Learning so many new things at once can be very overwhelming. That's exactly what I tried to do today make sure I was gripping the bike correctly when turning. 🤞🏻 Thanks for the positive feedback!

[@torque-abundance9923]

That's a fine wine. The 250R what a "user friendly" fellow💪

[@OdysseyOffroad]

this is the 250f the 250r is a monster lol

[@chrislur]

I just started riding too dirt bike got a good deal on a yz125 so I went for it, I have a raptor 700 and renegade 1000, what I noticed on a dirt bike is seat time that’s how you get better, and don’t 2nd guess yourself just do it now I’m so much better on it and don’t get tired that much I kinda like it better then a quad just cause you can go through anything and don’t get as dirty

[@OdysseyOffroad]

Thanks for the comment! I ain't giving up. After the last ride I really am enjoying it. I do notice you get less dirty (if you stay on the bike that is) haha ! 💪🏻

[@lmoran9767]

Keep on riding, you’ll have no problem keeping up with the Tw200!

[@OdysseyOffroad]

It doesn't matter what leapin Larry rides nobody's keeping up with that guy!

[@JacksonOffroad25]

This and sabos series has made me get the itch for a bike again! Why do you guys have to do this to me lol 😂

[@OdysseyOffroad]

Well I blame him I was thinking about it, thinking about it and thinking about it l. Then he went and did what he did and now here we are lol you're next buddy TAG you're it!!! 🤣 👊🏻👊🏻

[@JacksonOffroad25]

@@OdysseyOffroad I’ve actually been eyeing the surron or talaria since there’s a park right behind the woods near my house I could ride around at and it would be stealth enough I could ride it to the store lol

[@OdysseyOffroad]

@@JacksonOffroad25 haha right on.

[@northernstoner962]

I remember my first time on a dirt bike it was my dads cr230f i remember trying to slow down for the first time i grabbed the clutch instead an kinda sped up then remember that it was foot brake

[@northernstoner962]

After getting use to it was really fun and was nice to just go out and drive around

[@OdysseyOffroad]

@@northernstoner962 it really is a lot of fun! Thanks for the comment !

[@MotoJosh88]

The more you ride it the more you will enjoy it. Great bike choice for a beginner. Do not get the R Or RX the throttle jerks and will take time to get used to. Try getting a little aggressive with the movement. You will get comfortable with it quicker.

[@OdysseyOffroad]

Thanks man 👊🏻

[@Burke396]

It's a great bike, I love mine

[@OdysseyOffroad]

That's a common theme, most people seem to really enjoy them.

[@Burke396]

@OdysseyOffroad yep and I'm 43 and 230 lbs and don't have any issues with the suspension like others say. Of course I'm not doing crazy jumps. Lol The only complaint I have is it needs a six gear but whatever.

[@Emmy_44]

i have a honda crf150f and i freaking love it !!! i wish i had enough money to buy a 250cc !!!

[@OdysseyOffroad]

Hell yea! Great bikes!

[@Emmy_44]

@@OdysseyOffroad yeah i love it !! but my 150cc is a 2006 im ready for a new one !! just need more money i cannot wait till i get a 250cc :)

[@OdysseyOffroad]

@@Emmy_44 let us know when you do! 🤘🏻

[@mr.unknowncali-life9350]

Dirt bike are way cheaper then atvs but am aslo very scared to ride them . Lol great keep it up

[@OdysseyOffroad]

Thanks for the support !

[@HailMich]

Not really. Most sport atvs are around same price as dirt bikes. These trail bikes are cheaper but not racing bikes.

[@r.morgan3965]

I’m curious, how tall are you? Do you fit comfortably?

[@OdysseyOffroad]

I am 5'6 with a 30"in seem and very comfortable on the bike. I can reach ground with both feet. On the balls of my feet.

[@Burke396]

What state are u in?

[@OdysseyOffroad]

I am in Southern AZ.

[@Burke396]

@@OdysseyOffroad ah darn, I guess we can't be riding buddies as I live in Idaho. Lol

[@OdysseyOffroad]

@@Burke396 haha

[@HailMich]

Those 250f bikes are hard to ride imo. Not nearly enough torque to ride in sand or anything besides hard pack trails. Kinda a one trick pony hence the $4999 new price tag.

[@OdysseyOffroad]

I don't agree at all about them being a 1 trick pony. There are guys doing a lot with these machines. They are way more capable than you think.

[@HailMich]

@@OdysseyOffroadyeah. I’m glad you’re liking yours. Be safe man. Hope you learn fast and make videos as you go through bikes.

[@OdysseyOffroad]

@@HailMich I for sure will man, thanks for tuning in!

[@Burke396]

Not at all, I ride mine in the sand, mud, rocks, ect.. it's pulls through anything.
