VLOG: Are small bore motorcycles and scooters more fun?

[@RideWithAlex]

Dude, thank you for the shout out and really glad you're enjoying the series. It was a truly epic trip and the finale is something I'm really proud of. I've never been to the U.S. but it's on my bucket list to come and ride over there, and to reach Prudhoe Bay ( on scooter of course) and if you ever wanna come over here I'll put you on 2 wheels and we can tour (I do work at a dealership and have access to many scooters and bikes 😅) I'm also going to start watching your series on the scooter cannonball because that's another thing on my bucket list and I really wanna see day by day what's the experience like. Anyway hope everyone that came over to my channel from this video is enjoying the content and I'll put here a few more interesting suggestions from me: The highest road in Romania.....FAIL!!: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXWndoCtZ86ZsLs Bucharest to Milan - 4000km on a 169CC Sym Symphony ST: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKeUdnh8mpqlr9E First adventure with Brutus - BMW R1100GS: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nnPRhHmKa9V6pbM Cruisym traversing the Bicaz Gorge: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qGWxdZ2IlJ2ejaM SYM ADX 125 - Road trip: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q2XIXntvjbR5gqs SYM 125cc Road Trip - Day 1: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYXChqCGbK2Sma8 SYM 125cc Road Trip - Day 2: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iWm2mJZ4nLd2mKs

I'm glad to give the shout-out and referral! We small-bore enthusiasts have to stick together! You'll see a lot of similar mountain scenery in my 2021 Scooter Cannonball series. Crossing the Rocky Mountains and the Great Basin on Super Cubs was an awesome and humbling experience. 👊😉👍 --QM

Nice to know I'm in such good company. Ride on, brothers!

[@RideWithAlex]

@@QuasiMotard I'll watch the 2021 trip after I finish the 2023 one (have time for only 1 video o day with family and work and my own channel but loving every episode. Anyway watching your trip has got my gears turning with a very farfetched ideea that's probably impossible to make happen but I did hear a saying once here on KZbin: Fortune favors the bold And God loves an idiot! 😂😂😂

[@mattalger2325]

​@@QuasiMotard Brother, it's so good to hear you shout out the Love of riding the small bore bikes. I Love my 50cc Scoot. The Roughhouse is such a fun little bike. I just got a great new set of Michelins put on it and the grip is so much better. And yea, Some of us don't have a choice about riding bigger bikes. Because I can't get a driver's license due due to a "disability". I don't like calling that because I refuse to let anything hold me back from doing what I Love, not to mention my need to locally commute. I really dig the small bore two strokes, they have that angry Hornet growl and smell amazing at the while doing it, and they have more power per cc to boot. 🤣 I've mentioned it before in a recent video, but if you ever want to come through Virginia again, we live in beautiful place here. The scenery here in Luray and the Page valley are next level. And again, You're always welcome here Brother. It would be a pleasure to have to have you visit and an opportunity to met you and hang out. I think we've roughly the same age, so we can discuss how Gen X is the greatest generation! 😂 I also appreciate greatly what you said about not being religious but spiritual in another video I was watching of yours earlier. And about the "elites" in this video. Good stuff. Stay safe and keep it on two wheels my friend!

[@geraldburmeister9637]

Big cruisers bring comfort, big sportbikes bring adrenaline rushs but small bikes bring near endless amounts of fun!

Someone told me before(loosely translated): "Riding scooters/small displacement bikes is like being a small man in a big man's world. You have to put more effort than anyone else,but you also tend to have more fun along the way."

As a rider of big bikes and a small scooter. When am riding scooters to work on a summers morning doing 40 with ethereal smells and views, I think to myself this is pure pleasure.

[@6fiddy309]

I tried a PCX because of your channel... I intended to put the PCX motor in a ruckus... The 2013 PC X was such a fantastic bike I never changed it and it's now my most used bike... I purchased an NC750X and I just wanted to let you know that if you make that choice you will not regret it.. Another dead smooth, absolutely amazing Do it all bike.. D c t unbelievable...👍👍.. Glad to see your recovering.Keep up the great videos..

[@Andy_ATB]

Absolutely!! Most of the You Tube channels using small bore bikes, are having so much fun. However, too many in the influential motorcycle media are still obsessed with big bikes.....

[@DavidJongibo]

I have a PCX 150 and love it!

[@millymoo6575]

The nod of respect is more deserved to the small bikers! You are my new favourite person QM. Last year I came from a pcx125 to a cb500x and after riding scooter for 20plus years the lack of respect on the road when on the scooter was terrible! I always give the nod to scooters now

[@dennisbrouns1920]

To me (Here in the Netherlands) I couldnt do without small bore. 50cc is perfect for driving on our cycling infrastructure. The slow pace and the different roads leading up to a completely different view. 50cc is a culture on its own here, well it used to be. We’re very densely populated and getting good use out of big bore is pretty hard. For that I go to Germany (Eifel) or Luxemburg with my 650cc+ Honda’s. Long winding curvy roads are hard to come by here and the whole infrastructure is littered with speed bumps. Its al focussed on cycling. So perfect for 50cc (or 70cc or 90cc.. 🤫which is illegal on cycling roads..)

[@catfish24]

I have a 2013 PCX 150 and I love the heck out of it no gears to change riding in town in stop and go traffic it's just a blast to ride and 80 miles to the gallon doesn't hurt either.

[@garyd3725]

I started on a 400 Yamaha, then to an 1100 Yamaha and after 20 years riding I’ve gone down to a 320 Yamaha. Love the little MT03. 95% of the time it is plenty fast enough.

[@Floatsorrolls1]

Well said! Small bore is about the journey not the destination! Group rides are way more fun on a small bike but the greater distance stuff does make it nice to have a big bike as well. Keep killing it as always 😎🤘🏼

[@dougdouthitt4184]

Thanks to Shane O'Riley for the eclipse pictures. Another motorcycle enthusiast Neil, Murnel, and I met at the Two Rivers School in Yell County Arkansas. He had a camera set up with a filter that captured these pictures. He was kind enough to share them with us. We invited him to join in us on the Scooter Cannonball in 2025. Hope to see him in Seaside, Oregon in June of 25. Thanks including theses pics Aaron! You were greatly missed. Hope to see you on Neil's Miniball ride in July or Scootin the Ozarks in the Fall.

Your channel helped me to decide to get a Honda PCX150. I ride around the greater Detroit area and I’m surprised how cool the two wheeled community is here. Two wheel down waves all around. I feel the same way. You wanna really be tough, go ride into some spring potholes on a scooter, lol.

[@EdenValleyAdventuresUK]

Yes I watch Alex, he is good fun and if you are ever over in the UK you are always welcome to stay. I live in a small village in the north of England 10 miles from the Lake District & 25 miles from the Scottish Borders and I am exploring on a 125 motorsooter and shortly getting the 300cc rally. Ps you inspired me to get a motorscooter thanks man. Fun Fun.

[@Dsanrides]

I just tried a GSXR1000R at a demo event. It made me miss my Ninja 400 believe it or not. I just have so much fun even after 3 years on that bike. Even after being on a bigger bike before the Ninja. Agreed about the scooters, after my first bike was stolen, it was my daily, had to ride a scooter for 6 months to get to work. It was a lot harder than my old 650. Also, I can’t say it enough, it’s a blessing to see you back on the road. Hope your back recovers fully ✌️

[@High_Octane]

I have a DR 650 and a BMW C400Gt scooter and The scooter is so much better than Dr on road.

Romania is stunning. Especially in the Carpathians. Much of the country is lowland and flat-ish, but a large portion is home to the most pristine wilderness in Europe. Much more affordable than the US or Western Europe. Friendly people, delicious food, a romance language, and a diverse, beautiful landscape are all compelling reasons. I too am looking for a new home!

My 2022 ADV150 served me well!! I had her for two full years, but couldn’t afford to keep her AND get a new bike, so I opted to trade her in for the 300 Rally last month. Hardest decision I’ve ever made concerning a vehicle bc of how much I loved my ADV, but I don’t regret it one iota since I’m now in love with riding manual 😍 I can comfortably do 75mph if I have to since I upgraded my seat to a wide comfort seat, whereas with my ADV the limiter kicked in at 66. Anyway I miss it but the trade off was worth it!

I just did a 600 mile ride on my BV 400. That thing is a monster. I was going to get a Hunter 350 but leaning towards the Speed 400. I'm debating to keep the scoot, because for long trips, there's nothing like the BV. At 58 and riding for only 4 years, small bikes is where its at. 🤙🤙 I think I always get the wave when in open/back roads. In the city, I rarely get it. Which BTW who cares, I love my scooter and TBH their practicality, and versatility is way underrated in the US.

[@joe90h34]

Soooooo happy to hear you are also switched on with your world views etc too. Love from England and to hell with the WEF etc. 🇬🇧 🇺🇸. Love the small bore bike content by the way, it gets away from the world of ego that biking has become just like most things.

[@adamrobinette6832]

I bought a Honda Navi, and it's just so damn fun. I am fortunate enough to live in a small city, where it's surrounded by rural roads. So no matter which neighboring town you are going to, there is a sub 50 mph road somewhere that can get you there. And so I'm never really having to tax my Navi to keep up. It's the epitome of 'perception of speed, with not much speed'. It's small, stupidly agile, punchy from 0-30, and you can wring it out all day long. And so it 'feels' like you are going fast, when you absolutely are not, LOL! What's been interesting is the number of compliments and questions I get. I live in a county full of compensators. Nothing but obscenely loud cruisers, and over tuned sport bikes. I have literally never seen a Navi on the road here. Mine is the first I've seen rolling down any street where I live. They are so not a thing here that our local Honda dealership still has 2023 models, when 2025 models are about to come out. And so people see my Navi, they are totally curious. And by the time they are done talking with me, they want one.

[@dpetrick]

I have a Spyder F3L and a Honda XR150L. I enjoy riding them both. The XR150 is so much fun on the back roads here in rural Iowa. Spyder is great for long rides.

It was cloudy when around the time of the eclipse but before it happened it was able to peek through the clouds so the me and my family could see the eclipse. I wasn't expecting to see it but i was happy i could see it. Luckily we didn't have to go far as the town we usually get groceries from was in the totality so we just went and had some lunch and waited for it.

[@arthurcayer6630]

Speaking of Small Bore, I'm truly enjoying my latest bike; a Kawasaki Versus X 300. It's surprisingly capable on the highway. In fact, I decided to participate in the Motorcycle Grand Tour of Texas this year. Typically, it's done on Harleys and Goldwings, so I thought why not try it on 296cc. Today, I rode down to Port Lavaca to log the Halfmoon Reef Lighthouse. That's my 9th tour stop - only 41 to go! 😁

[@QuasiMotard]

Howdy, Art! It's good to hear from you. I've considered the Versus X 300 a few times. That new Eliminator 450 engine in a Versus 300 chassis might be a great competitor to the CB500X if Kawi can keep the weight below 400 lbs... lighter is better. Cheers! 😉👍 --QM

[@veloroadpig1]

Went two up with my wife in Bermuda for a week. Scooters are so much fun especially when most everyone else is riding one.

[@QuasiMotard]

I've spent time in Europe and South America, where scooters and motorcycles are the primary transportation for large portions of the population. It's impressive to see the difference in traffic behavior and the lack of hostility (compared to the USA). At first, traffic flows appear to be random and chaotic... nobody seems to follow any rules or lane disciplines. However, after just an hour or two, you realize there is a shared rhythm and implied courtesy between the cagers and motorcyclists. Everyone makes room for each other, and the territorial BS of trying to intimidate each other is absent... the polar opposite of driving in the States. It's a refreshing change, to say the least. 😉👍 --QM

[@grominwithrob1339]

I explore and free roam on the small bikes far more. Scooters have been getting pretty popular here in Michigan.

[@RebelCowboysRVs]

My little 230cc cvt bike does everything I need in the Mountains around Chattanooga as long as I stay off the Interstate. My friends on there bigger bikes spend more time catching up with me than the other way around. I am faster off the line. They just have power left above the speed limit. I run in to my bikes limits only in the long straight 20% grades. The curvy ones have a 40mph limit that I can still do. The straight ones are 55 an I cant maintain that in a 20% climb. Still looking at a classic 350 as an upgrade but it would be pinned on the limiter on the Interstate so it would just do it. It would be more an upgrade in the look an design of the bike than performance. I don't get disrespect on my currently bike as it looks like a big cruiser until you look closer. But When you do, well.. Probably would have bought one already if the closest dealer wasn't in Knoxville.

[@GreenMod1]

A comment on small-(ish) bikes. I have only had 3 motorcycles over 400cc in 55 years of riding. From about 1987 to 2024. I had 3 motorcycles as my "main" ride. A 125 and 2, 250cc scooters. I still have a 250cc yamaha scooter. I have had this one for 10 years. I started riding at a time when a 350 was a big bike. (I did have a 500 a 750 and 800 at different times) but my absolute favorite is 250/350. But I had a 125 for 19 years.

[@nonsolorasatura9093]

Inside the city here, but probably in the rest of Europe too, scooter and some maxiscooter are the majority. A lot more scooter than cars or moto. Since the street are small and recently the price of cars is becaming inaccessible due the continuos update of pollution, to force people to use public transport, using the electric stuff as a cover.

[@G-Hawks]

Alex reminds me of shadetree surgeon.

[@lstavenhagen]

lol... I just posted a similar limerick about my africa twin vs my super cub on the discord server. Where the thought of just going "full circle" back to a super cub and trail 125 only is a new potential goal. If only I could solve the terrorist pickup truck/SUV problem.... I'd sell my two other bikes, use the proceeds to get a trail and just stay there for the duration and never get anything bigger/faster ever again... :P

[@stevek4449]

Very nice HUD overlay what software and hardware combination did you use for it?

[@QuasiMotard]

Thanks for the feedback! The telemetry data for the HUD is recorded by my GoPro Hero11 camera and my Garmin Zumo GPS. The gauge overlay is generated using a third-party program called Telemetry Overlay: goprotelemetryextractor.com/ I stitch everything together with Adobe Premiere Pro to create the final videos. Creating the overlays is a lot of extra work, but I think the end results are worth the effort. Cheers! 😉👍 --QM

[@jefffarrer9585]

It's what is suitable for what you want to do. In city I use my Liberty 150 scoot for around town use. It'll slip and slide through traffic better than any larger bike. Can I use it on the highways...yep...but it's neither comfortable nor what it's designed for. When I want to cruise the freeways I use my VStar 1300, another great bike but not really all that much fun slipping and sliding through city traffic. Between the 2 I can cover everything I need to do, but I'm 70 so testosterone doesn't enter into the equation. :)

[@sonics747]

In city riding (stop and go traffic) scooters emit less heat to the legs and having CVT transmission has it's advantages over traditional motorcycles. My BMW 1000RR barely gets ridden but my Yamaha N max 155CC scooter gets ridden daily.

I've been having what appears to be an intermittent fuel pump failure on my 2018 Honda PCX150. My boss, who also loves Hondas, doesn't believe my conspiracies about the intermittent nature. It always seems to be on Friday in the afternoon that the fuel pump won't make the priming noise. There's cranking, but no ignition. At first, I thought maybe cell phone or other radio interference was making the computer mess up, but once I learned about the fuel pump priming noise, I noticed i wasn't hearing it when it wouldn't start. I want to say there's a loose connection somewhere. But if that was the case, wouldn't the fuel pump work after giving it a shake? The pcx has never cut out once it's started. Only when trying to start does the fuel pump issue happen. I've got the wiring diagram, and it doesn't seem to even have a relay. It's just wired in directly to the computer and goes through a fuse that is also for the ignition and starter motor, and since those work the fuse, that should be fine. Anyone else have a similar issue with their PCX and know what to try? I'll have to open it up eventually, but any advice would be appreciated.

[@geraldburmeister9637]

I have had that exact same issue years ago on a 2000 cbr600f4 and it was the fuel pump.

[@4chanresearchdivision107]

@geraldburmeister9637 So you just ended up replacing it? I won't mind doing that, but its kinda a big ordeal to get to the gas tank. Thanks for the reply, though.

[@geraldburmeister9637]

@@4chanresearchdivision107 Yes I just replaced the fuel pump but that was a carburated bike so the fuel pump would be a bit different as they have a built in pressure switch and a lower pressure pump. I'm not real familiar with fuel injection fuel pump or the schematic but what you describe is exactly how my old cbr acted.

Quasi. What is that panoramic mirror on the windscreen for?

[@QuasiMotard]

That's the RiderScan Blindspot Mirror: amzn.to/3nJjXLp . If that one is out of stock, then there are several knock-offs that are cheaper and seem to work almost as well. You can search Amazon or Ebay for "parabolic blindspot mirror" to find alternatives. This mirror really helps situational awareness in traffic. There is a learning curve to use it properly because the image is distorted by the mirror's convex shape, but it becomes second nature after a few hours of riding. It's very rare for me to be caught off-guard with a cager hiding in my blind spot while I'm riding with one of these mirrors. Cheers! 😉👍 --QM

[@madogblue]

@QuasiMotard Thanks never heard of it.

[@williampatton3444]

Some years ago on a Saturday morning my buddy and me were on our bikes in a rural/farming area in south Miami-Dade County where there is little traffic and we came to a four way stop. As was our routine when we come to a stop we would always stop on either side of the lane which would give vehicles space to go in between us. I would always watch my rear view mirror and on this day we had just stopped and I looked in my rear view mirror and saw a car coming between us at 30mph and as it past us it swerved off the road. Needless to say if we had stopped like most bikers do next to each other I would not be telling you this story. Living in a city on a bike is really tough but in our case we were out in the boonies but it just goes to show you it can happen any where or any time. Keep your head on that swivel!

[@QuasiMotard]

Yep, situational awareness is the key to survival on two wheels. I learned to keep my bike in gear and watch my mirrors while stopped in traffic. After at least one car is stopped behind me (as a crash buffer), then I'll relax a bit. That habit has saved my bacon more times than I can count. I've been able to scoot up between other cars just in time to prevent potentially fatal rear-end accidents. I've seen the cars that I was sitting behind just a few seconds before get compressed to 50% of their original length... right next to me! I would have been the meat in that metal sandwich if I hadn't been paying attention! 😉👍 --QM

[@conniewaite1371]

Have you heard about hondas new E bikes? Cub E,Dax E, and Zoomer E

[@QuasiMotard]

I haven't seen anything about them lately, but the "E-Cub" prototypes have been teased at the motorcycle shows for nearly a decade. Battery technology and range is the issue with electric motorcycles. They might be fun in smaller urban centers, but my normal riding chores are outside the range of any of the current offerings. Even the "extended range" options from Zero for $20K+ only offer ~85-120 miles of highway range, and my daily commutes are easily 60+ miles. Range anxiety is a real issue when you realize that you'll be stuck and need to wait 2+ hours to recharge somewhere before you can finish your day. 😉👍 --QM

It's more fun to ride a slow scoot fast, than it is to ride a fast scoot slow.

I ride a 150cc and I ride it to any terrain

What do u use to display your lean angle?

[@QuasiMotard]

Thanks for the feedback! The telemetry data for the HUD is recorded by my GoPro Hero11 camera and my Garmin Zumo GPS. The gauge overlay is generated using a third-party program called Telemetry Overlay: goprotelemetryextractor.com/ I stitch everything together with Adobe Premiere Pro to create the final videos. Creating the overlays is a lot of extra work, but I think the end results are worth the effort. Cheers! 😉👍 --QM

Thailand is my retirement destination

Have you seen - "c90 adventures" ?

[@QuasiMotard]

Oh, yes... Ed March is legendary in the small-bore community. I've been riding and exploring on small bikes since before Ed was born, but he's still one of my heroes! 😉👍 --QM

As I said above, there is an argentinian youtuber who´s going from Argentina to Alaska in a C90 Econo, an 80s one I guess. He´s now in Mexico. His name is Pablo Imhoff. Take a look at him.

I carry my riding gear inside with me. The only time i leave it on my bike is out in very rural areas. I've had chewing gum stuck inside my helmet. Driving in city young adults spit out the car window at me. Little bast****

Scooters are Like Big Girls;-) Told the Sales Rep my First bike was a CH250 for a few years & He Smiled Laughed and said “You can Handle any Hog” Need to replace the rear drive in that 40yr old relic for a Grocery Getter. FXLRS has nothing but Motor…

Homeless people steal gloves, I have had gloves stolen out of panniers on my bicycles a few times. Gloves and bike lights are top priority for them.

[@Barry-26]

Tmax 500 is more fun too

[@leeinwis]

Yes, duh..

[@GameOn82]

The entire Balkan is cheap for living and great fun, especially with a Western paycheck. But the corruption is so bad and nothing gets done if you don't "know a guy". Maybe Spain to consider ;)

[@QuasiMotard]

I spent time in Spain before they joined the EU, and their economy under the peseta was excellent. I haven't been back there since 2001, but the memories are great (that's where I met my wife). Cheers! 😉👍 --QM

[@DuggleBogey]

Andrew Tate moved to Romania....it did not go well.

[@QuasiMotard]

True. However, Andrew lives a little "loud" and often pokes the government bear. That's not a wise move unless you have a LOT of money and power to bully your way through the elites' power game. 😉 --QM

[@RideWithAlex]

It's not that bad over here, we are a country part of the EU, yes there's still a bit of eastern block mentality but if you go out of the capital or the big city's into the country side people are very kind warm and welcoming and always want to feed you, constantly, they can't say hi without offering food =))
