Seriously man, Yammie doesn't appreciate art. It's just a rendition man, an interpretation of the Ninja 300. It's the NFT Ninja 300. Who cares if they took a speedo calibrated for kmh and faced it with mph. The new world doesn't have borders, it's all cyber. This is Banksy shit: build it and run it through the shredder!

[@tjroelsma]

Contrary to Yammie I see a lot of positives: - It actually runs out of the box. - It almost tracks straight out of the box. - It doesn't lose parts while you're driving it. That's already a lot of positives for a Chinese bike. The sad thing is that with a little more effort this bike could have been so much better, as all the basics seem to be there.

[@toddwebb7521]

If they copied a twin of some kind it would definitely rev a lot higher

[@tjroelsma]

@@toddwebb7521 Yes, but for some reason they chose to mount a single cylinder engine instead. It could well be that this is an engine they're already using in scooters or other bikes and they just decided to use it instead of developing a twin. That being said: with modern technology you can do much better with a small single cylinder engine than this bike does. This looks like the engine is either old tech or simply low tech that's been mounted in a bike that blings it up to make it look like a modern machine.

[@N269]

@@toddwebb7521I think it's a single.

[@EffendiChung]

Except for the engine build quality. Granted its a honda clone, but the material and tolerances are often way off. You could try doing stuff to made it more powerful, but just see how long it will last until it blew. You'll find any Japanese bikes would be much enjoyable to ride, much more fixable, upgradeable and really worth it to do so.

I don't think that's the case. He was showing like 76-77mph on the freeway and getting passed constantly, but 77mph would equate to 34mph and he would have looked like he was standing still. He would have had to get off the freeway just for safety.

[@alex.m901]

That could well be. Speedo indicates 70 and Yammie feels like he's doing 40-45 MPH. 70km/h = 43.5 MPH.

Which is exactly he felt he was going

[@jakegarrett8109]

My Chinese bike shows like 70 when I'm doing 50 (it's duel measurement, so it's showing like 110 km), it's so far off it's more accurate to read the km and divide by 2...

The speedo thing is very common with Chinese bikes.

I’m 16 and really want a bike but on a tight budget. I found a venom x22 on Facebook for 1.2k. Considering my age, budget and the fact I’ve never rode a motorcycle, should I take the chance or is it not worth it? I would really appreciate your input yammie 🙏

[@jasonswiatkowski9127]

Please have some respect for your own life and just buy a used Jap sport bike. An older one isnt much over $1000. And it wont kill you.

[@xEndgameRA]

Again, please don't die on this bike.

[@jackbruck277]

I bought my first bike. 1981 yamaha xj750 seca. Thanks for the yamaha inspiration. I can't wait to start my project.

[@cruze86]

Whenever yammie tries a chinese bike on road I can’t hold my laugh 😂

[@dirtneckdiary7588]

It seems like there is a lot of aggression toward the grom. At least the grom is honest. It doesn't call its self a supervisor.

[@peterskeates509]

So refreshing to get an honest review.

[@mbailey8790]

Tbh I was never planning on using this bike to drive anywhere over 5 miles only in town where the speed limit is 40mph. I just want something I can buy for less that $3,000 and throw away after 6 months. I just don’t wanna buy a $9,000 bike that I don’t know how to shift gears on and not sure if I’m even a fan of riding. If not something like this could you pls recommend me a bike that is most importantly safer than this hunk of junk and learner friendly. I’m just scared of gunning the throttle on an expensive bike and losing control and crashing 😂😂

[@nerychristian]

Why would you want to waste $3000 on this junk? Then after a few months, when it breaks down, do you think anyone is going to buy it from you? What if you decide you do like to ride? You'll have to spend another 6k to get a real bike.

[@BobbyScottJr]

I bought a Zongshen 400cc from CSC motorcycles in California as my first bike a year ago. Not a bad bike, runs great except the first time I hit 79mph something happened and the top speed is barely 65 right now. Still runs great, but it's very slow and I don't know what else to change. Parked it and bought a Ducati supersport.

[@ItsDaJax]

If I had money to burn, I'd just do some crazy shit with one of these bikes, just for the fuck of it.

[@abbyjo75]

I'd never buy one. But if someone gave me one, it might be worth spending a little for some random parts bike, start bolting used parts onto this new chassis, and try to make something trackable out of it.

[@Deo_on2]

Is he running the bike with the shipping oil? 😮

[@mytmousemalibu]

God, I hope so 😆

[@rozzbourn3653]

i think so. no break in either.

[@stanwbaker]

He's running the bike with the break-in oil after several on-camera "Nah, I'm not doing that" moments during PDI. For some reason it's performing badly.

[@ZelarUK]

Just seen this video 😂 love how you hold nothing back. If you ever feel brave enough you should review the Lexmoto Lxr SY125-10

[@ukvamp]

Hoping he takes it to the track at some point 🤣👍

[@Etb323]

Could it be that the brake cable is too tight so it’s always breaking a little?

[@gebo1808]

“Brake cable”? As in “no hydraulics”??

[@meizunote5113]

That's a silly motorcycle by your standard but may be a wow one for a lot of common people in some underdeveloped or developing countries, who knows!

[@meathead365]

Yes, I think you are right

[@alrecks619]

Honda, Suzuki, and Yamaha probably already do the job for most of those countries, though.

[@nerychristian]

@@alrecks619 Don't forget Royal Enfield in India

[@flashesbuck]

You're comparing this to 3,500 used Japanese bikes. This is not 3500 bike. You are not comparing apples to apples. This is a brand new $3,000 bike. You would still have to pay tax title and all the other fees on a used 3500 Japanese bike bringing the cost up over 4K. I hate it when people make these comparisons this is a brand new bike shipped to your door without the hassle of a salesman. I purchased a dual sport through venom Motorsports and found them to be quite accommodating and quick on shipping. I was not hassled and the bike I received I believe was well within the quality that I expected.

[@nerychristian]

Yeah, but you are forgetting one thing. This cheap bike will not last you very long. You'll be lucky to get a year out of it. And when it breaks down, good luck trying to sell it. Better off buying a slightly used entry level Japanese bike, with low miles on it and clean condition. Those bikes will last you several years.

[@johnlopez805]

You are brave yam

[@s.r.8260]

I got a bike from that company, 2022 venom z250cc. Been riding to and fro from work for over a year, still runs with ease. It's not fast, but 70 mph (I'm a bit too heavy to max out the 95mph) is fast enough for the small town I live in. Its manual too.

[@mahamadoutrawally413]

Hi i'm about to Purchase the same bike the Z250. How is yours holding up? Would you say it's worth the buy?

[@dsakko]

Yeah sounds about right. I had a rip off of the Honda 250R. From new it needed a new chain, head stem bearing, tyres, clutch cable. Every bolt would vibrate loose. Run in was so important and needed maybe 5 200mi oil changes before it was ready.

[@caseylynn6687]

The speedo could be in Km/h

[@targon709]

My boy over here using his whole brain. Didn't even think of that and I'm European xd

[@ironkcirb285]

That second 5 stands for it's total bhp. And is it reading in kph?

[@demondeji2207]

I have it and it’s such a shit bike anyone looking to get one don’t get it. It shipped to my house with a fuel leak and the problems keep continuing don’t get this piece of dog shit 💀

[@ChronikTheory]

Get a lifan kpm200 and review that. Ive seen other reviews on it but I wanna see yours. By all accounts its pretty solid. Do it papa.

[@sparkplug4220]

I bought the boom 250, the speedo is off but i doesn’t have that wandering thing on yours. I got it as my first time bike I got it 100% assembled. I take it on the back roads to work. It this cheap bike . But I do have fun taking it to work

[@flatbill2]

I bought the x22R Max, arriving Thursday... We will see what happens when it gets here.

[@TheSchoolBoyQ]

Thinking of becoming a rider and this guy’s riding around the highways I drive everyday thanks for the viewpoint 😂 and shoutout from atx
