Добавлен 28 мар 2023
Here I make videos with and about my Mini Moto the Kymco Spade 150.
I also post First Ride videos where I review and ride motorcycles that I have little to no experience with. This way you can see my first and honest thoughts.
I do not focus on motorcycle specs because I’ve learned that just because it looks good on paper doesn’t mean it’s a good motorcycle.

Do you Really NEED your Motorcycle License?
Hi, I can't see protection against wind ?🙄
There was a small windshield
Do your homework if releasing videos...half arsed attempt.
I focus on the ride. You can find the specs anywhere online.
@MidgetMoto GS shaft drive...Moses was aware of that.
It’s interesting the people who get the most butt hurt about getting something wrong in a video is BMW fan bois.
@MidgetMoto If something is worth doing....its worth doing right...nout to do with brand. Good luck
I can tell you are not used to Harley's. It also the wrong size bike for you. Turn signals are common like that on Harley's. It's intentionally minimalistic. The sound is muffled to make sure it meets legal sound standards. Lots of people change the exhaust. Also, you can have the pegs and controls moved forward. I'm 6'0" and I have a 2024 Street Bob. Not for everyone but perfect for some. I use it for around town transportation.
This was in fact my first Harley ride ever.
6 foot 4 you should be able to flat foot any bike you try.
The Ducati Saul sport was close
Which one 350 or 390 u recommend for beginner off road rider over 310lbs ? About your height ?
350 no question
What’s your weight about?
Like to give people context for my experience
How does it do going up steep hills? I live in the country and I want to cruise back roads with it, but there is a lot of steep hills
Unfortunately I don’t own it and I live near Houston where it’s basically flat everywhere.
@@MidgetMoto ok thank you 🙏. I’ve asked around the general consensus seemed to be as long as I don’t want to hold 60 going up steep hills it should be fine. I want it as a first bike. Hoping I can find someone that can tell me. Thanks again!.
It's really hard to go past this bike. I was set on the Heritage/Standard version, but I like the design of this better, seat and brakes are better too. Can even raise the bars if the lean position gets annoying.
It was a great ride!
Need some updated videos with your KYMCO spade
What would you like to see?
@@MidgetMoto cruises around town
Z900rs is made in Japan and the z900 is made in Thailand. That was a big influence on my choice
Ah interesting!
This is the only bike I’d consider trading for. I currently ride CTX 700. This is just a bigger, faster, but heavier version.
I have not ridden the 700 yet but plan to soon!
Ok so which cruiser bike beats this one in your opinion? I'm looking for a second bike. Just sold my shadow 750.
Depends on what you want. If you want a nice relaxing ride and not too exciting, this is it. If you want some excitement but still nice try the eliminator 450, Vulcan 650. Those have the ninja engines
The K is fun to ride, very powerful and sexy looking. The shift assist is superb, but be aware. If they start causing issues, mechanical/electrical and you are out of warranty, be prepared to use your CC, cause it will COST. Always own one with factory coverage. Moreover, not many dealers around. More likely, you will need to ride far for any service. Better to find out if the dealer can give you a loaner, just in case.
Good tip!
@@MidgetMoto I had 2 of them, over the years. Used 2016 GTLE and new Grand America. Sadly, both gave me not so good taste. I always had something going on. Oil changes was a pain with the sump oil pan. Sold them both and now I am on a new Goldwing DCT. AMAZING BIKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@alp3781 the goldwing always seems to blow people away
@@MidgetMoto Its my first Wing ever. Sorry, I didn't make that move sooner. Its a bike to go to the moon and back. Perfect? NOPE, but very close to it. 25K, so far and ZERO, I mean not even one problem. Simple to work on, parts are cheap and available all over.
I just test rode the Bobber and putting it into Sport makes a massive difference. Also the rear brake is really good.
Nice!
I cannot stand the turn indicators being on separate controls. I do like the idea of a pseudo hidden gauge cluster.
Ya the blinkers got me for a little bit. And the Speedo was fine for the most part
The best bike u can buy would put in rain tires 🧝🌟⚡🏝️
Yes been driving bikes over 50 years been caught in the rain meny meny times so tire pressure very important most of all tires with lots of cross marks to crab the wet roads Rain tires for all surfaces except ice forget it
I owned this bike now and so far I love it. I haven’t driven this bike on a long trip yet but I will.
Nice to hear!
I have a 49cc do I need one?
In most states you will not legally NEED a motorcycle license. But if you watch the full video you will see many reasons why you should still get one regardless of engine size. Do you Really NEED your Motorcycle License? ruclips.net/video/4iy_cMFVIM4/видео.html
Ninja drive train = high rpm. Kawi went cheap again. Instead of putting an appropriate drive train. Just like Kawi using a plastic skid plate on their ATV. Kawi doesn’t want to put much into their products. Their 2x2 uses a Chinese Chi-Com engine! Not even a Kawi engine! Keep it.
This bike doesn’t have a ninja engine. It’s way different. The S650 Vulcan uses the Ninja 650 engine
no real biking experience for me. had a versus 1000 se for a few thousand miles, was sooo happy when I switched to a z900 rs and was riding a real bike again
Interesting
the only thing i didn´t like is the price hahahaha...me myself ride one of the last BMW R 1250 GS Adventure 2024 and i love it!!!!
Nice!
I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING THIS BIKE. I THINK I GOING TO PULL THE TRIGGER. UNREAL BIKE FOR THE PRICE. HONDA RELIABILITY AS WELL. THANKS FOR THE VIDEO. QUESTON.... SINCE THEY MADE IT ONE YEAR IS IT HARD TO FIND PARTS FOR THIS BIKE?
I have not had to buy any parts but I can imagine it would be!
If it wasn’t for inflation it would probably be more like $8,000 to $10,000
Good point!
I have the 2023 and I absolutely love it
948 cc
I have an older 1500 vulcan. This is a nice motorcycle but only a 900cc. I looked at a brand new 900 had the big windshield floor boards studied seat. If I was looking for a ride around the neighborhood only bike it would be a looker for sure.but I'm hoping they bring back the 1700 vulcan next year I heard they were. Then I'll jump on it fast. I need highway cruising motorcycle with big engine.
Mine > Iridium spark plugs Bread box out Akrapovic muffler SAI disabled ÉCU flashed Full Barnett clutch Continental tires On Dyno = 108 hp & 95 torque ❤❤❤
Sounds sweet!
Wonder if some Honda parts are interchangeable at all on these, i got one for 800 bucks
Good deal! Not sure about the parts
50 in 5th gear is good ,almost 4k . your complaint i think is wind blowoff from the the giant truck and only 1 hand on the bar. at 5.16. another miss is the 270 firing order. on the gas by that truck blow back it is digging . that is torque. just understand the engine. gas and go.
Good to know!
1st gear is lower on the RS than the Z900. 2nd gear is the same. Therefore it's a bigger jump between 1st and 2nd, hence more clunky. 5th to 6th is clunkier too because RS also has taller 6th ratio. Shifting from 2nd through 5th should be the same.
Good info!
The Ninja 400 is a solid choice for a beginner or someone who is looking to get in to trackdays at a lower price point than a 600
A little uncomfortable for someone my size!
@@MidgetMoto adjustable rear sets and moving the bars would make a big difference for you.
Yeah im thinking of getting this one as my first motorcycle
How is the engine vibration compared to Rebel?
Unfortunately I have not had a chance to ride the Rebel. But the vibration on this what not bad at all! Very smooth bike. I really liked it
I've had this bike for two months. Regarding the quick shift, it works GREAT if you are on the throttle fairly hard. If you are accelerating gradually it is a bit abrupt. I also haven't been bothered by the handlebar vibration. To me, it is barely noticeable.
Good to know!
How heavy it is? I am 5 feet 10 and 175 lbs. do u recommned? Im getting a very good deal about 8000 canadian dollar for a low milage one here in Canada
750 pound. Does it feel like 750? No. It’s well balanced while idle and feels super light when riding.
I'm 5'6" and have the 2014 1300 Deluxe. To me it's heavy (like a tank) when moving it around the garage. Or on and off the centerstand. Get out on the road and it's very nimble.
Cool video you right on all the issues with the ST I'VE got a 23. Did the foreard controls, seat, raisers, and best of all a Stage 2 S&S 475 Cam and dyno tune. Now its alive....
Nice man!
My favorite bike that Indian makes. It’s so plush and comfortable. Also really powerful and nimble. I wouldn’t mind owning this bike someday.
Nice!
First review I've found that did an actual test. Thanks! You should try doing a test where you wet a tshirt instead and see how it compares to the vest.
Good idea!
@@MidgetMoto Thanks - let me know if you end up doing it, I'd love to hear the results.
The bike you're on, has the stock catalytic converter replaced. You're probably aware of it now. I got my heritage 2nd hand. The cat has already been removed, but the stock muffler remains, which I think has a great design. However it is too loud for my taste. I have contacted my local CFMoto and hopefully get buy the catalytic converter and bring it back to stock. As long as I can hear the exhaust note, that's all that matters to me. I don't need the world to hear my bike. Great bike. Even with stock exhaust, I have seen taking it to the dyno and get a tune, will gain noticeable results.
It was fun to ride!
They are called mid controls bud.
Ya I definitely did not like them. Might work well for people 5’9” or less
That's a 2023 BMW rninet for starters. The model was superseded in 2024 with the R12 Ninet. With 109-bhp it has more power than most of its retro-styled competitors, such as the Triumph Bobnnevilles. I'll give you that the OEM seat sucks though, replace with a Sargent. Flipping out the exhaust for a full Ti Akrapovic one will bring grins. Nice review of the mirrors, however.
Thanks for the info!
Would this be a good 1st bike?
It definitely won’t get away from you. Was very relaxing bike to ride
@@MidgetMoto thanks for the reply, can it handle a passenger ? About 320 lbs in total.
@@AtheerDawood-bt9wr yes!
Honda Shadow 750 is a great first cruiser and it only weighs 550lbs. you can buy one for about 3k and with low miles. I just sold mine for 3k with 9k miles on it and it was clean.
SE owner here, what i dont like is Kawasaki did not include Brembo master break unit and rear Brembo break even though they charged a premium over the base model. Stock rear break is very soft
Weird!
948cc
Are you in The Woodlands, TX? Looks VERY familiar!
This ride did take place in the woodlands!
@@MidgetMoto I grew up there. Haven't been back in over a decade. I thought I recognized it!
Aint even midgets here, that's what I stopped in for !
Good looking bike all in all. I dunno about those tall bars though
They felt better than I thought they would
I must admit if I had the choice between this bike and the new CF Moto CL-C 450 I’d take the CF Moto.
I haven’t had a chance to ride it yet, but the CFMoto 700 I rode was pretty good
@@MidgetMoto The 450 CF Moto cruiser has real style compared to this Kawasaki.
Hello wonderful people ,can you explain to me what the world custom for a motorbike means please thank you to all .😊
In this case I thinks it’s just the model name. I don’t think anything is actually custom on this bike.
Bless thank you 😊
@@MidgetMoto It comes it 2 forms, classic (big fenders) and custom(small thing fenders)
Shift up into 6th, it's OD. I get 40+ mpg on my bike. Got 58 for dragon and Cherohola skyway
You unfortunately i was in a group of people during a Kawasaki demo ride and we never got going fast enough for me to shift into 6th.
Agreed, shift sooner. It has so much torque, 60mph in 6th is no problem. The hike is geared short. I get 42mpg taking it easy, about 36mpg when I ride it hard. 30mpg?? Must have been sitting idling for a while a brought the average down.
Excellent video! Which seat would you put on the Indian Scout Classic to make it more comfortable?
I’m not sure. That day was my first time ever riding an Indian. I am not familiar with their upgrades
