Thanks! Appreciate that!

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed Gonna be racing another one this coming Sunday actually so stay tuned

Haha yeah those bigger bikes with snappier power really take the energy out of ya

Can confirm! My buddy is killing it on his in the A class

True!

We’re getting there!

I second that

Thanks for the rec!

Hyperlite moto. Trust me, it has the skid plate you want....

Haha yeah some of them can be gnarlyyyy but that was just the goal! To have fun

Thanks!!

It’s the crf250f The beginner trail bike. Super tame not aggressive at all. Stiffening up the suspension does help quite a bit from what I’ve heard tho

Yeah I’m thinking about upgrading to one that wraps around a little more

It’s a decent option but just be aware that the learning curve on a yz125 will be a bit steeper than on something like a beginner trail bike. Also, the yz125 sits a bit taller than beginner trail bikes so you’ll have to learn how to balance the bike as well at the same time you’re learning the clutch and how the power delivers. Not entirely impossible, but just know that those are some things you’ll probably run into when learning on that bike. I made a video on the differences between bikes which may give you some more insight: ruclips.net/video/I9o67DJ7M4o/видео.htmlsi=c8lwNw8MOI_sGxWZ But feel free to drop a comment if you have any more questions! Best of luck

@@notsoupmoto thanks! You explained really well, the only video that I didn’t have to replay because I didn’t understand

@ glad to hear it!

@@notsoupmoto i wanted to ask you why you’re awake but realised, different time zones

@ haha yep on that Easter Standard Time

yeah I think it's a combination of both of those. e-start technology has gotten good enough to where it's unlikely to have a failure, plus it's a heavy bike so they were probably also thinking of cutting weight. I've had my battery go dead because I left the key on but the bike would still start up when I bump started it. definitely don't have to push it 10 miles with a dead battery haha

yep that's why it's very important to practice proper braking technique until it becomes second nature. once you do that, your default action in a panic situation will be progressive braking rather than locking them up

Glad you liked the video!

I totally agree and yeah the thousands of dollars thing was kind of hyperbolic haha But I guess my point was just that you don’t necessarily need the suspension upgrades to ride over rough terrain safely if you understand certain techniques for riding that terrain. Although, yes 100% upgrading the suspension will make for a much much smoother ride overall. But yeah you’re right, you could easily do a nice suspension upgrade on the crf250f for around 600-700 bucks

Lmaoooo

Haha yeah it’s unfortunate:(

Heal up:(

I can understand that. It’s unfortunate that it seems like most products are getting cheaper and cheaper

To make yourself more comfortable on it you’d probably want to get a set of taller bars and stiffen up the suspension a bit. But for light trail riding, this bike is perfect!

Ty so much brother. I appreciate it. Love the video. That helped me make up my mind about buying that bike. I wanted the KLX300 but for the price, it's hard to beat the 250F......

Who makes a taller handlebar for the 250 F, and who does suspension work in the Houston TX area? If you happen to know. Thanks again.

Unfortunately I’m not familiar with companies in that area But if you call up any moto suspension places they may be able to do it or they could put you in the right direction. I’ve heard a lot of people online mention Bruce’s suspension

As for the handlebars, there are a ton of companies that make bars of various shapes and sizes. The crf runs a 7/8 size bar so any 7/8 bar will fit. You can also get a 1 1/8 bar to fit with an adapter.

Thanks for the suggestion! Yes I’ll definitely consider making more videos on the 125f in the future

Hell yeah😂 gotta keep your sanity up somehow

🎉 🙌🏼

Niceee congrats! You’re gonna have a blast

@ yea can’t wait!

@@eatingwithoutyoutube I get what you’re saying but e-bikes are a thing now and also backpacks exist. I agree the noise factor to combustion engine bikes is a big disadvantage but I wouldn’t say it’s something to write off completely. Firearms for example are also extremely loud, but I bet you wouldn’t say firearms would be impractical in an apocalypse.

Haha for real! They gave us pumpkins to carry around for a lap and if you brought it back in tact you’d get a prize after the race 🎃

@@notsoupmoto love it keep on riding ✊

Not me lol That’s why I said four stroke trail bike would be ideal. Maintenance intervals are wayyyyy more spread out compared to competition dirt bikes. ADV would definitely work in some cases but they massive so it would kinda defeat the purpose of getting to many places larger vehicles like atvs could not get to

Riding with night vision would be so cool! That’s a cool idea with the illuminators. Would be a neat video to make in the future

Yeah that’s definitely a big downside

Thanks I appreciate that! I’d love to get a 250x! They’re so sick I’ve been thinking about redoing the suspension on my yz125 for woods and maybe putting a flywheel weight on it just because that’d be cheaper than buying a whole new bike. In the future tho for sure I wanna get a dedicated woods race bike

@@dctrdredge2139 thanks for the comment! I’d say if you just plan on riding for fun and you mainly ride on quad trails and not a whole lot of technical stuff, the crf250f is more than adequate and yeah from what I’ve heard, with just a few suspension upgrades and some gummy tires it makes it even more capable. I’ve found that it’s just so easy to ride which makes it much more enjoyable and therefore I want to ride more. If you get the chance to sit on one, I think that’ll be the deciding factor. If you’re okay with the smaller sized bike then I think it’s a great choice.

Nah PA

@ I was close lol.. one of the best places I’ve ridden was in PA. “Lost Trails” near Scranton. If it’s in your area i definitely recommend giving it a shot.. a lot of good technical trails, rocky hill climbs, and beautiful scenery.. I found a trail that ran next to a crystal clear mountain stream for a good couple miles.. 🫡

Definitely gonna have to check that one out! Thanks for the tip I’m in western PA so that would be a bit of a trek but definitely doable

Nah fam that bike I’m riding lasts for hours You can easily get 40+ miles on a tank

That's why you keep the vitamin water bottles full of gas in your backpack.

Pro level strat

Would love to get one of those!

Haha yeah I agree! Definitely would suck and don’t want it to happen but would be kindaaaaa cool 👀 in a strange way Appreciate the comment and glad you enjoyed!

@@notsoupmoto If you want to experience lawlessness and fighting for survival, just go to Mexico. You'll be glad we have civilization when (if) you come back.

@salazam Don’t hate on Mexico dawg. Not cool 👎🏼

@@notsoupmoto Ok Brazil, same difference. It's all 3rd world below the border.

@salazam U should stop watching the news and just live your life man

Very true! And I agree, not necessarily a disadvantage just to dirt bikes. I hadn’t thought of it that way. Thanks for the input!

No one knows what a scrim is, dude. And I won't have a dictionary in my bug-out bag.

@@salazam Pretty sure everyone on RUclips has access to many, many online dictionaries. But, since I’m nice, kinda, it’s a type of camouflage which essentially amounts to a textured piece of material (what exactly it is depends on who you get it from and what the quality of it is) with either holes in it, or it’s kind of cut to be designed like leaves. It’s pretty good on its own for something the size of a person when layered with other types of camoflauge (snipers and ghillie suits, kinda), but for something the size of a dirt bike or larger, it could benefit extremely well from being coated in leaves or other plant matter. I’m no camouflage expert so that’s a pretty amateur explanation, but as I said, we’re on RUclips, pretty sure you have access to the internet, and even if you somehow don’t have the two of those together, guess what, I know for a fact there’s also RUclips videos detailing scrim and its use cases.

You definitely didn’t have to do that haha but thanks for the explanation it was very helpful 🙏🏼

@@notsoupmoto You sir are very welcome!

So true you’d have way more ability to carry more weight with the ATV but could still scout ahead and clear trail on the dirt bike

Oh yeah, the UTV would be huge, or even an ATV

that's a dope video! cool channel as well. i'll have to think up a dirt bikes vs zombies video next haha

I was going to comment this! They also made a video about electric dirt bikes (“E-bikes for prepared citizens,” the title is, I believe) and a third video comparing the two and weighing out the pros and cons (that one was titled “Dirt bikes vs e-bikes for prepared civilians,” I think).

I’m gonna be testing out the surron light bee and ultra bee soon so be on the lookout for videos about them!

@@notsoupmoto I believe that it was one of those that were Dirty Civilian was using, they look pretty sick! I wouldn’t personally buy one now with their limited range and long charge time (which I am sure will approve eventually), simply because a typical dirt bike typically has two to three times the range and can be filled up in seconds at the pump or a minute with a gas can. Though I can definitely see the advantages; lack of a clutch and general lack of maintenance for beginners who have extra cash to throw around is great. That just doesn’t appeal or apply to me, though, since both of those would carry over to my car when I get one (I want to do my own maintenance and ideally get one with a manual transmission), and I’m low on personal funds

@@Cringetoefur yeah they’re definitely not for everyone but I’m also excited for when technology improves and some of the range issue gets taken care of

appreciate that! glad you're enjoying :)
