  • @Laga98

    The reason I want one of these so bad is because I'm a small guy myself. It's literally the absolute perfect size for me. I can stand up over it and barely graze the seat, and when I'm sitting down on it my arms are perfectly bent unlike when I ride a Harley with straight arms

This would be perfect for me to take to work since it’s about 15 miles away and all ocean view back roads but at that price I’d rather spend a little more and get something faster. None the less u got a new sub✌️

    I weigh 145 lbs and am 5’7”
    I usually am in cities and live in the city which makes sense to own one of these but also I love going on the freeway and going around places I’ve never been and exploring, should I get one or no? Kinda like the Honda 300 CBR jawn

      Hayden Tornoe I purchased my 2020 about a month ago and don’t regret it a bit! However if you plan to go on the freeways you will have a rough time keeping up odviouosly, I would recommend street use mainly, freeway not so much

    • @quikboarder93
      @quikboarder93 4 года назад +2

      If you’re used to dirt bikes, want something more maneuverable for city riding, and want something that can literally go just about anywhere, I’d strongly consider a dual sport.
      A KLX230 would likely be good for your height and it has 6 gears for expressway riding. XT250 or CRF250L are good too, KLX250 would be iffy and the WR250R or DRZ-400 would likely be too tall. A grom will suffer on expressways.
      What’s nice is if you just end up riding street, you can put more street oriented tires on once the stock ones wear out and basically have a street bike with a ton of suspension travel for hooligan stuff.

    Just a qwik question - might you have a partner or someone on staff who might actually be vertically challenged ( 5ft 5 and under) and perhaps even of the female persuasion to do a review ? Lots of us with the big booties and short stumps like riding the bikes as well. We need a chicks review. Just sayin. Please and thank you.

    I don't get how Americans seem to INSIST on saying that these are "lawn mower" engines... as if a small engine is a threat to their masculinity

      It’s just a small engine in comparison to what most bikes here have

      Because it is. My lawn mower has more HP than that thing. Almost all of our motorcycles have way more HP. A grom can't even handle half of our roads

      I say really bad things about a lot of bikes that I’m offered to review. Also, LOL getting paid... baby I’m on that government cheese 🧀
