Dude, I gotta win that bike! Keep up the good work bud!
I want to win it! That Triumph is super sweet! Good luck to all, but especially to me, hehe!
I’m pretty sure that bike is a 2011 isn’t it?
RedruM MC nice, awesome club...., my dad, adopted brother and uncle all Hells Angels/Satan's Choice in Ontario Canada
I just did something good...so I could do something bad 😮
Shadetree on a trail 125 with a pink basket needs to be on a T-shirt
With the caption: Doesn't matter what you ride, it matters IF you ride!
Should have left a heart for that comment.
Looks lavender to me.
You are the last motorcycle RUclipsr that has absolutely stuck to his roots and it is just wonderful. I used to follow several different channels like this and now they have just become marketing billboards. Thanks for being you.
Ditto.
"Riding a slow bike fast is more fun than riding a fast bike slow."
That’s a hell of a good deal for a starter bike! Got a love Honda
As a guy in his 20s I can firmly say that the CFMOTO Papio is perfect for a young person looking to have fun on and off road. I have the 2023 Papio and have had ZERO issues with it what so ever. Plus it has 6 gears so its not weird going from my Papio to my full size bike. Love the content Keep it up!
Yeah, but some more Chinese shit
Everybody be safe out there, especially the areas that are starting to get warm and you haven't ridden all winter. People aren't ready for you yet because they're never ready for you because they don't see you. But now they're going to be surprised and you are a little rusty. It's been a few months. You know. Take it slow at first man. Be safe everyone
Back in the 70,s, Josh, I had a Honda Trail 55, with same auto clutch setup then, and if you kept your foot pressing down on the shifter the bike would go into sort of a neutral and could be pushed. So if a buddy could push you on the bike, you could release your foot from the shifter and bump start it that way. I believe that neutral-like feature would occur in all of it's three gears. Me and my buddies beat the stuffing out of that little bike, and bump started that tough little Honda hundreds of times like that👍👍👍👍
In Australia the CT110 is very similar and are use as postmen bikes or posties as we call them
A real Icon which will be missed. As the Ev takes over. (WA anyway)?
I love my XR150L. Got it June 2023 and have almost 4000 miles on it. It is fun to ride. It gets better about 1500 miles. For me cruising speed is 45-50 mph. Had mine up to 65 mph. Having a ton of fun on rural roads and gravel. Averaging about 80mpg.
I agree, I noticed an increase in performance at about 1200 miles on mind and saw others say the same.
Loving mine too. Got it about a month or two after yours around August 2023. Only about 1000 miles so far, but I've started to feel it opening up a bit just like I've heard others mention. Hope it starts to open up just a little more over the next 500 or so miles, but either way, I love this simple fun bike. The value for money is a no brainer for such a simple awesome bike.
I bought 2 of these in 2018, for my son and I to ride through Southeast Asia, not bad little bikes, not fast in any way, but the Asian model had a kick starter, and 12 hp!. The suspension was mush, and i could not reach 100km, but my son could. All in all, comfortable enough, capable of going through sketchy roads, and enough torque for the hills. After 3 months, no issues, and sold them to an Australian couple for 95 % of our sale price.
My neighbor bought this as a starter bike. I test rode it ,and was very impressed.
Such a great episode. New bike which seems hella fun! Maintenance and washing/polishing/refurbing. Riding, talk about beer, food & Forgotten Angels. Brap Star and Brap Star merch, the lovely Dr. Girlfriend. New people into Forgotten Angels, people learning to ride several bikes heck yeah!
Man I've been trying to save up for one of those having to Uber or walk back and forth between jobs is getting old .. wanting something I can zoom around back roads on .. love your content man keep it up
Dude! Can't wait to see this video. I'm about the same size, and have been looking at these for a couple weeks.
I wanted an XR150. But I decided to buy a $150 79 xl125s last weekend. I've got a long way to go but it's running with a XR200 motor in it. Waiting on a ton of parts to make it rideable. It's going to be a blast. I may still get an XR150.
That Rocket III turned out very nice, good job Josh and big thanks!!!
I had a crf 150 dirt bike and it was indestructible fun, very reliable. I made up my mind i am getting a honda xr 150 real soon, thanks for the video.
29:40 WOW, that product works great. I use Eagle One in the metal can. It works good too.
Finally some dirt bike content. I REALLY miss the harescramble videos.
Glad to see you experimenting with the little bikes I've been writing for 50 years mostly Harleys the Honda Grom has proven to me and little bikes are very fun reminds me when motorcycling was fun the Honda grom will outdo the xr150 I'm 230 lbs
Very refreshing. I've been playing with cages all winter... Luckily I like old cages... Bought old gmt800 been replacing stuff
As you know well from your true dirt bike adventures, small bikes are the key to fun and learning. Please get Jess and Jordan on that 150. They really need to experience a small bike to appreciate what they don’t yet know.
Ive just been looking at that 150xl to get for this spring to just get around town on instead of taking out the truck still might get one the price is right on it.
This is so fun, absolutely no ego just all heart. Love to you
Love seeing yall still Killen it 🤙 hopefully I'll see yall at FA
Hey Josh ,just so you know from our perspictive the Rocket looked way ,way better than it did, awesome in fact. Oh and mothers chrome polish is what i use to polish the engine on my little Honda Twinstar,
Hey never say never! My Dad bought a trail 90 back when I was about 10 years old. Due to me being extremely limited where I was allowed to ride I had my track set up and every time I went around said track it was a little bit faster. Believe it or not I was power sliding my trail 90 when I was 13 or so. When I was 16 and I dragged the big buck deer out of the woods on the same bike.
I’m 200 lbs. I can cruise at 60 on my XR but it takes a while to get there. I get about 80-90 mpg the way I ride. Have been using it to commute instead of my Tacoma. Great bike. Only upgrade I’ve done is an LED headlight.
The Trail does have a clutch and you can partially press the shift to engage/disengage the clutch. I just got my trail so I’m practicing and trying to figure that out. Holding the lever slightly also smooths the shifting on it as well. I do kinda wish the US model had the rotary transmission like the rest of the world. Would be nice to go from 4th to N with one press at a stop.
Awesome video once again! That triumph is looking really good. Wish I was closer and had a bit of time to make it to the campout. I've never been a motorcycle rally kinda guy and prefer riding by myself, but if I ever do go to a bike event it'll be the forgotten angels campout!
Nice work on Rocket, you definitely put a lot of time in. Thank you for sharing all you do!
Had many trail 90s once I put a model t Ford rear end on my trail 90 and hauled it home several miles on the railroad tracks.
good looking bike, Great things you people are doing God Bless you all & hello from Tx
The Rocket cleaned up so well. Good job Josh!
Dude! I’m seriously impressed with that clean and touch up of the Rocket III. Wow. Guess I need to get some tickets now. lol.
My CB125S that I rode for almost 20 years, was the minimum street legal.. it had lights, turn signals and a kick starter. You could not break it.. better looking than the white one too. Everyone is different. But I started riding scooters with a helix and loved it. I have a yamaha 250 scooter now. And I love the CVT. (I can ride a shift.. no worries) I prefer road to dirt.. so that is a factor too
Shade, that first gen R3 is a fantastic looking ride.
Love me some small engine bikes. The supercub is a favorite. I'm heading down to Tampa in a few days. I'm gonna make sure I stop in the shame to see ya again bud
These kind of bikes have their own use cases specific to them.
Eg developing countries where commutes are dirt and pot holed roads. When your taking your two babies, your wife, a live rooster and the weeks shopping on a bike and the road is basically a track (eg Cambodia Burma India Pakistan). These are the type of bike you want... no need for a clutch.
Add to that easy maintenance and part replacement these are an easy choice for a specific use case.
i forgot to add, great video, thanks
Shadetree, use klockwerks enginewerks on that rocket 3. Spray it on liberally and let it "dry" then take a cloth to it. It will look new.
I have a shop up jere in NJ and moving to Naples florida,,, I build custom old school choppers,, would love to hang out and ride
Been riding an xr650r around as a commuter, excellent bike with plenty of torque but kickstarting it can be a pain in the ass at times.
No kick starter on a TW200 either. But I still love it.
This is my next toy... Hopefully.
Cheers from Gatlinburg.
I don't understand how you do the things you do. Buying so many bikes, amazing road trips, etc. I can barely put food on the table these days. You've got life figured out.
I actually like the XR150- carbs are old school, but as you indicated- dead nuts reliable.
I did a first ride video on the Papio SS. I freaking love it!
At least y'all can be slow together, and enjoy the scenery. Like a wild pack of groms.
coulda done the fork protectors in Black truck bed paint. Bomb proof stuff, if a lil textured!
My nephew just got one of these for his first bike. He’s going to be riding it from Ohio to Texas with me in May. No interinterstate so hopefully everything goes fine. Never had any problems from Honda.
I have the Chinese version of that lol mine a 230cc though it's still fun for trail ripping for 1600 bucks. Mine also comes with disc brakes front and rear
Great vid. Have a XR650L and love it. Can get a 285 pounder up to 70+ and is great on old logging and fire access roads.
I love mine too they’re great
Autosol is a great polish cream for exhausts.
So I was able to start my super cub by putting it on the center stand, putting it higher gear and spinning the tire by hand, so I imagine you could do the same with the trail cub, but you still need enough power for the fuel pump and such, but the XR150L burrows its engine from the CRF150F, and that too also didnt have a kickstart for a while ? I thoguht I could just buy an old side cover for mine but from my ebay'n it doesnt seem to be, odd ! but I've had the bike since last march and love the heck out of this thing, I get people asking me about it all the time, which cracks me up still.
Extra points for the Mario-inspired tunes around the fork shields work
I'm really diggin that 70s game show music playing while you're cleaning up the Triumph fender.
Groooovey.
PS
Wasn't the XR around in the late 70s or early 80s? I kinda remember wanting that bike when i was a young teenager. Rattling a few of my remaining brain cells i think it was grey with red trim maybe.
You made the rocket look so much better I’m gonna try buffing some of mine I just never had the confidence to 😂 I was afraid I’d mess it up bad
Love my XR. Nothing fancy, just a no nonsense bike, does the job and is fun.
Hey Josh, you can roll start a automatic ,shift it up to 2cd or even 3rd when you shift it up don't let off the shifter ,it will roll like it's in neutral hold up and roll it and when your ready to jump it just let the upward pressure off the shifter and it will go in gear and start . In the 80s I had a Honda atc 110, 3wheeler ,I broke the pull rope the day I got it ,so I jump started it like I described for 5 yrs , sometimes 30 times a day , lol. Never had a issue . I sold it to a neighbor kid and fixed the pull rope the day I sold it ! I had it 5yrs and only pull started it twice . It had high and low range selector ,3 speed ,it took me to the woods ,the store ,the mall ,the arcade ,to a bunch of potential x girlfriends houses , it was my transportation from 10 - 15yrs old , then got a car , had a Yamaha ty 250 also but that old 3 wheeler was just the easiest way to get around . Cops were kinda cool as long as you wasn't in a 4 lane Rd in traffic .
At 16 I got a Datsun and a 76 Suzuki gt 250 , 2 stroke cafe bike . Smoked like hell but light ,could take any corner as fast as you wanted . Power ban on a street bike ! I outrun all the nighthawk and cm 450s the gs 450 , didnt have much for them 750s then , but the time on that lil 250 just honed my street skills ,I learned so much on that thing , 1989 ! Boy it was different
We have a lot of dirt roads. I could really test that bike out.
Thank you for making your videos. They are very enjoyable.
I appreciate the support my friend !!
You are living the dream. Great review!
you can push start the trail 125 by pushing the gear lever into second gear without releasing it, as long as the lever is down the bike will stay in neutral then once you get going fast enough you let goof the gear lever and it would start, works every time
I might have ta pick 1 up. Having a small light dirtbike in the stable would be nice. I only have 4 bikes and the bigbore dirtbike beats me up a bit.
Love this new dual sport channel! 😊
Great video, thanks for the tire shine tip.
I have a xr150l and I love it.i put a lot of mods on it.can ride a wheelie yet but I can pop it on I have posted videos of it on trail and hill climbing it can do it all
I've heard the xr150l run pretty lean from the factory, so maybe carb turning .
I lived in Vietnam for 7 years and 150cc is perfect for their cities and highways. I think you'll enjoy the CR bro!
That is what I rode in Vietnam...actually a big bike there, although that is changing gradually.
im was thinking of getting rid of my 750 honda magna to get that xr150l....but when i checked the dealers here in los angles, they say $4,500+ out the door
I'm really surprised to hear that a new motorcycle sold today has a carburetor. I thought everything went fuel injection wizardry.
Honda only started producing these because they realized the China Tbr7 and Hawk250 were selling so well. The China bikes come with LEDs a 229cc engine not 149cc. They also have a huge following with extremely cheap parts. People will still suck the Honda noodle though
Can you manipulate the foot shifter i could do that on my old honda fourtrax
Man. That's a good deal. In the PNW they are asking 2k over sticker for both of those bikes at the dealers.
the XR150L is the slight skinned out NXR 160 Bros (Brazilian national model), as a former owner of a Bros, i can say its a pretty good bike for day to day stuff, used mine to ride to work, used to do around 38-40 kilometers per Gas liter, which is pretty darn good considering gas prices here in Brazil, very light bike, nimble for trafic (lane sharing here is ok even tought our roads are not so wide as american roads, car/bike trafic are way safer/fluid) and somehow, very confortable for our crappy roads, the Bros has a CBS brake system, which is slightly better than drum brakes, easy and dirty cheap for maintennace since Honda has a big foothold in the Brazilian market with shops all around, overall a pretty good first bike, i only sold it because i went for the natural upgrade which is the XRE 300 adventure, awesome content as always!
Nice job on the Triumph looks good from here.
I'm with you on those CFMotos, particularly the Papio SS. Sure, it would look cool in my living room, but at 9.4 horsepower...I think my lawnmower kicks out more.
Bought a new 150 xl at the end of last summer, because it was so cheap. I don't think I have even put 200 miles on it. Fun little bike.
The XR does regular highway speed just not interstate speed. So if you live in a place like me, without interstates, the XR is fine.
Two upgrades recommended by many: better foot pegs and handlebar risers.
I like that they have brought it to the U.S. Although I wish they would bring back the XR250 L
That 150 is close to the Sanyang 125 I had for three years in Taipei, and riding all over the north half of Taiwan. (4 speed plus neutral, clutch motorcycle) workhorse of the world.
Trick I learned for wheelies the bike I was on at the campout doing wheelies was a semi auto and with the semi auto clutches the clutch is operated by the shifter if you barley hold the shifter up with your foot it activates the clutch and then you drop your foot and it will simulate a clutch drop it works the same as a clutch but it has a separate clutch pack that works off the shifter so there’s two clutch packs in that engine on the trail 125 learned that when I did a clutch kit on one a while back ❤ I just made mine a full manual clutch
I have a xr150l and absolutely love it
Hey Josh! is that very young looking dude without the cap on at 32:10 your twin bro, what a transformation, just goes to show what a little spit n polish can do, i do mean the bike of course 😂 Keep it Weird both.
What about the KLX230 dual sport. Some dealers have them as cheap as $3500. Fuel injected, 70mph.
You bought the Toyota Corolla of Latin America
Those bike are super popular around here. And they run forever you see lot of those bikes on the street with over 50000km
One cool thing about that engine is the bottom end is beefy, has big bearings and strong rod compared to another 150cc. Drag racers up stroke to 220-240cc get like 35-40hp
A popular "every day" tune is 190cc cylinder , a good 28mm carb , ignitec cdi, cams and exhaust that give you like 25hp reliable.
Does the clutch on the 125 work like the old Z50? Shift into 1st and hold it down and rev it up and lift your foot, just like dumping the clutch! Hold on tight when you release that massive power!
Would you be comfortable taking it on dale Mabry or 19 ?
41 through Pasco going to Inverness?
My son has a 2016 Rocket 3 Roadster. Awesome bikes.
I'll take the 150 too for multiple reasons. Did you mention bike weights and countries of manufacture?
Considering the XR150L's sold outside the US do have a kickstart, I can't figure why they didn't add it.
The Trail 125 isn't a motorcycle, it's a transportation appliance.
Love Chey's little mad postie bike. They have been used for donkey years by aus post as transport for local postal deliveries. Those little bad asses have a magic reputation over here and they get ridden around australia on the postie rallies where HUNDREDS of them blast down the highways and back roads to ride for charity.
Ive done 70 on my xr150l. Itll cruise at 65 fine. But its too light and squirrely to feel good at 70.
Honda Xr 150 sold in my country has both electric and kick start system, kinda weird not having one.
The funny thing is, Honda started bringing the XR150 to the US because Chinese importers have been selling knock offs of the Honda NXR150 ad 160 in the US for years with great success. Honda never would have brought it here if it wasn't for the high demand of that market. I own one said knock off, and I have had it since 2017. Still runs and rides just fine.
What was the top speed (with Swamp Wizard on board) for the XR150?
Dude up here in canada, everything is 38% more. Plus , plus
I Gotta admit, I'm a fan of the Trail 125. It was great seeing my pal FoxGlove briefly. Good luck "Captain Dr. Girlfriend "
How does your bike smell after the engine heats up after spraying all that Tire Wet on it?
You got that Rocket looking really nice, Josh!
Hope to see you & Chey next week.
Eric in Kissimmee.
Oh my God, I love that rocket three I want one so bad! They’re so beautiful
The 150 is like a grom but for big guys like us there so fun in the mtns I love mine so much I ride it all the time
