Very useful video. I have found that the XR150L is a mind-bogglingly bad "dirt bike", but that didn't matter to me because I have real dirt bikes. I use mine to run errands around the city, get groceries, and haul a chainsaw into the woods for trail work. For those purposes it works very well! The only mods I have done are a 15 tooth front sprocket that really helps the stop light to stop light and hill climbing power, and I've modified the rack to carry tools for trail work. In my opinion, spending any further money on the bike would be a total waste. It's just not a platform that can be significantly improved for any reasonable amount of money. But it does what it's designed to do (economical city commuting) very well.
Very well said, and yes the XR150L is awesome for around town and getting groceries or I ride with my dog sometimes on back. It's a nice little cheap bike, but yeah not dirt bike capable really. Now that I have this Surron Ultra Bee i am going to get a KLX 300 either regular dual sport one, or the SM version. I might keep the XR150L for friends to learn on and ride with me and my dad. Because I was offered like $700 trade in. Lol
@@EbikesandMore Ha ha I had not seen your channel before, but I also have been carrying my little dog around via milk crate. She loves to go to the park that way. I made a wood platform attached to the rack with conduit clamps, and then I mount the milk crate, or tools, etc. to the wood. It seems pretty secure. I'll will likely be keeping my xr150l for the long haul. It's proving very useful for trail maintenance and errand running, and I've just discovered a new benefit. It's apparently to small to trigger the parking deck entrance gates in the city where I live, so when I go for various heath care visits, they let me park anywhere for free.🙂
Awesome man enjoy your bike and thanks for watching! I live mine, but yeh as I mentioned in the video I really want to light kit and to get it plated and road legal.
Hey thanks for watching, and yeah I've rotated the camera up more in my next video of riding at night with it and you can actually see ahead and where I'm going instead of just down towards the ground. Thanks

Nice video. I would just say try and rotate the camera a little further up. Still fun to watch though for sure
