    Hello, I am probably a little bit late on this video, but I wanted to ask something anyway. I am 17 and thinking about buying a supersport bike when I am turning 18, but I am very tall. I am 6 foot 5, and I want to know if this bike would fit me, and if there even is any supersport 125cc bike that fits me?

  • @DB-sd3cw

    • @d-paddan5393
      @d-paddan5393 3 года назад

      You’d have to talk to some people who know more in depth about it but changing the teeth ratios on the sprockets directly affects whether you have a high top speed or acceleration. I think the smaller your front sprocket is and the bigger your rear sprocket, you’ll get more acceleration but lower top speed and then the opposite for top speed. But yeah ask around with some people who know more about it

    New to riding - found this bike harder to use round corners as opposed to a more upright seating bike. Is this normal? Or is it just cause I'm a pussy lol?

    It's just a little lame that it is indistinguishable from a full-size bike to an average person, when this thing is as slow as a dog.
