Well.. you certainly picked the most reliable bike of all the possible choices. Can’t beat the reliability of a Honda! Congrats…
Haha yes! I’m so glad!
@@MindBodyMotoGirl You are living life. I admire your sense of adventure and your open mind to other cultures.
You made a good choice. The Himalayan 411 is too heavy and rides like a tank. Your Honda is built in South America to fit your riding style too. I like that you (your bike) lost weight, top-heaviness, and seat height. Your confidence will grow as will your off-pavement skills. I sold my heavy Yamaha Tenere 700 for a lighter and more agile KTM 390 Adventure so I know what you mean when you describe your delight in riding your new lighter 300XRE. I look forward to your adventures on this ride.
Thanks so much you’re exactly right!! Interesting to hear about the changes you made. Nothing better than light!
Great choice! Honda reliability... you can't beat.
It's cool to see that you are pleased with your new bike and luggage set up. Personally I'd lose the top case and replace it with a med sized dry bag. 20 to 25 liters, or so. Keeps the weight down low and will still keep out the elements.
You should trust your instincts with the color...what's pleasing to your eye, I believe is important, but it will not change the fact that your adventure will not be less awesome!
Look forward to following your videos and future stories.
Be safe, take care!
Ok cool thanks, definitely something to consider if I want to lower the weight. Thank you!!!
But, of course!
:-)
YES...SO glad you didn't choose the Himalayan. The Honda was a rock solid choice. It will be more reliable and service options will be more abundant, as will parts. Lighter, too, which is ideal for you. Those who would have put you on a Himalayan, I think, go for appearance beyond function, for your specific needs.
Wrap it in another color and done. The Himalayan is more my type since its simply rock strong, and it is super reliable, but honda is honda and you’ll be better off with this one since its lower. Good job!
Awesome thank you! Me too I think ideal. Thanks!
Thanks so much! 🙏🏼
@@Oldman.Roaming The Himalayan is nowhere near as reliable. My local dealer, for example, has them in regular, both for warranty and non-warranty work, but almost never sees Hondas for more than tires, fluid changes and brakes pads.
Great choice, keep the blue, you will like it better as time goes by.
You may be right, I’ll give myself time for it to grow on me!
Congratulations on the new bike! Looks like a good choice for you and your travels "LIFE" !!
You find that the top case is very useful and you will soon fill it without realizing it. I am sure that you will not put heavy things in it but you will find that it is great for sunglasses, gloves, maps, water, a camera, generally small light things that you want to have quick access to. And the fact that it locks is the best part.
Enjoy the next part of your adventures and thank you for sharing them with us.
Yes! Awesome, that’s what I’m thinking, just seems very convenient, I’ll def keep it for now! Thanks!
Well Mindbody Motogril, you got the bike that I think I said in a earlier message would be the best for you, and of course I am a Honda all the way. so great job. You know itchy boots has the US version that is water cooled ... and for a lot more $$$. You did great, and i think you will love it. Ride safe. Stocky
Thanks so much Stocky!! It’s nice hearing others have had such great experience with the brand!!
Congratulations ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉 let this begin a new era of the channel with new adventures and lots of fun 🎉 all the best
Yay!! Thanks so much!
Not a Himalayan as I'd hoped, but it fits, and you'll be able to get service at any Honda dealership. 👍 Loving the rock star sunglasses BTW.... 😁
An unreliable Himalayan vs a honda. The choice is obvious
Haha thanks so much! 😎😎😂
Yaayyy!! I am so happy for you! Happy cycling!!!
Thank you!! 🙏🏼
Fantastic bike and great video. You'll be happy with the XRE. I have rented that bike a couple of times from Jeff in Medellin at Colombia Moto Adventures. Even though I'm 6'3'...it still felt pretty good. I ride a GS here and my wife used to have a 650 GS single cyl. just like you. She has a GS 750 now "factory low" . I was excited to see that you could get an XRE to work for your frame. My wife is 5'2' as well and we have plans to ride in Colombia together. I always thought she would need to find a 200cc bike to ride when we get down there. Thanks for the great video!!
Ahhh I love hearing that! Especially coming from you and your wife’s experience w the GS, I loved mine so much. I also love knowing your wife is 5’2” too, as I’m always dreaming of motorcycles, I have thought the 750 lowered could be a good option for me too in certain areas. I test rode the XRE that wasn’t lowered and also found it fine. Without so much weight it’s not so hard to manage it on my toes. So for your trip I think it could still be a great option for her! Either way the guys in Bogota could adjust the bike for her and then adjust it back afterwards (but not just anyone can do this). If you ever need contacts, I’m happy to share. About to do a short video including a guy who is amazing to connect with in Bogota
Congratulations! 👏🏻 A very informed choice; should be extremely reliable, and looks like you’ve outfitted it extremely well. May it carry you safely on all future travels! Godspeed! 😉🙏🏻❤️
Thank you so much!
Ooooo exciting 😁😁 I quite like the sky blue colour way, looks well equipped, now get out there gal! 🤣 and test it out! 🙂♥️👍🏽🏍
Ah thanks!! Hahaha 🤣🤣🙏🏼
Great choice Tammy! You're going to have so much fun with this little beauty!
Thank you so much!! I think so too!
Beautiful bike 👍and with the right weight to help you flow through the road and explore 😀
Yes!!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼 still working on offloading weight! 😂😂😂
I’m so glad you like your XRE and I love the blue accents because it defines the aerodynamic lines and makes it bright and happy
Cool that's great to hear!
Wahooooooo!!!! It's about time you did the unveiling!! A sincere congrats!!!
Haha thanks so much!!
Im, so happy for you and your new bike, not so heavy and so tall, now you well get used to it and will be so much easy to ride...keep sharing
Thank you Vladimir!! It really is soooooo much easier, more than I even expected. I am very happy with it!!
Awesome! happy for you and the bike looks great-i like the "blue sky, white cloud" look : ) happy trails, Congrats !!
Blue skies white clouds love that!!
Wayy cool. Felicidades!
New bike day is the best day! Happy for you. How exciting! God bless your ride.
Omg the best!! Thanks so much!
Great selection and I know your going to love it!!!!
Thank you!!!!
I love the blue 💙🦋my husband loves his Honda… I think Skye would be a great name. Easy to say when talking and we won’t forget it. Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉
Thanks cool to hear!! Oh perfect name!!! Thank you!
Congratulations, I like the new bike, and I like the colors as well, I also have a similar hard case on my bike, I didn't like it at first, but now I love it, I use it as a food pantry, as a table, as a chair, as a drum, etc...etc..
Thank you! I’m glad to hear. Haha Table chair drum! Multipurpose! 😂love it
I love it! And, I love the color - more like a Periwinkle, which btw, would be a lovely name for her. 🤍💙
Omg that would be such a cute name!!
Nice choice for a good reliable Japanese made bike. Congratulations!
Thank you!!
Good to see you finding something that fits you better. There are a lot of shorter youtubers who are always trying to prove they can ride anything. While you can, a bike that fits you is easier, safer an gives you confidence. I want to enjoy riding. I dont want it to be work, an I have nothing to prove. So I ride bikes I can flat foot an weigh less than 500 pounds. I can ride bigger, but its not as fun, so why would I?
I feel the same way!! I def have more confidence with this and definitely seems to make my life easier in many ways! True nothing to prove!
Hi Tammy..hope your well..What a brilliant bike and brand new other then the running in the engine miles on it..I like the blue but go with what colour you love..Givi is good stuff..I'm ashamed to admit I can't remember the name of your old bike..Cant wait to hear your travel plans and so glad to see your videos getting more views..well deservedly so too..Stay Safe and Big Hugs..🙌✌️
Thank you! True I’ve been loving Givi more than expected. Haha I don’t think I ever said her name much so I don’t blame you! Thank you as always big hugs!
Congratulations!
Ÿou can not go wrong with a Honda.
I am so happy for you.
Don't worry about the colour. We don't watch the video for the colour of your bike, we watch to share in your journey.
Enjoy!
TC.
Ps. Also, don't worry about your hair. From my point of view, all hair is good hair.😅
Thanks so much TC!! Haha I’m happy my helmet hair can be excused!!
Congratulations ;) really nice bike!!! and you looks very happy ;)
Thanks so much!
Good choice Tamara, looks great, best of luck heading South and thanks as always!!🎉
1st bike service done properly I trust, get to know "her" basics as in checking fluid levels etc and she'll treat you well.
Eyes up!
Thanks so much!! Yes still getting to know her!
Nice! Can't go wrong with Honda! All the best of luck in your travels.
Thanks so much!
Nice choice Tammy. I couldn’t believe the difference when I moved to a bike I can flat foot. The set up makes all the difference. We’ve always known you’re a great rider. Now you do too :)
Omg the difference is mind blowing! It’s wild, i never knew. Glad to you know experienced it too. Haha that’s so sweet thanks Andy!
The perfect choice for you. You will love this bike. I love my Honda XR
Congratulations ❤
Thanks so much! That’s great to hear!
I like the blue. Periwinkle I would say. Great to see you're still at it! Safe travels.
True it’s like a periwinkle! Thank you!!
Wise choice, can't go wrong with a Honda and it's made for South America, runs on ethanol and gas that's available there plus you'll get parts anywhere. I like the top box, looking forward to uninterrupted travelling and camping vids. Love the boots.
Exactly! 🙌🏼 Thank you!!!
Congratulations on your new motorcycle! I love your channel ✌🏻😎🌹
Aw thank you!!
The blue suits , it's bright and cheerful, 😊
Aw thank you!
When I first saw the blue panels, I actually thought it was by design and found it to look super cool…. that being said, if it doesn’t feel right, you should have it your way and make it exactly the way you meant for it to be! Best to you on your continued journey!
Aw that is cool to hear! Thanks so much, I am going to let it grow on me and perhaps change in the future, we'll see. It's nice to know that others aren't repelled by it thought! Great to hear from you Meehir, hope all is well!
@@MindBodyMotoGirl Yeah, made me think of the BMW logo color…. a tie back to your old bike. All is well on my end - catch up in NYC when travels bring ya here next!
Congratulations! Great choice! Coming from your BMW, it's going to feel so nimble. I had a BMWF750 & went back to riding my DRZ400. Doesn't look like that Honda is available in the US, cool that you could get one. I just bought the Honda XR150L for ripping around our forest service roads, but your bike much better for highway! Love Honda❤ Enjoy! My BMW came with a top box, it was handy even though I hated the look. Living on your bike, you'll probably grow to like it.
Your right! So nimble and yes it’s only available in S. America (and maybe India?) Same, not my fav look but so handy!
Congrats on your new bike! I own a 2017 model of the XRE 300, it's lightweight, good torque, fun, excelent for city, for the country side, off road. For high way there is not much power, but takes you to your destination on a reasonable cruise or top speed. It's and economical, very reliable bike.
Enjoy it!
Saludos, de México
That's awesome!! Did from where did you buy it? I have heard it is hard to get outside of South America.
I have been loving it so far!
@@MindBodyMotoGirl I got it brand new from a Honda dealer here in Mexico back in 2017. The XRE 300 was sold in Mexico from 2016 to 2023, and only the non abs version (1st generation) was sold here. It was imported from Brazil, it's manufacturing country of origin. In south America, you find the first and 2nd generation (like the one you own): they are very popular in Colombia, and Brazil just unveiled the 3rd generation, called now Sahara 300. 🙋🏻♂️
Love your new bike, Honda is always one of the best choices and are very reliable 👍🏻 hope you have fun 🙏🏾❤️
Thanks Jim! I’m loving it!
👍 I like the baby blue too. A vinyl wrap could be fun too, lots of options and it will protect the plastic!
Good to know! Yea could be fun, I may experiment with Vinyl wrap down the road!
Congratulations with your new bike! I like the colour, reminds me of a blue sky with white clouds. Where I live the sky is mostly grey😂
Haha when you put it that way I really like it!
Congrats!! Such a nice bike!
Thanks so much!
Congrat......great choice. The top case does provide you with a certain amount of security on the road.
Yes so true! Thank you!
Me encanta tu nueva motocicleta! Great choice. I'm so happy that you got a shorter, lighter bike! I can tell you already know it's a great choice. I loved my honda bike & I know you'll love yours and have great time on it. Enjoy it! I know you loved that other bike but it was time for a change, that other one was just way to unwieldy for you. Thanks for sharing the video!
Gracias Jim!! It certainly does make a difference. I really did love it 💜 but your right, I’m happy to try a new experience, even just for the experience it’s worth it. Thank you!
Congrats on the new ride! You cannot go wrong with a Honda. Most reliable bikes, dealerships all over the world. I am on an Africa Twin and I love it. Save travels!
Ah amazing! I know people who LOVE their African Twin!
You will love that topbox after a while, bike is beautiful
I think you are right. The convenience is just too good
Nice Bike....!!! Honestly keep the colour, it is great, and so unique. I would name her "Sky" with those colours. 😎✌
That’s so cute, thank you! It may grow in me!
@@MindBodyMotoGirl Just a suggestion in my comment, 😎 but never forget it is *your* journey we have never had!! and so looking forward to following your channel (new subscriber) Thankyou for doing what you do, 👌❤
Very nice bike. Congratulations.
You can let it wrap.
Thank you!!!
Awesome looking bike.. bon Voyage!🎉
Thank you!!
I am thrilled to see how happy you are with your new motocycle. Colors never really show the same on electronic devices but on my screen it does look like a periwinkle and I think it is unique like you, I like it. If you can have it painted to what you want, then do it! You should start your journey on this new moto with everything you want!
I have always appreciated that you refer to your motocycle in the feminine but do not know what her name is..... darn. How about Nenemi which is Nahualt for travel
Aw Thank you Yolanda! You’re right it is like a Periwinkle. Haha yes you’re right she’s a girl (I like the idea of a lil girl gang! 😂) oh my gosh I I love Nenemi 😍😍 such a great one!! Thank you!
You made the right decision. It didn't make sense to me that people were recommending the Himalayan ( note the 'n' on the end of that word) when you'd said that you wanted something less cumbersome. The Himmy weighs the same as your BMW so not sure what they were thinking. 😂
Yes that’s what I heard!! Exactly what I was thinking !
👍Good choice Tammy ! I think your new bike looks Good and Suits you !...And White Too !
I think the contrasting BLUE will allow you to be seen from the Side ! ....I'm Happy for you !
Stay LUCKY and SAFE and UPRIGHT !.....
and love from Australia 🏍🦘🇦🇺🌹
Thank you Syd!! So true, I’m going to wait to see if it grows on me. Thanks so much for all your sweet comments!
@@MindBodyMotoGirl Always a treat to compliment you !🏍🦘🇦🇺🌹
Super! Congratulations. You made all the right decisions for the bike and modifications especially the suspension. I love the color, it’s unique. One thing to add now depending on your budget would be a para brisa (windshield). I would say a must, in Bogota there’s a place and also in Popayan where I got mine added. If you need help let me know. So happy for you, cheers from Iguazu falls, Argentina
Thank you!! Yes your right, due to some things I wasn’t able to get the windshield in Bogota so I figured I’d go without it for awhile and then definitely get one at least in Brazil!
Blimey, looks like you would fit into that top box !
haha perhaps I could! 🤣
Glad to see you finally got adequate foot gear! Also glad to see you chose the Honda! Good, dependable, and, at least in the USA, good dealer and mechanic availability. Mrs. Drifter loves the color! I don't pay much attention to the color of a bike and I've only named one. Nearly all the bikes I've owned were pretty drab. Ride on Warrior! And take care of yourself!
I have been thinking of you Bob! I want to do a little vid about them bc it took me so long to find them! Love that Mrs Drifter loves the color 💜 Haha love that, I’m always paying attention to color wups! 😂😂😂 Thank you Bob!!!
Great choice! Put a tall accessory windscreen on it and you're done....
Yes! Due to some reasons and time I couldn’t get it in Bogota but it’s on the list!
Awesome 🎉 😎 congratulations 👏
Thank you so much !!!
Tamara awesome Bike. About time you have your Boots for your leg protection.enjoy your trip
Haha about time!!
Wow, congratulations 👏Beautiful and powerful bike!! Color should match your wants for sure 🙂 I can not remember the name of the BMW bike...but I like Libertad for the new one. I think you'll explore more around Columbia: Caño Cristales, Cartagena ... I know your heart will guide you. Safe travel and enjoy the ride on new bike !!🥰
Thank you!! Ooo that’s a good one! Definitely matches the feeling!!! Love hearing your ideas!
Excellent! Can’t go wrong with a Honda and as the sales blurb used to go ( many years ago in the 70s/80s I think),….. “ you meet the nicest people on a Honda “ 🙂
Looks comfy too.
Haha love that!
Hopefully miles of smiles! Ride safe.
haha love that! Thank you!
PS I'm glad you got yourself some new boots, better protection!
Thank you! Finally found some my size!
Congrats. I own one of this beauties and I can't be more pleased with this lovely beast.
Ah amazing!! That is great to hear!!!
I like the blue/purple. Congratulations!
Awesome thank you!!!
Great bike choice and although your grey/purple sounds like something I would love, I actually do like the blue/purple. It's quite unique looking and does not come across as bright to me at all. I am 6'2" so you have my complete sympathy and respect at 5'2". Frankly I don't know how you do it! I am really enjoying your travels and look forward to more. :)
Ah cool others are into the gray/purple too! But glad to hear the blue is not too bright or off putting! Haha thank you, now that they’ve lowered the suspension I look back and don’t know how I did it either! 😂 thanks so much 🙏🏼
Great choice! Honda is always a safe choice.
Yes! 🙌🏼
New Sub, I like the bike and the colors. Have fun.
Thank you!!
Well...actually while I think the Honda is an impressive bike. I was really taken with your glasses. They are extraordinary! I couldn't take my eyes off of them. All excellent choices, Tammy.
Hahaha too funny, they are quite posh aren’t they! Lost my others and found these in Bogota!
Great choice
Thank you!
Nice choice. The is nice. Let it grow on you. Just a rider suggestion here; be careful not to stop with the wheels straddling lower ground. If you’re already reaching for the ground it will only take a small hole where you plant your foot to throw you off balance. Have fun. Keep your mind on what other road users are doing.
Thanks! I think that’s what I’ll do, have it grow on me and we’ll see.
So true thanks for looking out and the tip!
Good choice
Thank you!
Nice choice señorita! Ride what you like. Liking a Honda is almost always a really good thing.
Thank you! That’s great to hear!
Congratulations, would have been my first choice, proven reliability, dearler network, service intervals and just a better fit for you.
Awesome thank you!!!
Good choice, I have several bikes including a Himalayan which is heavy, it weighs almost as much as my 650 V-Strom. I’m over 6’ and I find both bikes too heavy off road. The Honda will be bomb proof and it fits you.
That’s so interesting to hear thanks so much for sharing. Thanks you!
Beautiful!
💜💜
congrats ! nice bike!
Thank you!!!
By the way, Congrats for your new babyblue bike. Blessings from Germany
Thank you!! 🙏🏼
Congratulations on your new bike I just got a used Versys 650 I really like
that's awesome! A lot of people have told me they love the Versys!
Well Done
Thanks!
Congratulations to Honda. As far as I know, the XRE 300 is only available in South America. But it corresponds to a CRF 300 Rally, which is perfect in quality and use. The color is almost irrelevant. The bike will be dirty every day and the color will not be visible. The huge top case could shift the center of gravity further back. Even more important to stand.
Yes!! One of the reasons I liked it too, fun to experience something that’s only in S. America. Haha very good point! 😂
Definitely good to consider about the center of gravity, I plan to keep it mostly empty most of the time but I do need to consider my weigh since I carry quite a bit. Thanks!
Great choice of the bike only that baby blue got to go😎
Hahaha 😩😩😩
Hey Tammy. I think the bike is a way better fit for you.
Are you going to be riding plenty of dirt trails?.... perhaps the tires could have a bit more of an aggressive tread on them? Are you putting an extended wind shield on the front?
Happy and safe travels from New Zealand.
Thank you!! We shall see where my heart takes me but I love the flexibility to be able to. Very true, my plan was to wear out the tires they came with and probably put a more aggressive thread when I need to change them. Same w windshield, there was a little slowness in some things in Bogota which lead to not being able to get the windshield so I figured I’d get it out on later down the line! Love the thoughtfulness! Thanks Matt!
❤ beautiful, congratulation‼️ 🥰
Thank you!
"Gal" is fine. It's like an adult girl; I believe you've earned that.
Bike looks solid and well outfitted. Looks like a great fit and that it has the potential to produce many smiles per mile.
Color only really matters when you're sitting around looking at the bike and thinking about riding. You don't see it when you ride. Looking well kept says what matters.
I don't pay attention to bike names. I get that some people are really into that. I've had a lot of bikes starting at age ten and never named one. I still have over a dozen hanging around. One is a nineties xr250l which is probably functionally pretty close to your new 300. I registered it for one riding session so I could go trail riding while waiting to get time to split the cases on my xr650l and manage the internal repairs. Latest bike is a KTM 300 and it has a good bit more power than the 650 plus weighs over a hundred pounds less. It's a stellar dirt bike, not a travel bike. I'm also riding a very fast big street bike that's great for travel as long as it stays on the road. I'm ready to take some trips with my wife and some gear that include dirt roads so I'm looking for something in the class of the bike you sold.
I'm pleased to see you have increased confidence. Things will happen to try to shatter that confidence, but maintain steadfastness and it'll be okay.
You're starting in Bogotá, where will you go? You have a lot of options. Me, I'd head north. To the coast first. Ride the mountain dirt roads. See Medellín. Check out where Agustín of Soy Tribu went and more recently Carlos of Charly Sinewan. I'd be following Sinewan since he's not long to cross into Ecuador and I could get an idea of possibilities ahead.
Whatever you do, do it with your loving graceful style!
Smiles per mile love that! 😂 you’re right I only see the white while riding anyways. So interesting the ktm 300 is more powerful than the 650, amazing. Thanks so much, steadfast it is! Route coming up in next video! That sounds awesome excited for you and your wife and your upcoming travels!
@@MindBodyMotoGirl
Sweet! I think it's great to have a route plan even though we know it's subject to modification at whim. It just makes sense to start with something which helps with overall perspective.
My wife of 44 years is from Ecuador so we're hoping you'll spend time going all over, being well received, and enjoying every minute.
Our eight year old grandson just had a wipeout on the TTR90 about a half hour ago. Kinda shook him up, but it's all part of learning. He's pretty good for his age and seat time but like his grandad he got to pushing the limits and we know how that goes. He got a little overconfident blowing away his brother on the PW50. Life lessons... 😯😎☮️
Yay perfect 👍 😊
Yay!
Love it. Go girl/gal
Hahaha 🤣 thank you!
You have picked the right motorcycle. Honda is the best. In South America, it is well known and it's a good choice when it comes to availability of workshops and spare parts.
A point which many bike travellers underestimate: often it can be a disadvantage when you have a mechanic, who is unfamiliar with the brand. But with Honda you surely won't face this issue.
Always so nice to hear 🙌🏼
Good choice. Honda is very reliable and has a big dealer network world wide. As far as the blue color by the time you ride it in the dirt and mud it will be grey. Just don't wash it lol. Ride safe and enjoy.
Hahaha good point!! 😂😂 love that
Keep it.
🙌🏼🙌🏼
nice choice, as some commented anything excep the chinese, and about the color, keep it for a while and change it later, i love it, its unique, what a good taste to have that bike
Yea I think that’s what I’ll do! Aw thanks It’s great to hear!
I had voted for the Himalayan but I think this is a great choice and considering the weight, I think it is the best choice for you. Good luck and lots and lots of healthy envy...
Hahaha thank you!! 🙏🏼
Great choice! Can get worked on anywhere! If you come through Medellin let me know we have a big expat riding group that does day trips into the mountains. We had one guy who drove down from Canada. But he had to drive back bcs you are only allowed inCO for 6 months
That sounds awesome! Thank you!
Keep the smurfette 🔵💙
Hahaha she's so smurfette!
Nice bike can't go wrong with honda enjoy it
Thank you!
Aww congratulations...after what Itchyboots did for the Himalayan, I was hoping your pick was the Xpluse to showcase another Indian brand to the world...but good to see you so happy!
I’m not sure what she did but I really did like the Xpulse! I test rode one, lil video coming soon.
@@MindBodyMotoGirl The himmy was an untested bike that most Westerners did not know off or scoffed at at the time Itchy Boots bought one and decided to then ride around the world on one :) that caught the imagination of people the world over and sales exploded! The 411 went on to become THE biggest selling entry-level adventure bike in the world!
@@MindBodyMotoGirl also would love to see this test ride video! Stay awesome!
Beautiful bike. The blue is ok, and the white makes it look bigger than it really is.
Good choice!
Will you do "la Carretera Austral"?
Oh that’s interesting to hear!!
You’ll have to clue me into La Carretera Austral!
2:42 - the colour is fine - you ride it long enough and it'll be all covered by dirt anyway - so colour doesn't matter.
I like this 😂😂🤣
I'm from Canada, and never seen this one before, looks good, I own a cb500x 2023,love it.
Oh cool! I have met a bunch of cb500xers on the road and they LOVED theirs. The XRE only exists in S. America which is one of the draws I had too it! How fun!
