Pretty much anything he wants short of track days and hi speed freeway runs, underpowered bikes Can be a kick in the pants i had more fun/cc on my modded crf50 than almost any bike ive owned.

They've been making basically the same bike since what, the late 80s? Apparently, people are still buying them. Resale prices on Craigslist are pretty good too.

My ex-wife had one as did my sister in law. They'll climb anything.

They likely are for off-road, but I wanted a balance between both street and trail... plus, most of the 225's and up challenge my vertically limited inseam.

Just wanted a fun kick around option that can go off-road too. Been browsing stuff for the past 3 years and a friend put his up for sale... so I snatched it up. It was either going to be something like this, or wait a few more years for the prices to come down some more on the scramblers... or a few more years for some more options on street trackers to come out. This will do till I can get myself to justify springing for the others.

Sweet purchase Mel

Soon we'll see you terrorizing pedestrians as you zip along sidewalks and ride wheelies off the curb! You hooligan

PS: FlaminBeans may join you, brahahahaha

I have a 2000. Jetted the carb and have swapped the sprockets from stock to 70 tooth... I have a 59 tooth waiting to go on now. Fun bikes. They are a bit heavy though.

Rock Dodger · Apr 13th 2018, 04:07 PM

Very nice!
I'd love to have one to ride the trail behind my house.
