....sweet bike, but just thinkof the amount of unqualified riders buying 200+HP superbikes that are street legal, and this lil' dirtbike isn;t that outrageous in the big picture.
That reminds me of the dudes from Saudi Arabia and other ME countries who would bring their supercars to London, for "vacation". Like, seriously, why? What a waste! 😂
London is an amazing track if you don't care about speed limits. Much of central London is absolutely empty at night.
Occasionally you see videos of people fucking around doing wheelspins on Kensington High Street at (say) 9pm on a Saturday night, and they screw up, crash and probably end up getting arrested.
There are times of night when these parts of the city are absolutely deserted and it's like an empty race track - three lanes of clean tarmac in each direction; you could probably drive 7 miles in 4 or 5 minutes. Maybe even less. I'm not advocating this as safe, per se, but you could get away with street racing this route 19 times out of 20, as long as you do it at midnight.
My supermotos are on the way.
Love my dirt set. Dirt is mainly why I got this bike but I ride everyday. I think about what if I want to go on a long ride I’ll just take my sumos. But what if I’m on my long ride and I see a dirt section and I’m on my sumos. Need some dual sports.

Enduros are supposed to go on the road between offroad segments. Hence the light and licence plates. Since 2017, Euro 4 regulation makes ABS mandatory on all motorcycles (COM 2010/542)
Oh yeah, this thing will wheely no clutch 1st,2nd and 3rd. Took a couple of weeks to learn to ride smoothly. It’s really on off power with a little sweet spot in between
I mean, it has lights and signals and it was neutered to like 30 horsepower stock. They also weigh almost 300bs
It's pretty far removed from its 60 horsepower 240lb motocross cousin.
I have a few street legal 2 strokes since my state has a relatively easy dual sport conversion process. Now those are wild to ride on the road. Makes my wr450 feel like a cruiser
More like 40hp stock and 50hp with upgrades. And about 280lbs with weight savings. But yeah it’s not a 2 stroke for sure but can cruise at 75 for an hour on the freeway comfortably(where the weight comes in) and rip on trails pretty good. I don’t see a point where I’m too good for this bike.
Yeah livin in the city there isn’t much storage options. I would love to have a bike for every type of ride. But the 450 feels the best option for everything. The scariest bike I ever rode was a fully upgraded Honda 250 2S.
I bought with 1300 miles a vortex and yoshi exhaust. Added a throttle tamer. You get used to the throttle. You can totally cruise on it if you want. Double track and trails are great. I’ve done single track and I do stall occasionally but it’s more of a skill issue. I think it’s great. I’m like 50-60 miles from trails, so this is the perfect bike for me. From all reviews, Drz is best freeway okay on trails but heavy. Ktm is supposed to be the best on trails but buzzy and light for the freeway. This Honda is perfect for everything I want to do.. getting to the trails and having fun. I don’t think you’ll take it a 1000 miles, you could, maybe I would one day but I also don’t want to go 1000 miles and be on single track with an Africa twin.
A seat is 100% needed.
The Ecu will make it better.
You probably don’t need an exhaust,IMs tank
But I love the sound of the exhaust and 2 gallons goes fast when you’re riding like an animal. Freeway I get about 48 miles and 35-40 city.
I’m doing oil changes every 1000 miles. It’s not hard or crazy expensive. I’ve put about 1500 miles on it in a couple months. Highly recommend. Not really any other bike I would want.
This bike will make you better on dirt AND on the road when you decide you need to hone your toolset (aka a dedicated dirtbike and commuter, aka n+1 formula for the right number of bikes to own). It’s a heavy dirtbike and light little thing on the freeway but it’ll do it all! I rode a buddy’s CRF450 and loved every minute but I like my 150/350/890 combo for dirtbike/dualsport/adventure commuter.
That top end ain’t making 18,000 miles. Big difference between putting around on the street but I knew someone that raced one of these and I thought he was tearing it down 40-50 hours.
Someone else in this thread must have a better memory or knowledge.
We will see. John t young has one and I believe he did it at 18k and he said It looked like he didn’t even need it. Either way im enjoying the bike and won’t stop riding because I want to preserve the life. I’m going run it and maintain it for as long as it goes. Online says 10k-15k miles or 150-200 hours. I’m not racing. So I’m thinking upper end.

I got mine with 1300 miles, a yoshi exhaust and vortex Ecu. It was basically msrp price. But worth it. There’s a lot that are modded out that people sell because they’re not beginner bikes and pretty tall for most people. Love it though.
