I think the deceptive thing now that i think of it is that everywhere its listed for sale it says fast with speeds up to 65 mph +... maybe that the case with an 80 pound rider with stock gearing... it should really say 50+ depending on rider weight

I should snag one but we have long term plans and not currently in big spending mode like some of our members I'd join the bike or two a month club, but currently not quite at the bike a year level for at least another year!

Hi guys, just thought I would post that I changed the front sprocket from 14 to 16 and it seems like it’s going to be about right! Dusman, that was the color I wanted, but got the red and like that too! Your going to enjoy the bike and have fun! Ps the chain was long enough for the sprocket change

Nice! I went ahead and purchased a 16T front sprocket and an RK chain with 120 links per Mike Festiva’s video. From what I’ve heard, it seems that the 16T will be the sweet spot indeed. I know that with my kid’s 125cc pit bike, 1st gear is geared so low it’s almost useless, even in the woods….at least for me (I’m 175lbs). Thanks for the input!

I recently saw a video of a guy with a dual sport bike like this, weighing in at only 180lbs. Is amazing! 70lbs lighter than my Vader 150.
His had an all aluminum frame, with only accessories and swingarm in steel. How is ride comfort on this for long rides, and are there any street tires for this? I might consider this as a third bike. Just not too fond of most of these bikes mufflers, they're way too loud... |
