2020 Venom Ghost 250 1,000 mile review

[JerryHawk250]

Well we finally got some decent riding weather here and finally past the 1,000 mile mark. Saturday was a total wash out but Sunday was perfect. Temps in the low 70's and lots of sunshine. Getting the bike in October made it hard to get out and ride between the cold, rain and freezing temperatures. I ended up putting about 95 miles of non-stop riding on her yesterday. That ride took me from the northern part of our parish through the twisty roads through the swamps all the way to the most southern part of our parish again through the twisty roads through the marsh. I think the engine has finally broke in and she is running so smooth and effortlessly through the gears. All vibration at high rpms are just about gone. Bike easily cruised 55-65 mph with an occasional 70-75. You know you have to make sure the throttle twist all the way every once and a while. Even after riding for a little over 2 hours non stop i could f road longer. The bike is very comfortable for long rides unlike my Hawk. Comparing this bike to the X22R, the X22R handles the twisties and higher speeds much better but the Ghost has a more relaxed riding position for the long rides. The wind shield came in handy. Lots of bugs gave up there lives just so I could ride. The bike has ran flawlessly form day one. My only mods to this bike are tuning the carb, removing the cat, oil cooler and the rear sprocket change which I think is a must do. I really like this bike.
