New member Spins here!
Hello everyone. I’ve been on the site a few weeks now. I’ve been reading post after post and I’ve watched many videos by Motocheez. That’s actually how I found this forum. I’m attempting to learn all I can before deciding on a bike to buy and a dealer to purchase from. It’s a lot to take in. I’ve always purchased Jap bikes but new enduro prices are out of control. I l currently live in central Florida and ride a 2019 Kawasaki Z 400.
I’m looking for a trail bike to get off road a bit but would need it be main road capable. I see these are not highway bikes for sure. I was looking at the TBR7. I like the tires, rear rack , hand guards and the price. Build quality appears to be lacking some. I also like the BMS Enduro CRP. I little more money but better built. I’ve actually looked at just about every model out there, CRC TT’s are nice but at $2600 I find myself leaning back to the jap market. I’m a handy guy an don’t mind tinkering some. This would be a lightly used bike not a huge amount of rough trail near me. One reason I find it hard to cough up the big bucks for a jap bike. Most of Chinese bikes seem to need to be disassembled to some point with rebuild carbs, oil , bearing and fluids etc. I’m torn between the price and the reliability. My heads Spinning ! |

Welcome aboard! Good luck in your search. There're so many to choose from now. Back when I was looking there were only a hand full of choices. Don't forget about the Brozz 250. Jeff with Peace Sports has the new 2020 camo version coming in February. Check out brozz250.com.

Thanks, It’s on the list as well.
How is everyone making out the FI Hawks? Would like a FI bike. But that’s at the top of the budget and it’s so new. |

Hello Spins!
Welcome to the forum!
It’s easier when there was only a couple of choices and you could pick what your wallet would allow. I’m over in the Tampa Bay Area, so I know what you’re saying. Keep us posted on what you decide to get. Enjoy the Ride!
