Do you still have it?

I am about to pull the trigger on a used one for the same bike and appreciate the overview. Luckily, the fashion police stick to the local cruising strips watching for DRZ400 Supermotos. I have yet to see one on an adventure trail. Personally, I like the way that tank makes the bike look; it is more muscular and ready for serious adventure.

I have a 83 kz1000 hardtail bobber it is definitely a head turner when hitting the high R range

These microphones are very low quality. Definitely not worth the sells price

Fantastic video 🇺🇲🍾🎉🇺🇲 Keep producing more videos

I dug two of these out of a shed the other day. One a 1967 the other is a 79. They both were running in a couple hours. Incredibly cool little bikes

Same bike and same mod! I went for the rally raid rear spring.

I bought the ridekingz and I’m concerned it will suck

Great review and information thank you. I appreciate lower power bikes much more now.

I didn't realize anybody had a camera that day. That was me on the Versys-x 300. I live in the area and had ridden most of those roads. I had never been down that road. I learned a lesson that day. Don't ride fast on a road you are unfamiliar wtih. I was going around 40-45 mph when I saw the curve. I think I got it down to 10-15 mph when I went down. I thought I had made it and then the front wheel slid out from under me. I had to get on both brakes to slow it down and I'm not sure if it locked up or just slid on the rocks. It knocked the wind out of me for about 10 seconds. I had on all my gear and didn't have a scratch on me, therefore reaffirming my belief that you should always wear your safety gear at all times when riding a motorcycle. It cost me around $550 to fix the bike. I've been riding it and it rides fine. Those guys were really nice to me. I actually felt bad for everyone having to stop and slowing them down. I think I apologized a few times for messing up the ride. They made sure that I was ok and that the bike could make it 11 miles back to the house.

My gas cap appears to have a pressure hose attached.... Not sure where it goes from the cap. Any idea?

I just got a 78 a few days ago

Tiny. I have same vintage and color

Everything you said is pretty accurate, I have a 1973 Eldorado and only yesterday did I find the 2016 Stornello for myself (my son has one too) ....it is outstanding for what it aims to do ! Super sexy AND functional...its got soul and compared to a Triumph scrambler the valve adjustments can be done in the field with minimal tools

It's the perfect LAST bike, for me. Started with a 350, 900, 1000, 1300, 1800, then got a Trail 125 and realized I'd missed an important step. Pure fun. Got wife a Super Cub 125 and life is good. Thanks for the nice vid!

Im just now getting into adv biking. Doing the sm500 at the end of this month. What is a great GPS unit to get? Thanks

I'm literally in the same boat. I got a good deal on a 2018 versys but it definitely needs it's maintenance done. Slowly going through my check list. Coolant flush is next on the list.

Awesome setup ! Do you have the link for the 12v usb charger and switches that you used? Any updates on the durability of the tower brackets? Worth the money in your opinion?

I've been riding motorcycles for 40 years and my 2024 300 Versys is my favorite.

Great series!!

@jomamma I’m still waiting on the plethora of knowledge you have on these bikes. I’m thirsty for knowledge. Please impress my. I don’t mind eating Crow 🐦‍⬛ if I can learn something ( especially about 70’s/ &0’s Kawasaki’s.

Do you still the honda trail 125? I'm going to get one of those next year for my 3rd motorcycle.

Looks good

Stock tires are trash tho

🎉

You forgot to spray the bike with silicone shine spray , the most important part .

Loved your video… thank you!

TotD, Cherohala, Moonshiners hwy, Foothills, hwy32, are amazing roads and adventures on pavement. These offroad adventures look amazing.

Hokey smokes bud, the wife and I must have been a day or two ahead or behind you. We stayed at the same cabin, and the green KLX300 was owned by retired airforce hurcules pilot. He and I do the same thing, look at google maps, and turn the terrain on, then find the best roads we can in the areas that we are traveling too. We both had found a lot of the same roads, but he rode them, where it was the wife's and my first time in the southeast. The group kiddie corner from you were from Alabama if I remember right, and the owner of the white Honda Interceptor(?) was a mad wizard with modifying stuff onto it. We spent almost an hour talking about the stuff we've modded and made for our bikes. Next time we have time in the area, I'll have to have a go on the SM500. We did a portion of the dirt road on HWY32 (Redneck Tail of the Dragon), until we came to a river crossing where the step up of the rocks was too much for me to get over. Gorgeous country down there. We have yet to get to West Virginia yet, and we here a lot of people say that it's better than all the hot spots in Tennessee and the Carolinas. More dirt is always better when you're on something for it.

I just love how the KZ line look so similar across the board. My '83 KZ550 was a great little bike that was my sole transport for two years and 100k miles. Simple, easy to maintain, and damn near bulletproof.

He’s doing quite well, tackling some difficult technical trails for someone his age, excellent!

Does this accommodate a closed face helmet?

Put it up as a spare,i have a 71 that is going to be painted red,im not a big fan of the yellow what shade of red is that my intake is grey .

How does the fuel in the shroud get to the petcock. Since their lower than the petcock🤔?

I’m in the same boat at the moment with my DRZ but god I hate wires

Function over fashion!!

There were no S30, it’s S1! Also a KZ1100R-83.

I have a WR 250 great bike, so I don’t know why Yamaha quit making them aren’t the greatest, but the most bulletproof and way better than the Honda 300 L or the KLX 300 anyway I got 17,000 miles on mine still running like new I’d like to find another good used one with low mileage the kicker is I work for Yamaha and could get one for 35% off but they don’t make it anymore so my next choice would be a WR 450 converted to dual sport but that’s too much of a hassle for me and the 700 T I really wouldn’t care for good video. I live in Madisonville Tennessee close to Tellico Plains so I ride a lot of that area.

I'm thinking that people are not giving a thumbs up to the video because the music at the end is 🤮. It sounded like a 💩 badJmmy Buffett impersonation.

Thanks for the reply and the info on the GPS Just like in (Slingblade, We don’t need no stinken practice Randy) I thought that was it. You know you did it , that’s all that matters. Plus me watching it is way better than looking at some piece of paper. Thanks for sharing your ride with us.

Thinking get one .looks like a nice little bike

Nice ride I have a 2017 Honda cb500x . I got it with 7 miles on the odometer in march oc 17 and have only been able to put 1500 miles on it. Have had a lot of health issues. I hope to do more riding in 2024. We sold our house in Mooresville NC and are helping the in-law’s out in Scottsville Ky while we look for property in S aest GA to build on. Glad you guys get out there and ride. Thanks for the video, it inspires me .

Great video could you please explain the las 10/15 seconds of the video. I have an idea but would like you to clarify ( as of lately, my brain has been cramping up pretty good) . What GPS Is that and would you recommend it. Are you a member of the JVMC ?

came here to learn how to hotwire my bike. 8 minutes into the video .. disappointed.

Why dremel on the bike metal rather than the plastic threads on the 25$ usb port?

Nice job on the video. Makes me want get a CT90 Trail bike

Hey. I have one but just removed it. Sound was great, but nobody could really hear me talking, phone call or linked. Have you tried on the road?

Where is the mic located?

Thanks for sharing, great video. I’m also in Middle TN.
