What's new

Baby Thumpers, Grom, Monkey, Z125, ADV190, Spade.....

Stuck a cam in the TNT135, woke it up a bit. I can hold 65 @9500 on the flat. I’m considering going +1 or 2 on the rear to see if I can get the 500rpm needed to hit the revlimiter in 5th.
 
No.
I like push rod motors, and long stroke motors.
I do too. The CG125 wasn't a long stroke motor, though. It is an adaptation of the 2 valve OHC engine that was used in the CB125, SL125 and XL125. As the story goes, a Honda engineer visited southeast Asia and saw the poor maintenance their motorcycles were receiving. So he set out to design an engine that would last longer under those conditions. It has the same 56.5mm bore and 49.5mm stroke as the OHC 125s.
 
Yamaha XSR 155, all one needs to ride all of Indonesia.

The roads I travel

While I ride a Beta 300rr for singletrack and it is street legal I needed something for the back of our rv that could be used as a runabout and for some light dualsport while also not being too worried about leaving it alone at a campsite I picked up this little Zuumav Templar X. It's a 250cc counterbalanced 6speed and damn if I'm not kinda shocked at how well it actually works considering it's price. I had my mind set on a CRF300L but my local dealers had unrealistic markups on them bringing them over $8,000 otd. Quite pleasantly surprised with the cheap alternative.

The original monkey bikes are back in stock. The z50 style frame was more ideal than the ct70 style for mods. I still have a 2011 low vin piranha flashback ct70. The z50 bike is tempting...dont know who is manufacturing for ice bear. Piranha still sells a dirt only version with snow hog tires. The clones of the originals are not bad and lightweight. If I can find the mod wheels and swingarm cheap...I might get one. Really dont need any more bikes!
