I am a 6' 2" and this bike is excellent and it's got a real big bike feel. The bike is very quick off the mark and very good top end. I used to own a honda clr 4 stroke. It was slow and dull. This just blows the socks of it. You have a big smile every time you jump on it and open that throttle.
Very easy to work on. They say that 2 strokes are unreliable and expensive to run but it is well worth it. The only minor points are the seat is ver uncomfortable on long run. After an our you get a numb bum. Also 2 stroke oil is very expensive. Well the good stuff is.
Also I have off road syle tyres on and it feels a little bit twitchey going around tigt bens what do you expect, there made for dirt and not tarmac. I just love the noise it makes and the way it goes. Don't think about it and just get one. You will not be disapointed. Like all two strokes the power lives high up the RPM range. Acceleration is good - getting the bike promptly up to mph - albeit with frequent gear changes to keep it in the power band.
The large tyres give good grip in all conditions, and inspire confidence taking corners at speed. Electric start never fails to fire the engine up within a second or two, even when left for a while. I've now moved on to a bigger bike, but only as i've started commuting on out-of-town roads.
If I was only using the bike around town I wouldn't think of buying anything else. Strengths: Handling excellent, rock steady at high speed. Fuel economy miles on 6 litres of petrol. Weaknesses: One or two spots of rust on the frame despite being garaged and carefully cleaned after riding in the wet, although I had no problems with the exhaust paint.
Slightly snatchy at low revs when crawling in traffic. Uncomfortable seat if ridden for more than an hour, and slightly underpowered for out-of town riding drops back to mph up hills with traffic bunching up behind. I have owned this bike for a few months and the initial 'new bike' feeling has now subsided. The bike feels very responsive and performance is surprisingly good for such a small engine.
However resistance between knobblies and sm tyres will make a difference i reckon on top speed. I could get somewhere between 80 and 85mph flat, quite regularly with Trail tyres on. Darty said in Top speed :.
I've had just over 75, standard model just deristricted. Got a sat nav from the girlfriend for my birthday the other day so might check the accuracy of the factory clocks with it at some point. Jens-Eskildsen Nice pig. Haha yeah. We are a few guys and a girl who have a little offroadclub called Mudhogs, so it seemed appropriate It even matches the pink bike.
Jens-Eskildsen Fair enough!! Sounds like a laugh. Love the pink DT's, they look so fitting for the 80's, early 90's. Get some gloves on though, remember what your natural instinct to do is when you fall over or even just fall off a bicycle; put your hands out, and the cuts and grazes from those, multiply the speed you're going on a motorbike compared to a bicycle and imagine your hands afterwards, not pretty!
Not meaning to sound like a dick or anything but I've learned the hard way and wouldn't want a fellow DTR rider to do the same.
