My Choice Of Bike!!!!!

This is my bike! I am going to buy this bike!!!!!

I know I might be a little too short for this, but I will opt for a low seat which does not come standard, that will bring the overal seat height to 820mm.

And I will install a low down link, or a pair of Wilbers suspension, to further bring down the seat height to maybe 800mm!!! In that way, the overall seat height will be much suitable for me,
but the ground clearance remains a very decent 230mm, only a 20mm decrease from the original of 250mm!!!! and 230mm is still a hell of a ground clearance.

Maybe the space between my bottom and the lowest point of the bike will look much compressed and out of the portion, but hey, i dont care!!! I ride on it and i wont see it! But i will be able to ride it!! That is the point!!!

I can't wait!!!


Cheers Riders!

The Best Bike For Long Way Round 2

What Bike To Use For Long Way Round?

There is a best bike to do a specific thing, although there is no best bike per se.

To do my tour, I think an adventure bike would be good. However, at my height there isnt too many choices available. The ones I am comfortable with are:..... none. Not to say that I cant ride them, it's just that I don't feel as secure riding a tall bike around town, or riding at any place at all.

I think this bike is very well put together.


But I don't think I can ride this doing what I want to do, with confidence.
For one, it is just too tall for me. For two, it terrifies me to ride this thing on the Japanese roads.

Dont the major makers think there are still many riders with a smaller build?
At this rate I can only get a XT250 from Yamaha, or at max, a CB400X.

Sigh...
