Rider |
6.0' / 170 lbs / Intermediate

|
Power: |
About what you'd expect from a 1974 175cc.
Bottom end is weak
Mid end is alright
Top end is fair |
|
Ergonomics: |
Layout is dated. Easy to get used to, but can be challenging at times when you're off road. |
|
Suspension, Front: |
Too soft for off road.
Perfect for road driving. |
|
Suspension, Rear: |
Too soft for off road.
Too hard for road driving |
|
Handling: |
It's a bit top heavy.
It tends to make you slow right down for turns. |
|
Brakes: |
Fair brakes. My old 1981 Honda XR100 had better. |
|
Comments: |
Overall, its a good starter bike, but thats it.
I wouldn't recommend it as a daily commuter. |

Power: |
umm,? has no bottom end,no mid,and no top,good for 5 yr. olds. |
|
Suspension: |
well,with me on it.[ 220 pds.] its always bottomed out so,if your 50 pds. it'd be good. |
|
Handling: |
the best in the world but you gotta watch out cause something on the triple clamps slip and the h-bars get out of adjustment. |
|
Brakes: |
very good for drums will get you stopped with NO effort. |
|
Comments: |
good bike for beginners |

verry good for drums and it will stop on a dime every time |

I would recomend swaping the stock rear(38) sprocket for a 45 or hirer for off road use. great reliable bike |
