One of my dad's first bikes was a 1979 Honda XR185, the same bike you had as your first. To this day it still sits in the garage. We had it out running but there is something wrong with it. My first bike was a 1979 Honda CX500 and I still own it right now, and I am buying a 2001 CBR F4I on sunday so I am really excited. My CX has made a great impression on me so that's why I decided to stay with Honda and purchase a f4i.
my first bike was a cr85 it was a great bike but i sold it and got a crf250rabout 2 years ago and its fantastic. I beat the shit out of it and it runs perfectly.
my friend also has a honda but its a 1993 xr80 with no exhaust not a thing done to it sice the 90s and no fenders and a set of vice grips on the shifter spindle hahahahahahahahahahahahahah it looks like a piece of crap but it runs like new
Hey Zmagic, I've been a subber for a while now, I've wanted a streetbike since I was 15, (20 now) and I'll be taking my MSF course at the end of this month, and watching your vids, Rebel's vids, and several other vlogger vids encouraged me greatly to keep my heart into getting a bike. It's been a long time, and I'm finally taking steps, and have money to do what I want. Will be starting on a Ninja 650r! :D Already purchasing my gear slowly.. Lol, and for everyone out there reading, GEAR FIRST!
i have had more honda's than anything else.... My Hurricane has gone 13000 miles this year with all original parts (minus chain brakes and tires) and the starter solenoid went out. I push started it for two weeks waiting on a new one every day, and she roared to life every time on the first push. But for an 88 honda to be that reliable, I'll never own another brand. Except for an MV......lol
So you can't take pics unless its work related? Well, I am an entrepowner (spelling intended) and I am looking to invest 1 dollar. Thats right, 100 cents into your company but I need pictures to see if its worth the investment.
You know ive jusy had a toad collision on my honda, was a little messy but my bike still runs, i took her to work and back today, Hondas are bulletproof, i have a Hornet 600, you americans may know of it as a 599
@ZMagic97 They are fantastic! Just a shame shes been wrecked.. I dont know if its a total loss, if it is, im probably going to go to new zealand to try work and get a permanent visa to live with my sister, otherwise, i guess ill buy another bike, most likely a Honda :)
I love my Honda's too man. We should go for a ride. I was hoping to go to the meet up next weekend, but I'll be up in Sedona. Hopefully I can make the next one - and maybe I'll actually get some real vids up by then. heh.
Love the vids, i use to live in Tucson a while back when i was going to the U of A and this type of scenery brings back memories. keep 'em coming dude.
never had problems with going anywhere, started at -20 in winter after 2 and half months of not turning it on. Seriously it was retard proof. Man that were times of fun and pleasure.
@ZMagic97 yeah today i dont know a guy with a suzuki that didnt changed the voltage regulator and water pump, or a yamaha that dosnt have worn piston rings at 20000 miles
its the big problem of manufacturing things on 100 places and there is no quality controll or something simmilar
In retrospect, I should have just left the thing to the vultures and rode back with my brother since the motor was toast and the rest of the bike was falling apart too. (frayed clutch cable, muffler rusted and broke in half so I had a little slip on from a scooter on there, idle adjust screw was missing). It was my first bike though and I couldn't bare the thought of abandoning it. LOL I still have it somewhere at my moms place. I should have done a video response. Oh well.
"Sir, there's some idiot in the parking lot filming our illegal disposal procedures." "Release the hounds!"
My first bike was an XR as well, but mine was only a 75cc. Got it back when I was like 10 years old and rode it until I was like 13 and somehow managed to get a hole in the crankcase 15 miles from the nearest paved road, and like 5 miles from the nearest dirt road a 4WD could access. Thank god my brother was with me to go get help. Wasn't fun pushing it back to the road. Bought a YZ490.
I'm definitely sold out on Honda too. My first bike is a 1985 CB700 nighthawk. I literally rode that thing to the ground with 80K miles...probably more since the speedo cable snapped....so theres probably about 90K on the bike before I gave it away. Now I'm riding a 1992 VFR750, that had 30K at the beginning of this year, and it currently has 47K on it. Yeah, I put more miles on my bike than some people put on their car. lol My next bike is probably a 98 VFR800FI or god forbid an older fz6...
I try 2 be openminded but Hondas never let me down and not only in the reliability dept but in its total package. My new bikes less comfy but its much more user friendly than other litre bikes. Even had one of the techs tell me that at the dealership long after i bought it. Plus the litre bike shootouts always end up with the riders liking it the most because its a bike that does everything well. Just like the F4I or my civic which now has 145k on it and i beat that like u do ur old jeep ;P
nice bike nice road!
