Good review! Little bikes are fun, but have their own limitations. Great for blasting trails. I just bought a 2023 KTM 450 XCF-W and love it. Just have to put a few more things on it to make it street legal. Only plating it so I can easily connect trails without getting a ticket.

I'm a psycho like @crittermoto so I'll be doing bigger trips on this thing, but yeah it's a lot more taxing physically. 😆

Looks like a great bike, I found camp river beer a few months back but there was some tweekers in a busted up trailer blocking the entrance so unfortunately I couldn't stay there

There was a good bit of trash out there during this test ride. Nothing good lasts forever I guess. We'll find camping spots on this bike that 4 wheels can't get to.

Add a get EcU and a tail pipe slip on….adds some power and helps with the low speed stal

I need a Husky like I need someone to buy my Twin! 🤣 There might be a no-trail expedition to a river island where Small Man and I motocamp in the near future... Stay tuned for Bromance Island. 😉

Great looking bike and review.

Neutral San found when the bike is in motion not easy when stopped

Nice review Matt. I just bought a 2005 DRZ 400 and hope to get out soon for a review. Isn’t it awesome that we get to ride in this beautiful country called the PNW? Thanks for the ride

It is absolutely amazing terrain with views around almost every turn!

Man i loved this review. Just man chillin riding a bike. 😂 just out and about checking things out. Instead hauling as everywhere, or an objective to get to. Exactly how i like to ride on my himalayan. How i am looking at getting rid of himalayan and getting a 2024 501s. Lot more capable of cruising logging roads, up single track. More to the point you said. Just flat out explore my state of montana. Anyways thanks for the fun video to watch. Keep it up.

That's a steal with those modifications.

@@TallManMoto I bought a 23’ last year with 66 miles on it at my Harley dealership. They made me a good deal to “get it off their showroom.” The guy had traded it for a Pan America and they said he was a big guy. I’m guessing that one trip down the 101/1 here in Humboldt County and he decided that he wasn’t gonna keep up with the liter+ bikes. I’m setting it up similarly, same rear rack, Acerbis tank, a Warp 9 rear wheel with Cush drive… I want to hit the BDRs starting this Summer. Being remote, I don’t want to truck it everywhere, hence the Cush drive.

True North Moto, they are a company based out of Olympia!

Add a more aggressive rear tire and front…

You were flying on that trail , you better slow down so you dont hurt yourself.
