That’s the plan! I also considered the 501, I speak about it on an upcoming video 👍

Great honest footage! I’m sure you’ve worked out you need Bark Busters to save your hands and controls. I have a 690 with a 14 tooth front sprocket which would help standing starts or steep uphills. A side stand dongle is a worthwhile and cheap mod. You had a couple of cut outs which might be that. Seems that your tyres are fine on road which is a surprise. Looking forward to more!

I’ve just done a short video on why I don’t use hand guards although I may change my mind after a few crashes haha!

Whats your inseam and can you reach the ground with both feet?

32” and to be honest I don’t know. I don’t think putting both feet down is something I do, always got my foot covering the brake or ready to change gear.

@@Throttle.Monkey Thanks for the reply. My inseam is also 32" and I didn't know if the bike is too tall for me.
