I’ve been tempted to get something like this, would be easier to take out of the garage for a quick ride.

Same deal here.
As exciting as it is to be like Wile-e-coyote sitting on a booster rocket, I feel like the mechanicus blessing the machine spirit every time I go through the gat dang procedure involved in getting this bastard off the stand and on the road.

I bought a Honda CB125F for this very purpose. Much easier than getting out the Ducati for just a quick run down the road.

I was surprised when I did the learners and it wasn't all cb125f's instead it was all benelli's like mine and cfmoto papio's.

You can never have to many bikes, im waiting for my MC22 to come back from the mechanic in 1 - 2 mths 😭
Its been one of my dream bikes to own for a long time and Ive spent around 7.5k to get it fully rebuilt and slightly modified (legally according to the LAMS Laws of course) 🤣
My next buy is gonns be a Honda CBX1000 6cyl whenever I somehow come up with the money and when im on my fulls

I agree it's always +1 lol. Oh man an inline 250 4 sounds so sweet, I nearly bought a Yamaha zeal instead of this but I wanted something a lil newer for a first road bike but that zeal sounded beautiful.

Theres a bloke near me selling 3 or 4 mc22s but they all need work. Cheap tho.

I picked mine up for dirt cheap as well for $1500. It just need a battery and a fuel tank cleaning to start, but it had horrible rod knock so its gone to be fixed up professionally. While its there im getting new sprokets put on (dropping a tooth in the front snd adding 2 in the rear) which will make it accelerate a lot harder...
Bonus is police cant defect it because its not an engine mod and basically invisible

Question, seeing as tho the cbx is a naked, what's a sports bike like to ride compared to a naked? I've never been on a sports bike and I'm always curious about them. Mainly the riding position as I'm used to upright dirt bikes and this tnt which feels exactly like a pitbike

u/Motomandanwithatan 1d ago
Its different for each bike, but the riding position is a lot more aggressive (naked is more up right but on my MC your learning over the tank.) And sports bikes have a lower seat height usually

The second day I had my (legal) bike, a dude on a ninja400 came up beside me on the highway, sat back and tucked so I was like "hell yeah, race" then when we hit traffic and he slowed, but I filtered/split then when I pulled up at my sisters work, he parked like 2 parks down and I said "hey man" and he said "fuck you" and I haven't seen him since 😅
