As a guy that grew up with a honda spree. The crash was inevitable. I watched every single one of my buddies as a kid crash on that thing. Those small tires act completely different than any other bike you've ever ridden.

Every, single, one of my friends. They would ask to ride it and I'd say "you're going to crash it, but ok". I was never wrong.

You should be putting pre-mix in all the 2 strokes, even when if they have oil injection. At least until you can confirm the injection is working as expected.

12:12 it's just fuel gauge. 補給 (hokyuu) meaning "supply / replenishment" as for you to refill gas, and 満 (man) meaning "full". Or simply just empty / full.

Mini bikes are mythical machines for kids that grew up in the 70s and 80s. Rekindling that nostalgia is just awesome 👍

This is by far THE BEST VIDEO you have put out. And I've been watching for years now... you could've got like 3 videos out of this! More containers please!

Regarding the the shifter on the Pigeon: About 65 years ago (Yeah, I'm old as dirt), we rode an old Lambretta scooter around on Nantucket Island (Before the island became overpopulated with obnoxious yuppies - when the harbor smelled of fish - and you took an actual steamship to get there) unbeknownst to the owner. (It wasn't theft - we 'borrowed' it.). The Lambretta shifted by twisting the grip just like on the Pigeon. My brother actually got it ripping in 3rd gear before he slammed it into the side of a house just after mowing down a forsythia bush. I'm still riding motorcycles. My brother 'retired' from the sport.

Never trust a self mix 2-stroke always pre mix had a few heat seize back in the day down to autolube failure 👍👍👍

SACS- Suzuki Advanced Comical System was an in-house joke amongst Suzuki due to the it being a gag mini GSX-R. SACS on big bikes is Suzuki Advanced Cooling System. Just learned this myself.

Man you're living my dream. I was station in Okinawa Japan for a total of four and a half years. I actually had a truck like the one you got. I had it painted metallic blue with red pinstriping. That was about 35 years ago. Oh to be young again and have another one! Happy holidays brother!

Turn off your turn signal and the buzz sound goes away

I had the NSR 125 RR that was once owned by the Castrol/Campsa 1990s race team.
Got 105mph on the straight! Best 2 wheels ice ever owned 👌

12:25 The colored bars (red and blue) and the text (possibly Japanese) indicate the fluid levels: "low" (補給) on the left, and "full" (満) on the right. The red needle points toward the current fluid level, which appears to be close to "full.

Hi from Japan. I’ve owned a lot of these bikes. The best bike you got in the shipment was the nsr250r.

This is like in total maybe $25k max though if you bought everything privately. The condition looks as expected for auction bikes, so I think you over-paid a lot. The TZR, NSR are what’s worth the most. Most of the bikes you can get basically thrown into a deal, or for really cheap.

I think you could get $85k out of it if you sold again in the US. The export, import cartel forces thin margins. It’s a lot different than the domestic market.

The cbr250rr is imo one of the greatest bikes ever made though! I hope you get it running. I am riding mine in the twisties and it has no problem keeping up with larger bikes. It’s a race bike Honda made for the street

Clean the carbs on bikes that have em. Fuel sits in the carbs and forms deposits like varnish after sitting for a while and you almost always have to clean em to get it running right.

Thanks for circling the spanner in the screen shot I didn't wanna get confused which was presenter ! Also it clarifies the clickbait

[kevinvandijk]

The buzzing sound is so you don’t forget you got you’re turn signal or blinkers on! 🤪👌🏻

The Yamaha 850 TRX is a 270° parallel-twin engine, not a V-twin.
Same engine as the Yamaha TDM850 the "Sport Touring" bike. The TDX is more of a Cafe Racer, very cool like I owned one for a few years, very nice to ride.
There are lots of roads to make the TRX tires look like that, the Hakone Turnpike for example, we would do that to our tires all the time!

The GSXRs of the 80s had SACs Suzuki advanced cooling system, the GSXR50 was just making fun of itself with that sticker .

[ride-to-the-X]

Hilarious episode! Good laughs on this one. Big guy in tiny van was epic. 😂
