[Nihon Newbie]

Clip-ons, stiffer fork springs, SS brake lines, and a bash guard for the header pipe, and I'll be going cross country again

Have you done this before on a small bike?

Not on a motorbike, no. I did it on a bicycle recently, and I want to do it again on a motorcycle or scooter of some kind.

When they arrive on these shores, I will get one.

I'm liking the black. I have too many red bikes.

Can't imagine Honda US ever putting out an official video with wheelies, stoppies, and frying the rear tire. Good for Japan!

[Dezzie]

if the US did a video there would be kittens and butterflies, how green it is and fuel efficient with soft music and girls waving at ya through a hazy sunny afternoon lol, the do gooders of the world spoill all the good stuff these days!

[Reconstructed]

I think I will watch this one. It is unlikely to appear in the States, but I would pick one up if it does.

[Woodsrat]

So what price would it take to make you get the checkbook out?

[YJake]

That is very cool.

Price wise in the U.S. it would have to be low... I mean, a Ruckus is $2,500 here so that thing would top $3k easily and at that price I would buy used.

If interested in mini's, check out this trip report, 9000 Km on a KSR 110 - http://www.gt-rider.com/thailand-mot...nture-Up-North.

All sorts of mods exist for the KSR, I test rode a bored out, clutched model that could barely keep the front wheel on the ground, plus it weighed less than I do (180'ish pds)

Want a mini 2!

Very cool. I want to bicycle tour as well but would rather go out of the US for new scenery.

I might go for $3,000.

I bought a Zuma125 thinking it would be fun for the city, but the thing just does not have enough lean angle, and I can not adapt to how it handles.

This would be just what I want. A street legal mini bike that has to be fun. Bring it!

I had a ksr for my first monkeybike, had a 143cc kitaco barrel, manual clutch etc, this one is the very bike i had!

[Nihon Newbie]

Man, now I'm knee-deep in looking at KSR builds, and wanting to build up a monkeybike, lol!

That's how I feel about motorcycle touring now. Before my bicycle tour, I had only been to 3 US states, now I've been to 49, and thus want to tour in Western Europe next time I have the time/money. You might be surprised though, at how much there is to see via bicycle here in the US, and from a different perspective than you get from driving a car through places like Alaska, New England, or the Midwest.
