You’re a madman!! Sick drone shots 😮
I love you
I put scorpions and full trex parts on my 03 got rid of the chunky muffler added trex skid plate and I send the bike off jumps to include small pit bike jumps at extremes this bike can handle it and has the right posture of a mortard cheers
That’s awesome mods. I do feel this platform is pretty capable with some upgrades it can really become anything you want it to be. I’m considering dumping like a grand into it and getting a full exhaust and tune as wel as tst velocity stacks for better hp and top end. But for now it’s super fun around town and Iv been doing deliveries on it lol.
A skid plate would be a nice upgrade too though now that you mention it.
i am trying to convince my best friend to start on a mt03 for these reasons
to go offroading? xD its a pretty good beginner bike because its forgiving and pretty lightweight. Not the fastest above 60mph (100kph) but it gets the job done and is a hoot to ride :)
@@OneSmallFavour well, some of the roads around where they drive are rough so a mt-03 would be a great bike for their kinda riding
Tires would be a huge improvement in bad roads. But street are surprisingly good off-road.
As someone who has owned a beginner naked bike, a dual sport, and an ADV bike I would say you friend should probably start on a dual sport. The crf300L is a great beginner bike and they even make a lowered option for shorter riders this year. Yamaha makes the xt250 but it can’t go quite as fast if you need to do any highway speeds and it’s the same price as the mt-03
@@matthatter93 yeah but wouldn’t the dual sport be rougher on regular roads
From TH-cam to Browser, none of them answered my question if MT-03 can modify to Offroad Capable or not. Luckily i've found the answer from this video
thats awesome :) I had a lot of run riding these trails. Tires would make a huge difference. its pretty cool having a street bike that also can get down and dirty on some light trails too! thanks for the feedback !
It can. You'll definitely want some good dualsport tires. Now, it won't be going down major trails, but it will handle some gravel and dirt. I wouldn't be riding like a highway with these tires. But, I have found these to work.
Front: Continental TKC70 Dual Sport Front Motorcycle Tire 120/70R-17 (58W)
Rear: SHINKO TIRE 705 DUAL SPORT REAR 150/70R17 69H RADIAL TL
The reason I bought these personally is because I live in the Texas Panhandle. We have a lot of sandy roads and gravel roads. These are what are recommended by lots of people in the area. I use them, and they work great on the unpaved roads we have. I wouldn't be going extremely fast, but the work to get me across them, and they do work well on the highway.
@@amerikanviking oh yeah iv seen those. intersting your running a different front and rear tire brand. shinko iv seen on the tst industries videos, and that tkc70 looks like it would be so good offroad. thats super cool you have good experience with those tires i may consider them on the next tire change
Fuck that buy a tenere 700 fucking awsome bike
thats a good idea. those are expensive though? I was thinking either that bike because of its performance or the bmw f800gsa. is that the bike youre running?
@@OneSmallFavourbuy V-Strom or Versys, bud. You don't need a higher cc if you're an under 400cc rider.
Or if you do, i'd recommend KLR-650, one of the Cheap & Reliable ADV Bike you can buy on Above 400cc Class.
It ain't much of a power, but it'll give you a destination economically, with it's 9.5:1 Compression Ratio
@@MiJi_29 thats good advice. im pretty used to the lightweight 300cc platform. its a tough decision trying to balance higher cc for freeway riding and touring and offroad handling.
Best off road bike I've ever used was a BMW R1100S. As long as I didn't take it on any sweet jumps.
Fair enough! Did you ever outfit it with some offroading or dualsport tires? That bike looks like a legendary machine. :) maybe you should have jumped it lol
@@OneSmallFavour I bought it cheap. It needed work. But I brought it back to OEM specs. It was fitted with the streetiest of street tires. It has a really low center of gravity. I think that was it. Easy to power slide and the front was incredibly stable.
ahh thats very cool. I really like some of the bikes BMW produces they really seem to put a lot of care into the riding geometry and handling. Its intersting to hear that other people have also experimented offroading on street tires lol. Makes me wonder really how much an imporvemnt moving to dual sport tires would be on some of these gravel roads. I can surely see it helping on some more unmaintained roads :)
sick lol
Thanks :D I still feel pretty dumb going out there but it can handle it most of the time haha.
It's the 90% rule. If you ride 90% on the streets get a street bike and vice versa. Adventure bike is a compromise not the best on either road or off. But don't listen to me I like Harleys 😅
hah true, best to get a bike that you personally enjoy! for me I really want to offroad and since I have the mt-03 for city and some commuting so it was kinda a decision to try and test it offroad and it in the future convert to more of a dualsport haha. also crank that hog brothor!
@@OneSmallFavour I am from Iceland and there you are never more than five minutes from good off-roading. So having a dual sport would make sense. But now I live in Norway and you are not allowed off road but most people ride big adventure bikes with all the luggage like they are traveling through Africa.
Hahah! That's hilarious, yes i totally understand the type. A pretty cool look though. Wonder how the harley would fair with some offroading tires on some Icelandic silt and snow haha
@@OneSmallFavour road or lack there of has not stopped me jet. They are actually very good on gravel roads. No problem riding at 70 mph. But have passed plenty of times by gsxr and r1 doing 120 + 🤣
@@dotlaj haha very cool. Harley riders hve an interesting reputation here in the states. Mostly older tough guys or war veterans haha. They will give you a wave every now and then but lately Iv seen a younger generation take a liking to those types of bikes. :)
