Solid review man! A couple things to note- As rad as it would be to have a higher, more “true” scrambler exhaust, the oil pan unfortunately comes down just about as far as the exhaust. So if someone were to do that, the oil pan would then be the lowest thing under the bike, and you’d still want some sort of skid plate to protect it. So not really worth it imo and you also wouldn’t necessarily gain any ground clearance. I was considering doing something like that until I noticed that. And as for MPG, mine has actually been doing better than expected! I did a full day trip of what I’d consider a normal day of riding for me (highway riding to the location, some light off-roading/gravel roads, bopping around town to find food, then highways home) and I surprisingly got about 180 miles out of the tank without even stretching it too far! Ended up at about 68mpg for the day. I was pretty impressed! Anyway…I may be biased, but I think you should get one 😂 One test ride and you’ll be sold 🤘🏻
Hey there! Thanks for watching. Loving what you’re doing with your channel! Are you liking the scrambler more than the 1100?… I know, Different animals. 😂 Too bad about the oil pan being so low. It’ll probably be fine once the skid plate gets added. Probably the best move if you’re off roading it. That’s pretty great gas milage! Are you taking that over the dash cpu or doing it manually? I gotta get that test ride in! Actually headed out to check out some other bikes…Who knows… Maybe i’ll pull the trigger 😅
This is my first bike and I use it for 60 mile commute, one way. What is your experience with the vance and hines exhaust on the 500cc hondas? Im worried its gonna be annoyingly loud.

Well, I used to ride a Harley with some V&H as well so… It’ll be louder for sure but not unbearable. I do wear ear plugs tho.
