I was riding in thrat area about 10 years ago. Of course I was on a larger bike. How where the 150's as far as average speed, especially on moonshiners run 28. I remember doing about 55 mph and being passed by several motorcycles. Thinking of doing Natchez in the fall once I get my xr past the 600 mile service.
Hi really it’s a great experience . I feel jealous really 😂 hhhhhh I’m joking dear . I have a question please i wanna know it before buying this little baby . When you travel between the city’s every how many riding km to rest the bike and you stop for beak how long time also ??? !!!!
We stop about every 200 miles (322KM) to refuel when we’re on the road with these bikes. The fuel stop itself is normally our break unless we want to stop and look at something on the way to our destination.
Im going to have to watch your full video, currently packing & taking XR150L for an adventure in Yellowstone NP. You guys do great reviews, so have you found compatible new footpegs? Many guestions asked about that, I ordered some, did not fit. Many are looking & someone needs to do a clearly explained video with a link to product. I will once I find some, but maybe you're ahead of me. Ill have to wait until after my trip now. Meanwhile, little nervous about those bisons & moto in Yellowstone 😅 I'll check out your video when I can!
Hi Canada here just bought xr150l I got to 200 miles, then main jet pluged ,surging and bucking after a week in the shop got it back today and went 60 miles did the same thing then stoped running altogether luckily suv and trailer was still attached and neighbor rolled up in his 2020 corvette I could barely fit but nice car to save me. Any comments and is there a fuel filter. I asked my gas station 2 years old he said they use filters on all tanks . Possibly gasket material or sealent rubber . I don't want to void my warranty , no charge on first visit .
Have yall stopped by fall hollow camp ground just off the Natchez trace south of hohenwald Tennessee? If not I'd recommend it they have an amazing bed and breakfast as well as a shower room and camping by the creek and they have waterfalls less than a mile from there
Do you lose all the suspension travel when you load it down with camping gear? I'm debating picking one up but I don't know if it will be great for motocamping when you're actually going off road and need the suspension to put in real work. Thanks!
We have not had a problem with the suspension when fully loaded off-road. I am 220lbs and we did one moderate trail loaded at about 20MPH. I don’t think it will be a problem unless your wanting to ride really fast off-road. The rear is not linked but I am happy with it for our needs.
Yes, We went to the top of Mt. Mitchell with them in 100% stock form. No carburetor adjustments were needed. They did just fine IMO for 150cc motorcycles.
We got about 85MPG on average loaded like we were. We enjoyed our trip and picked roads appropriate for the bikes speed capability. We like the seat for short rides (say 60 miles or so) but it’s a little less then ideal for really long days in our opinion (for what it is and it’s price point we don’t really care and expected that).
Wow, that's endurance adventure ride👍 We must enjoy life thru adventure. Pitty are those who didnt experience life's adventure, no story for them to share or tell🙂
We currently use a knockoff “GoPro” style 4K smart action camera and a Osivy dual lens helmet mount. They both work pretty good. We use Sena products for helmet comms. We are trying to get helmet to helmet comms matched up with our videos. We may need to redo everything to get what we need though. Still researching it as this stuff is expensive. We also struggle with getting our Micro SD card data onto the MacBook Pro. This is all new to us.
We met a guy from Ontario in Mississippi. He was riding across the entire length of the Canadian/ US border, down the eastern sea board, West across the southern US, back north up the Pacific coast, and back home. We did not get much time to visit with him but what an amazing adventure that must be!
Good Ride. But I do have 1 question. Neither of your bikes have a license tag on them in this whole video. How are you doing this? Is there a state you live in that doesn’t require tags ?
We had temporary tags while we were waiting for our permanent plates to get processed in our home state. We got pulled over once for it on this trip but it wasn’t a problem since we had all the correct paperwork.
How come no license plates on the back ? Beautiful drive with no traffic as well, you had the road to yourselves !! Those curves look real fun and the scenery is so breathtaking, especially that patch of road that had a creek on the left side as you were twisting and turning through the countryside. I can't believe you drove that far in 16 days, did you bottom get sore ? Are the seats comfortable and the handlebars keep you in a good ergonomic position. I have a 2021 Honda monkey 125 cc , am seriously considering the Honda XR 150 L, if it comes in a different color other than white or black ?
Hey guys! Haven't heard from you in a bit! Hope all is well! Wondering if you happen to know the dimensions of the drain plug for thr xr150l. Looking to switch to magnetic. Thank you, and best wishes!
All is well, Lady XR had some things that demanded our immediate and full attention but we will continue to post more videos again as soon as possible! I do not currently know the thread size of the oil drain bolt. I will measure it and determine the pitch of the treads the next time I change oil in the bikes. I will then post a short video with a link for a magnetic drain bolt that will fit properly on the XR150L.
Sir, mam, maybe you can add a little wider rear carrier to put more luggage you can carry. put or weld some steel rod with your designed style, and connect to that rear carrier already installed. Its what we do here in the Philippines, And we carry more luggage🙂
I've done the Alcan a few times. And my only advice beyond tires/tubes is one cannot overstate the mosquitoes. Especially near the town of 100 Mile in British Columbia. And the bison, and bears, and truckers in the oil fields, and amateur RV drivers... But it's so beautiful! The sooner you do it the better, Alaska is becoming more like the lower 48 every day I've done the entire Natchez trace as well, did you see the walking path along side the trail? 6 feet deep and ten thousand years old.
I would say $3,500 (out the door) is about as good as anyone has reported to us. This doesn’t mean your local dealer will match it (supply and demand). Good luck, hope you can reply with the best out the door price yet!
I think you channel is going to grow. One because of the XR150L. But also because it’s a husband wife duo. I suggest getting cameras with audio that you can record each other while riding and hear each other talk through the helmet. The voice over is ok. But kinda lacking on keeping me entertained. You spent the money on the bikes and proper gear. Now spend the proper money to get proper Morto vlog equipped and your channel will grow. Keep up the videos on the xr150l’s
We are working on it but figuring out what the “right” equipment is for us is challenging at the moment. Waterproof equipment is a must for us. If someone knows what we need please let us know.
@@MishMashMoto yeah audio is more important than anything with a you tube channel. Most people will watch almost anything with good audio. Bad audio and they are gone in a few seconds. Do some research on it for sure. Question. Your opinion actually. I am torn between the XR150L and the KLX300. Leaning towards the 300 just because of the top speed. The speed limit is quite low here most places. But where it gets higher is also up hill. Since I live in Hawaii on the big island. I don’t think I can do the upper speed limits up hill. Being 220 pounds. What are your thoughts?
@@rbparadise Not sure what the roads are like or the speeds are in Hawaii but expect about 40 on longer and steeper uphills at 220lbs. This would be at or close to full throttle in 4th (and sometimes 3rd if real steep). I would also say If you need more then 55mph get the bigger bike.
@@MishMashMoto they are steep. Living on a volcano there is lots of hills. And steep grades. 6 to 8 percent hills to get over. Seems we are always going up or down a hill. KLX300 is double the cost of the XR150L. But I am thinking it is to small for the steep hills. Thank you for your input. Keep up the good work on the videos.
Well that wasn’t the original plan. I injured my hand/wrist and riding off road still wasn’t really much of an option on this trip (had to let it heal up). Stay tuned though…
They hadn't come in at the time of our trip so we decided to go without them. We had insurance and other required legal papers for em. We got stopped once and it wasn't a problem.
Bikes that get you on long adventures that won't break the bank are my kind of adventures.
Yes. $10 a day in gas will take you further than you will want to go!
Thanks for letting us ride along. Good times!
Your very welcome, thank you for watching!
The Honda XR150L great choice.👍🏼🤙🏼🤘🏼✌🏼🇺🇲
Loved your journey, both parts, well thought out
More to come soon but daily life got in the way the past few weeks. Sorry everyone.
Popular bike here in the Philippines...i retired in 2019...great video.
Wife and I have ridden those roads near Deals Gap a few times. Its a long way from our central Illinois home.
It’s a long way from Texas also.
Thank you for going on adventures with your new motorcycles 😊🤩😍
We live for adventures! Thanks for watching.
NICE... AN THANKS FOR YOUR TIME AND EFFORT FOR THE VIDEO.. FANTASTIC 👍👍
Cool everyone says the bike is slow, but you guys have no problem with low speeds. Awesome
It works for us. It’s not ideal on the hi-ways but we can cruise about 52 or so.
Awesome video. Keep up the good work and be safe.
Thanks
yep it is hot was 106 last week in Mansfield Texas and took my XR150L to work every day :-)
We need to ride together this week then! We are close to you.

We did fine on the portion of 28 that we did. You will love the Trace! It’s the perfect road for the XR150.

I just saw that Wheelswavesandwind has some pegs on his. Might ask him if those are EBay pegs, Tusk, or what and where he got them.
@@MishMashMoto Thanks!
Well planned trip. It’s about the enjoyment of the back country roads. Discovery. And it can be done on smaller displacement bikes.
Yep!
hello, how do I adjust the idle speed of the throttle on a honda xr 150
Slotted screw, right side of bike, in the center of the black plastic.

Should be covered under warranty I would think. Doubt it was the gas if the gas station didn’t have any other complaints (always possible though).
Have yall stopped by fall hollow camp ground just off the Natchez trace south of hohenwald Tennessee? If not I'd recommend it they have an amazing bed and breakfast as well as a shower room and camping by the creek and they have waterfalls less than a mile from there
We have not been to that one. Thanks for the Rec! We spend a lot of time in TN and will check it out!

Did you guys say you two climbed a 6000’ mountain on the bikes? How’d they do? Any adjustments to the carburetor???
Yes, We went to the top of Mt. Mitchell with them in 100% stock form. No carburetor adjustments were needed. They did just fine IMO for 150cc motorcycles.
This trip is everything.
It was a really fun trip! Sometimes it’s just fun to do things on small bikes.
After the ride, how do you feel the bikers performed? Did they have enough power? Was the ride comfortable? What kind of MPG did you get?
We got about 85MPG on average loaded like we were. We enjoyed our trip and picked roads appropriate for the bikes speed capability. We like the seat for short rides (say 60 miles or so) but it’s a little less then ideal for really long days in our opinion (for what it is and it’s price point we don’t really care and expected that).

What camera setup do you use to film your rides? You get good video.
And thank you for letting us share in your adventure!

Okay...just rode 16 days from Southern Ontario to SW Saskatchewan. 250 Piaggio Scooter. Mad windy. I was like laundry on a line. But worth it !
That is great! We had a few days of mad wind also. It sure makes for a tiring day but still worth the time!

@@MishMashMoto that is an adventure !
How was riding on the highway? Was the bike able to keep up with the flow of traffic?
Yeah, it was able to do about 52/53 all day long. We also planned our roads of travel according to the bIke’s speed.
Good Ride. But I do have 1 question. Neither of your bikes have a license tag on them in this whole video. How are you doing this? Is there a state you live in that doesn’t require tags ?
We had temporary tags while we were waiting for our permanent plates to get processed in our home state. We got pulled over once for it on this trip but it wasn’t a problem since we had all the correct paperwork.
Gotcha. You’d get a ride to the cross-bar motel here in Florida !
@@hognott Glad we finally got our plates in then!

Plates weren’t in at time of our departure. Great ergos, seat is fair on really long trips, black and white is your options this year.
Did you notice a little power increase after 1000-2000 miles?
Yes
What was the top highway speed of this bike with rider and gear
We cruise at about 50/52 loaded. I am heavier and 52 is about all my bike wants. She can do 55 with ease though.
50.

Is there a problem with the subframes breaking? Our rear carrier is only rated for 11 lbs. the weight of our bags are on the rear seat.
Alaska has been in the 50s almost the entire summer so far...come on up 8P
🤔 That’s tempting
I've done the Alcan a few times. And my only advice beyond tires/tubes is one cannot overstate the mosquitoes. Especially near the town of 100 Mile in British Columbia.

I am the great Cornholio!!! 🤣
I see yall rode on what looks to be a hwy, i have not been able to get my xr past 55 mph yet. Have yall gone the full 75 theyve advertised?
We have not. The fastest we have seen is 64, in the mountains on a long downgrade. Most of the roads we ride have a speed limit of 55 or less.
Where does Honda say it goes 75? It’s a 150.
Hopefully we can quickly reach 1000 subscribers, motovlog😎👍👍
I hope so too!
Where is motorcycle tag? Does your state make you have one. Thanks
So many people asked us that. No tag required for new bikes (first 30 days I believe) where we bought them.
You have light small bikes that are ideal for exploring off road and you ride blacktop? Why?
Well that wasn’t the original plan. I injured my hand/wrist and riding off road still wasn’t really much of an option on this trip (had to let it heal up). Stay tuned though…
Where is your license plate? You didn't get stopped for no registration?
We got stopped once. Had all the required documentation, all was fine.
Wheres your plate
They hadn't come in at the time of our trip so we decided to go without them. We had insurance and other required legal papers for em. We got stopped once and it wasn't a problem.
Does it really get 100 plus mpg…. I’m cashing out my vacation in six months…. Free bike, I can’t wait
We have got that when cruising at about 30MPH. We normally cruise about 50MPH and got around 85MPG with stock jetting.
@@MishMashMoto that’s is still unbelievable…. I can’t wait thanks for the reply 😀
