    Hi Sam , be warned your heading into a dangerous world , your laughing now , this will change into love , I started with a 2019 monkeybike which I bough new and I never even seen one ,at the time I had a ninja H2 , Ducati diavel , triumph rocket 3 , get the picture I like bikes and power !! I actually wrote that monkeybike off into the side of a jeep at 55mph and was totally gutted , I bought 2 groms 5 speed , 1 monkeybike 5 speed , 4 benelli tnts , now you see what’s happened , groms are the best road bikes , just , monkey is a riot , benellis are impressive too ,you’ll never laugh as much and have so much fun , I’ve got lawnmowers that use more fuel , no doubt you ktm is epic , but their something satisfying about squeezing every ounce of power and speed out of mini bikes and using next to nothing in fuel , I’ve done 20,000 mile in total on my mini bikes in total in 2 years , that says it all , anyone thinking of going small , do it their a riot , you won’t regret it 🏍🏍👍👍

    • @SamVBikes
      @SamVBikes  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Haha! Love that! In the first month or two, it started getting a little boring because I was using it on the wrong roads. I've done a few little mods and it now feels like my bike If that makes sense! I contemplated getting rid of it after a year or so but it's brilliant. Even just a quick trip to the shops is so easy. Park it anywhere and it draws attention! Don't think I'll sell it!
