This is the only channel who loves this bike. Everyone says bad things. The break in period was horrible. They parts break so often. That the company lies about the specs. 90mph was a lie I’m glad you love it
I do. I was riding it everyday i could up until winter hit. Shes stored in the shed with close to 800 miles on it. I dont want to ride the highways so the (90mph) claim dont bother me. I like to cruise the back roads and take the scenic route everywhere i go...i ride to ride not complain about what my bike cant do....wise man once said "its better to ride a slow bike fast then a fast bike slow".
@@Deon0026yickadee im 280lbs so its most comfortable at around 60mph once the rear sprocket is swapped out. Im sure its even fasterfor a skinny dude.It made a world of difference in speed for all gears. Its like geez how fast am i suppsed to go thst these guys get upset it csnt go 90 theres not knowhere i csn ride above 65 in jersey anyway and 60 is fast enough for me. I wanted a bike that was not to fast ...2....a bike i enjoy looking at and working on and customizing...3...a bike i could man handle under me using my weight and size to my adavantage when it comes to control..i guess i have a weird style of hiw inwant to enjoy my ride.
@@Deon0026yickadee top speed i got to before i backed off was 72 also this is a carbed bike..i didnt wsnt fancy EFI and stuff on my first bike...i wanted to feel what the boys felt in the 50 60s and 70s learn how they learned before the fancy bells and whistles
Can't seem to get this bike above 60mph. Even with a sprocket change. Honestly it's a great beginner bike and if you live close to work or have slower speed roads near you it's good. My only complaint with the bike is the speed really. I wish I could get this up to highway speeds but it's definitely not safe for that. All the mods i've done with mine are from JerryHawk250 here on TH-cam
I don't generally complain about the videos people make, but I'm going to have to say something. First of all, why not wait until you could actually ride the damn thing to give a quasi-review of it? Secondly, just based on content, that video should have been half as long or even shorter. There just wasn't much useful being said. I'm not trying to be mean or over-critical, my man... I just think you would have been better served by waiting for your endorsement and then maybe practicing what you were trying to say a couple of times in order to make your video more succinct. Really not super major criticisms... after all, at least you're putting out content, which is more than I'm doing. And I did like the video over all, just the obsessive-compulsive in me had to say something . Anyway, I hope you enjoy the bike. I'm thinking of getting the sport bike version.
@@RobertJohnson-sz4cb i dint even have a license to ride it yet.It was an impressions video. The review video would have been later had I not sold it. Nice looking bike but far to slow. Stay tuned for the Shadow 600 video!
I need to tune the carb on mine and get the speedometer calibrated. Should be installing my oil cooler this week. Need to get me some saddlebags like yours. All I've done to mine so far is install an LED light kit.
@@JoseMunoz-gh4mp I'm actually putting that nibbi racing carburetor on it with a performance air filter. And I'm putting a new sprocket on it. I should have it all done by Monday or Tuesday. I'm hoping it opens this back up a little bit. So far I've only been able to top it out at about 63 miles an hour. But the lights and the accessories I put on it look great.
@@franksterdevious87 that's awesome post it so we can see the results that's sounds like a good idea, mine too I haven't been able to make it go over 63 or 64 but when I asked about it the manufacturer told me you just have to break it in to about 1000 miles idk if that's true or not.
Any idea where parts can be gotten or if any other motorcycles are compatible? Always curious since brakes and cables routinely need maintenance/replacement
Hey my bike is at shipping doc but won’t arrive until Monday. I received the mco in mail today “thought it was going to be on the bike when delivered is that how yours came? Anywho I received a mco in the mail today was stoked! Call my insurance they can’t add it because vin number not in system. So what I’m asking is did your bike come attached to your bike. And did you get a separate mco in the mail that was wrong and had issues getting it registered and insurance
No as i said before i wanted a bike with no bells and whistles a bike that represented more of the decades past...its got a digital screen and a usb port. All i needed for my first bike.
I should have known better but having so many mini bikes in my day those things never needed choked even thought it had a choke ya know …ah well we live we learn we ride
Dude you are so right!! I think what the manufacturers meant was with proper upgrades and accessories its "possible" to hit 90 depending on rider weight and what you've done to it..it was a real good bike for me to learn on. I've since upgraded to a 600cc Honda shadow and guess what? I still don't do 90
Hehe I've seen a guy get 75mph out of with a sprocket change... the old fella looked scared to death with his helmet straps lose, and rolled up on the back of his head.. plus it was his first time on a normal motorcycle on the hiway. We rode for 40 minutes and he seemed to like his. It was ghost but I think it was like a 2017 or something. .. maybe even a lot older then that... but it never was ridden till 2022. That's when this older fella met some of us and asked if we could help him learn to ride. His brother bought the venom, then passed away ( the brother was a pretty bad guy .. drug dealer, wife beater, shot his brother to try and collect insurance so not a good guy he died in prison for attempted murder) the old guy was known by the name goat still has his and now rides a Vstar 650.

Bikes don't belong on the highway anyway.

Turn your idle up a 1/2 a clockwise turn of the screw.
I'd like to hear how this thing held up after a year.
Im out of state right now but I still ride it as much as I can terrorizing small communities on weekends, weather permitted .
I need to tune the carb on mine and get the speedometer calibrated. Should be installing my oil cooler this week. Need to get me some saddlebags like yours. All I've done to mine so far is install an LED light kit.
Enjoy it i really like mine
That sounds awesome, it'd be cool recording it so we can see how it turns out man!

You get parts if in stock from their website. No idea on the other question sorry
Is it available in any other color other than black?
Try a Nibb carburetor they have adjustments that are easy peasy to adjust.
How is the ghost? 👻
Looks good man!
Can you show us a video of how you changed the idle? Mines been running rich and dont know how to do it
Would This do 70 mph?

I had 1 delivery (the bike). Came with everything needed.no issues with anything
Hope your bike arrived safe. Keep your eyes open head on a swivel and enjoy the ride.
@@vinnystx it’s here!! Should do a video I love it lol thanks
@@vinnystx says E when it’s a full tank of gas and the check engine light is on I hate it already
Wow no PDI for u , glad it was delivered ok
Where and how much did you paid for MSF course?
Central Jersey rider training around 365.00
What bags are those? Also I haven't tried but is it possible the take the seat off lmao
Yes you can take the seat off. Look under the rear fender 2 nuts. 10 in the front 14 in the back.
Can you please put in a link to the saddle bags?
www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07TDP6QGR?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title
They only have the riveted version now
@@vinnystx thank you!!
@@vinnystx unavailable
i cannot find one ANYWHERE lol
Welcome man!! I have one too!! Change rear sprocket!
It’s on the list !
Do this bike have abs?
No as i said before i wanted a bike with no bells and whistles a bike that represented more of the decades past...its got a digital screen and a usb port. All i needed for my first bike.
@@vinnystx USB port is nice I just learned about abs and it’s scary. But that’s cool 😎
One last question how long shipping take? I’m ready lol
Like the mirrors
Choke... While bike cold... Less air more fuel...
I should have known better but having so many mini bikes in my day those things never needed choked even thought it had a choke ya know …ah well we live we learn we ride
Have a link for the mirrors? Also from ordering to arriving, how long did it take?
Took like 4-7 days for me depending on the weekends and stuff
A week or 2 ....I've had things shipped from Amazon take longer to arrive. www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B08LR6PS5H?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title
@@vinnystx I meant the bike itself.
Can't believe people are actually expecting to get 90MPH out of a 250cc engine. You are barely getting that on a 400cc engine.
Dude you are so right!!
