  • I know Harleys are overpriced, but you can get a brand new cb750 for 7-8K, cheaper most of the world.

    What is weird is that much cheaper bikes the third world gets are way more expensive in the US, a XR150L is 3.4K in the US, a CB150 verza has the exact same engine, it’s less than half the price in Indonesia.

    Same with the Honda Wave in asia vs Grom in the US, they switch the functional frame/clutch for something “sporty” and just double the price.











  • The bigger danger is people not looking or their brain not working and pulling out directly infront of you.

    Unless you live in America, then the biggest dangers by far, accounting for >3/4 accidents are drinking and riding or going into a turn too fast for conditions and eating shit.

    Here in vietnam, its probably people with a phone in their hand riding into the back of stuff, then alcohol.

    In Cambodia its probably people with shit tires and no helmet lowsiding and getting squished by an oncoming truck or banging their heads.

    It might require you to buy a kit and modify the bike yourself, but cops can’t tell how many watts a motor makes by looking at it, nor are they likely to notice you’re twisting the throttle to modulate speed.

    Its not uncommon for kids in China to illegally modify emopeds so they do absurd speeds but look normal, presumably similar kits for ebicycles are on aliexpress.
