2018 125 RR first day report .

[Dirt Dud]

So here is why this bike is so important to me . I just turned 60 and spent the last 3 years sick and then they diagnosed me with Parkinsons . I have been riding trials the last year or so and at 6'2' 145 pounds I wanted the lightest bike out there to give enduro riding one last chance . That is how I ended up with this bike and I am not new to buying bikes . So I went out with a scale and weighed bikes that would meet my needs . First off this is by far the best looking 125 made today her name is Aurora and she is one hot Italian . This bike weighed in at 213 without protection and gas I have not weighed my new http://www.afterhourscycle.com bike . Steve still has it posted if you want to see it since I do not know how to post pictures .

So now for my report We went to RAC that is a open to the public Pa riding area rocky single track is an understatement . First off Steve did something to the forks and shock never had a fall due to them . The engine and clutch worked together really nice no squeeks or grones lots of wheelys and leaping from rock to rock was just plain fun . Going through the trees was like nothing I have ever ridden so light and really quick first second and third with a lot of clutch . Uphills were something that were not what I expected when I get my clutch skills to work with the engine I will really be impressed . I found that I was going up hills a lot faster than on my past bikes 200cc and 300cc I was really enjoying climbing hills also . The bike was an A+ overall different than anything I have ever owned . What will be changed ? The shifter was to low for my fat Tech 8s , I would lower the pegs and raise the seat and get some aftermarket pegs ,maybe a steering dampner but the suspension worked great .
Now I must that Beta for building this bike , to Steve Beane for putting it together and getting her here so fast . Must of all All I look forward to riding Aurora my new Italian Beauty !
