if you like changing gear a lot and you can handle an engine you need to buzz to get it to move this will work. it will appeal to some.

I had a T125 as my first bike. I remember the dealer getting their first T380 in. The guy who owned and ran the dealer hated it! He said the same thing about the gearing and just didn’t like it. It’s a shame, as it does look like (from a distance, if you squint, at dusk) a GS! Good review, and good job sticking with it.

Really interesting first look, when you think about it there are so many things a manufacturer has to get right and if one of them isn't right it lets the whole bike down, very tough job. It looks the part and I'm surprised at the extras in the price, especially the suspension. Can't wait to see the rest! Thanks for sharing ☺️🖖🏼🖖🏼

Looks wise it definitely has taken influence from other bikes. I can't believe it's 200kg, for a 380cc that seems way too heavy. Like you said I think for a off road bike for someone who wants one as a 2nd bike this could be a great choice. Looking forward to the full review. Stay safe bud

Great machine for the cost! 200kilo is not heavy for any machine nowdays as far as the gearing you definitely were short shifting but if the gearbox is light with easy changes, I dont see any problem, trouble is Brits are snobs and ride more for top trumps so sadly this machine may stay rare.
@exeterrider2 жыл бұрын
Yes the point I was trying to get across was it feels quite heavy on top but it didn't come out right. I think I'm clearer on the main review. Yes I agree with brits being brand snobs. Almost blinkered. 4th,5th,6th is very short though, more on that in full review regarding that and dual carriageway riding 👍🍻

I like the look of that ER if they did a 650/700 it would be really interesting to compete with the Tiger 660 maybe the rivets on the box hinges I think with time might need altering cos I think they might well give out and the side stand I guess you could mess with that to make it better . those gear I wonder if you played with the sprockets could you have the effect of lengthening the gears don't know but all in all nice cuanto cuesta !! : D

Hi mate, yes the side stand I believe they are working on fire a update, and the socket is could work although mid range and top end it may not work so well with the engine tuning all down low. Good idea though and that could help 👍

I've never been a fan of the 380, I think you'd be much better off putting your hand deeper into your pocket and stretching for a Voge 500 or Benelli TRK, that's if you're dead set against a used cb500. It looks like a cheap bike, rather than a bike that's cheap.
