I am around London area, due to the amount of built up areas it is hard to find good off road paths. Took it down to Cornwall the other week with some mates, great fun in the hills.

Bikes looking good mate, literally seen one of these today with a full arrow exhaust and it sounds absolutely amazing.

A set of supermoto wheels will suit it perfect to be honest mate, gives it more of a road looking bike and not dirt bike looking aha

Can't wait to see the upgrades you do, make sure to keep us updated

Very nice bike, I have the XT125x, they look very similar These mods you have made have given me some ideas. I was thinking of buying the Arrow exhaust, first I will test a few of the spare exhausts in the garage out.

The Arrow i have is amazing but you need to remove the baffle for the full experience and also just hide from the police lol (They don't mind in my area)

But yeah the XT was one of my choices when buying this but this come up with only 10k miles and decided to go for it. I do want to get a yami though, i have a thing where i only seem to buy Hondas

Ah yea, hopefully I will see one come up on eBay or something and grab it.

For me its the other way round, I'd love to ride a Honda at some stage, I've always had Yamaha/Suzuki dirtbikes. Honda don't seem to do an on-road option of a supermoto, went into a Honda dealer and they said there was never any demand for them.

Also I noticed up there^^ that you said you rode from around the London area to Cornwall. Jesus that sounds like a painful ride
