Venom X22R 250 Photo shoot

I woke up to a chilly 35* temps this morning so figured I'd adjust the valve and take some pictures while waiting for it to warm up a little before taking her out for a ride. Enjoy!

Took a few while out riding too. Had fun on the twisties.

Great pics. Cool weather is great for photography. No much humidity to to dull the lines and colors.

That bike has to be a lot more fun on the back roads than the Hawk. My one big enjoyment with my big Viffer over the hawk besides the power is leaning into corners and curves. The Hawk is relaxed, and relaxing, to ride, but lacks a bit of the fun factor. How comfy is that riding position for you? I have considered picking one of these up, but I could never find a good opinion from someone closer to 6ft than 5 ft tall.

Definitely more fun in the twisties. I tested that out today. Lol. I thought I was videoing the ride today but must of not pushed the button hard enough. I guess I'll force myself to do it again tomorrow.

Aw Darn it! You have to do all that work all over again. Sucks to be you!

Yeah I know but somebody has to do it.

Nice bike Jerry! How is the forward lean on your body? I was thinking about adding something like this or a naked sport bike like the Kaw Z400.

Thanks.
I ride pretty much in the same position as my Hawk. I rode 64 mile yesterday and was very comfortable. Much better than I thought it would be. Not disappointed at all. I just stopped to grab something to eat and getting ready to hit the road again. Did I mention I love this bike. Lol

Short walk around video. Note the max speed on the GPS app from my ride the previous weekend. 72.23 mph. This was just cruising around and not full throttle and with only just under 50 miles on it. I didn't realize I went that fast until I saw it in my video.

I’m bouncing the idea of a dual sport like a Brozz or Hawk vs this bike for commuting up to an hour each direction several times per week. My previous experience is on a Honda CBR600F4 and a naked Suzuki SV1000. I definitely prefer the more upright riding position of the naked bike and I’m also 6’3” and 220 pounds and worry that this X22R might be a little cramped.

Do you have any pictures of you on the bike in your riding position along with your height so I can get a feel for the riding position on this bike?

Thanks!

I'm 5'11" @180 lbs. and have a 32" inseam. The ride position for me is more upright similar to my Hawk. I road over 2 hours yesterday and was more comfortable than on my Hawk. I don't feel cramped up. I have a bad back and wouldn't last long if I were hutched over. I don't have any pictures of me on the bike but I'll see if I can get my brother in law to sit on it as he would be more your height.

Thanks, I really appreciate it. I really like this bike and the 2020 Bashan Brozz that comes out next week. They’re obviously very different, but it’s for 90% on road commuting and I’d get something like an RXB250L for off-road as a second bike if I choose the Venom for a first bike.
