Cool bike...

I looked @ those....

But it stated 35" seat height... To big for me...

Congrats

Congrats, kcukiman! KW4TX--I bet you could get used to the seat height.

Interestingly, anamcycles.com carries Hi-Birds and Komoto and is located in OK City near VBike. They added a 200cc Hi-Bird that looks like the 250cc, but is listed as costing more than the 250cc.

For some reason, the Komoto 250cc is listed as costing more than the Hi-Bird 250cc, and is made by Hi-bird.

Something is wrong in OK...

OK, I'm answering my own post.

The 200cc looks the same but has rear disc and USD forks, hence costing more than the 250cc (I would still get the 250cc--good choice Kcukiman!)

You have to keep us posted on your bike!

kczukiman · 02-23-2008, 02:01 PM

Thank culcune.I will .I had purchased one of these last year to resale in my driveway due to being out of work.I loved it .But this one will be here to stay.

KW4TX,Ill bet you would be just fine on it.When I was a young lad I rod a kawasaki 90 dirt bike daily.That thing was huge to me.

I have done that when I was younger too...

I used to ride YZ125 and I had to push it and jump on...

But I am 38 now... Too old to do them things

culcune · 02-23-2008, 08:38 PM

KW4TX, in my 20's I rode a DR250s (early to mid 90's). I was, am still, I think, 5' 7" with a 30" inseam, which is what I think you said you had.

My '06 Jetmoto was about 35" or so seat height. Perhaps I was just "used" to riding the DR (like riding a bicycle, you never forget), but the Jetmoto wasn't a big deal to ride for me. yes, it was tall for me, but I got used to it.

daveJ · 02-23-2008, 10:22 PM

I got a 200 just like that but red, ill be getting her any day now

culcune · 02-23-2008, 10:32 PM

Kczukiman, did you ever get to ride the 250 Hi-bird you got last year before you sold it? Can't wait for the report!

kczukiman · 02-23-2008, 10:48 PM

calcune, I did ride it .It ran very good. I was quite impressed.I didn't take it very far due to keeping miles of of it .But the motor was smooth running.

kczukiman · 02-24-2008, 10:24 AM
