A road test of my custom Honda Motocompo project, powered by a YX140, as far as i'm aware the fastest street legal motocompo in europe at the time of uploading! Walkaround video coming soon, subscribe to see more small bikes!
Holy cripes. That thing is endearingly vicious, like a wee little yellow Tansmanian Devil - with it's front claws raised and pointing outwards as if to strike at its quivering prey - from the 1970s cartoon. Looking forward to see the promised walk around. Kind regards.
I knew I recognised those roads! At 4:33 you pull out of a junction at the end of one of my favourite driving roads in the area. If you had taken the next left as you followed the main road, that leads onto another really nice driving route. I had no idea that Motocompos and Motras and Trail 90s were roaming around in the wild so close to my home! I really want to get a little bike as a project to maintain and ride on green lanes. Not sure exactly what lanes are available in the immediate vicinity, but I'm sure there are a few. Seeing as you seem to share my taste in motorcycles but actually have some experience with them, do you have a preferred vehicle to take on the byways? I was initially looking at the Trail 125 but when I heard it wasn't available in the UK, I started looking at the Trail 90/110. Then I learned about the Monkey and was leaning towards that, but then I came across your video of the Motra and I love it. A quick search seems to reveal that they are very hard to find though, so I may have to prevent myself from getting too carried away with that idea!
We are lucky, loads of nice roads around here! The motocompo and motra are fun, but not great for heavy road use due to the tiny wheels, takes way more concentration to ride. For the same reason i'd stay away from a monkey for daily use. I'd reccomend any sort of cub, CT90, CT110, or any 'normal' cub for road use, theyre fast enought with a 110cc or 125cc swap and generally really easy to ride! (Only thing is don't get the 6v C90 cub as they use different motor mounts to literally every other cub)
