EVERY MOTORCYCLE has an SAE usb charger that can be used with my DIY adapter to “jump start” the bike from a battery pack or another vehicle.
Every rider should be in the habit of using the kill switch and then go directly to the key and turn it off. Bikes have tiny batteries and no one wants a dead battery.
SUGGESTED ROUTES – here I’ve got 3 levels of routes/trails, from all street, dirt road, to challenging dual track.

2022 GPX 300r (KTM 500 clone)
This bike has been lowered for shorter riders. This is a great student bike because it doesn’t have “dangerous power” and will do great for a small dual sport/small adventure bike.
This bike gets about 55 mpg, so you should be able to go 120-130 miles.
D-sport tusk tires front/rear. 6 speed, with top cruising speed of about 65 MPH.
2000 mile oil change oil/maintenance change.
Scam-registration is in the tank bag
2021 Tenere 700
When I tested this bike, it runs out of gas at about 200 miles, but that depends on conditions.
This is a fun bike and it wants to go fast on/off road. Its a do-all bike, but it is heavy to pickup.
heated grips turn off with ignition
Scam-registration is under the seat currently. Tank bag back ordered.
Saddle bags and camping gear available for rent upon request.
If it doesn’t start, verify kill switch is to the ON position and you have the clutch pulled in with the kickstand UP.
KTM 500
IMO this is for experts only given the power. You really need to be able to manage the clutch so you don’t get too much wheel slipping OR get rocketed off the trail with uncontrolled throttle.
Gets good MPG and a great dual sport motorcycle. I have a giant loop 39 liter horse shoe saddle bag that can go on this bike.
Super fun to ride if you have the skills to manage the extra power.
