just go all the way and buy a big boy
I just dual sported my new klx450r and its a blast everywhere
on the road it is soooooo fast and nimble
but you get it in the dirt and it really shines

 

Nope. I'm headed the other way. I've had the cool, performance bikes. They are a rip and impressive. I've had my fun for many years. W/advancing maturity (Getting old?) and the price of gas, I'm looking to settle it down a bit. However, having said that, I wouldn't trade any of the experience for the world. And, I am looking at the 1000RR to keep my foot in the door.

Enjoy!

 

1000RR....well I guess, but how about a 990 adv instead....that's a good ole man's bike that can handle slab and a litte dirt.

 

I must resist......must resist.......I can't resist, that KTM is awesome, and hey I'm getting old so I think it would be great.

 

Feel the force deej....do not try..do

btw...no suspension or power issues on that puppy.

 

Again with the suspension...I get it I'm fat!!![8D]

 

If $0.40 a tankful is a deciding factor for you, you need to be looking at a 100+ MPG scooter.

If a 250cc dualsport is what you want, get the Yamaha WR and press on. The only slightly negative thing I could come up with is the tall seat height.

 

I doubt it requires premium. I think the ECU can adjust to a pretty wide range of fuels.

 

There is an oldOrientalsaying , "only a true friend will tell you ifyourface is dirty".....

j/k

 

Had a 950 Adventure. Great bike, but top-heavy and expensive. I'm going back to all Jap bikes. They're too good a value, and too easy to live w/.

I hear the WR will run fine on regular gas. The tall seat height would not be a problem. If I go w/a true d-s, it'll almost certainly be the WR.

Thanks.
