600$....... it has already paid for itself in gas. 45-50 mpg, and saves the knobbies on the klx.

Maybe a 950 adv is better for you.
Neduro had a 950 Enduro at Coal Creek in Febuary. That was a bad *** bike, but I really can't see myself on one of those. And the ADV's are even bigger.

Eric, I can't really see myself on a pure street bike either, though. If I got another bike, it'd be something like the 640 or XR650L or TE610 - something along those lines. Those bikes would be fine for my short 15 mile commute, not require much maintenance as the commuter miles rack up like the EXC would, but would still be decent for all but the tightest woods.

Maybe I should just get one of these?



At least I'd be dry in the rain when I got to work.

I test drove one of those Smart Cars.....I liked it. Its made by Mercedes, paddle shifters on the steering wheel and ice cold ac. Gets 40+ mpg and it is actually roomy inside and well put together... plus it only costs 13K new. Only dowside is it will take 6 months to get one if you order it. Seemed alot nicer than a pos Hyundai.
