NIce pics. I added some hand-guards to my bike after that last fall bent the bars in new and wonderful ways. The OEM bars are soft like butter. A real bonus was how much warmer my hands were in cold-weather riding.

I just picked up a Ricochet skid plate too. I'm really looking forward to the Spring.

Does your Lifan know you've been cheating on her? :lol:

We have an open relationship. :twisted:

Nice bike(s)! :)


I think I'd like to have one of the Super Sherpas, but then I look at the price compared to the KLR650 and wonder if I'd ever go with the smaller bike.

I still want the KLE500, but I've seen street legal KLX400's, so that might be as close as I can get.



So many bikes...so little time and money.

KLR is a good all-around bike, but if you hit the woods a lot you'd better hit the Gym before hand.

The Sherpa's, the KLX, and the new WR250 strike a good compromise for an around-town bike bike and trail riding. I'd love to try the new Yamaha out.

And that's why I want something in between. I want something big enough to handle longer rides w/a bit more comfort...yet still small enough to man-handle in the woods.

I know a 250 can be ridden long distances...but I don't see anyone too eager to do it on a regular basis.

It seems a 400-500 would fit the bill...but the choices are quite limited.



I really do like the 250's though. :)

I rode a TW200 last month for a week, and loved it.
I wasn't sure what it was going to be like, but one day I spent 9 hours on it, and didn't get any monkey butt until about hour 5.

My neighbor has a KDX220 thats been completely rebuilt, and has a street legal ownership.
I might buy that, and sell the KLX.
A little 2 stroke street screamer would be fun 8)

I sat on the Kawi the other week at the dealership; not too intimidating height for my short self (5'7") due to the narrow seat.

I do think that comfort is all a matter of mind over matter, or a matter of losing weight :lol:

Before I bought the Jetmoto enduro 2 years ago, I nearly bought an old '88 TW for $700. I got spooked because the guy didn't have the title and was "selling it for a guy." I wasn't impressed with the lack of power, but in retrospect, I should have bought it, and not the Jetmoto...but then I wouldn't have as much fun with all you guys :P

Yeah but you might have been able to hang out on that one site.......hmmmm.....I'll get it............ohh yeah thumpertalk.

I still want to get my wife a TW200 I think she could handle it out on the trails better than the 200gy.

I wish I had a picture of my old blaster that landed upside down on a big log up in the mountains.Then the picture of the mountain side on the other side of the log that disappeared into the pines.

Was really hoping to get a used Super Sherpa for about 2k till i saw this DR250 for 1k on ebay. Bought it only to find out (to my horror :lol: ) that there were 2 versions, DR250 offroad and DR250s street. Mines the offroad one... A worthwile conversion and should come out well under the 2K for the Kawasaki.

The SS is still my favorite DS!

Those 650's are sweet, but a little bulky for my taste.

At 255lbs. the DR's about 20lbs. lighter than the SS i think. 8)

I've been really impressed with my DR650, and it is much lighter then the KLR. Though I still prefer my Tank 200 for the mountain trails.
