I think the XF is closer in spirit to my DR than Suzuki's own DR200, in spite of them upgrading its looks a couple years back! But, I don't want to pay their $3700 for a bike which shows $3059 as the MSRP. I guess I will have to call them! And, yes, I am a big fan of the fat tires on both ends of the bike, ala TW200. They might even make riding on one of Yuma's and surroundings numerous 'sand' roads (as opposed to dirt roads) much more palatable.  |
I watched the radar today and i saw Yuma getting pounded, how many inches?
