300 Mile Texas dual sport ride on a XP200
So just got back from a nice ride!
Around 300 miles mostly gravel / dirt / water crossings Started in Bandera TX. I was worried about how the bike ( QLINK XP200 ) Would handle that long of a ride with Texas heat 103 today etc... Well my friends XR650 Broke down last night so he had to ride his wife's ttr-225 so we were both pretty even. Both small air cooled motors. We knew we were putting them to the test both are geared low as well so that didn't help much. However both bikes did great with the exception that my Buddy sander's 225 May have blew a base gasket right when we arrived to his house not entirely sure though as the carb was acting up could of very well been the carburetor. ( Hanging revs ) etc There was a MIX of bikes. A VERY nice Triumph Tiger XC, A few KLR'S A 690 KTM TTR225 AND MY XP200 Here are a few pics |

Thanks for posting the nice photos! I'm not surprised your XP200 handled the ride well; it's a great little motorcycle.
P.S. If you reduce the size of your photos by 50 percent, the thread will be much easier to read. Spud
