Culcune I will be down in San Diego the 2nd week of April for work. I might also be down there early-mid march for a weekend getaway as well. I actually plan to bring the XF along with me. Depending on how you get to LA you might be passing through my neck of the woods at some point.

My hesitation is they are asking OVER msrp for the XF?! And it is black which might not be great for my extra HOT summers; then again, come to think of it, my TMEC was black, so the color might not be a deal killer. http://jpmotorsports.com/Motorcycles...e-a70701259095

Yes, dh has reported cruising at 70+ 2-up on the open highway with his XF250. It puts it far closer to my 1990 Suzuki DR250 I used to have which my more experienced riding friend once got up to an indicated 90 'and change' mph on L.A.'s 118 freeway with him tucked in (this was before GPS, so this was what was indicated on the bike's speedo, and me chasing him in my 1986 Capri 5.0's, and looking at my car's speedo). 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.
