On top of that, he's a heavier guy, so the 650 is also more practical for him. With all that being said, his real-world usage plan for a bike fits much closer to what the 200 offers. Personally, I'd like to see him get the 650 because he lives back in GA and since I have a 650 too, I can talk him through the maintenance and upkeep. The important part is that he's getting a bike, and that we're going to go riding together for a couple of days.

Another place to ride is the Senator Highway, that runs from Lake Paradise to Prescott. The state lawmakers took that route to Prescott on their horses when Prescott was the state capitol.
Senator Highway is very sandy, so you will need the 2wd.

Very cool. I'll certainly look into that. Right now I'm mostly using the DR when I'm off road. The Hawk should be here next week, so we'll see how that thing holds up. I'm very optimistic with the riding I've encountered so far.
