New bike.
I know I've been absent as of late, work as of late has been busy. After 6500+ KM's of heavy desert riding, I think I moved beyond the ability of the bike to hold up to any heavier abuse, so I have finally upgraded to a Honda XR650L. I am not retiring my X-Moto, but it certainly will not be seeing many more harsh miles. I am still up for riding if any should be in the area. My son has taken to my old bike, and as he is tall and thin it is a better fit than the old Shineray.

Hehe...The mods have begun. Now uncorked and jetted with a Uni filter.....Scary fast. The front wheel comes up just hitting the throttle.

i wanted to see the china bike with 6500+ on the clock sounds to me like a good ad for china bike, you know since they fall apart sooo quickly, 6500km sounds pretty fair for any bike to make it though the dirt

I have about 10,250 miles, but those are mostly street miles.
