I've been in the area for 16 years, but just recently had occassion to get back into the bikker mode. I've owned a Trail 90 and a Honda cb350-4 in the past. I joined the group in order to get some assistance on my current bike needs. I need transport that can be hauled on my boat, which dictates low weight. I also want to be able to go twoup, and because of past experience with the ct90, I would like to be able to get freeway speeds with twoup. The best compromise seems to be Suzuki drz400S/Kawaklr400SE or maybe a Ninja 250. I can't find much about twoup on the su/kawa's and there seems tobe a lot of complaint about the seating for the primarry rider. My use would be about 95% street, maybe 5% off road. I also am having difficult even viewing the 400's. Dealers don't have them. Same with the Ninjette. Looking for anybody who has either in the area so I can at least look and make judgements. Have made some forray's into ebay which end up being cross-country jaunts. Any help is appreciated.
