Lol, right now I'm taking offers on the CRF250L. I had no idea the bike was so popular.
I posted it last week, then went on a short vacation thinking it would take time to find a buyer. They blew up my email while I was gone and now I've got 6 guys outbidding each other to come pick it up today. Crazy.
I suspect I'm going to grab a KLR with the proceeds.
Absolutely! When you drop it and break the milk crate top box and dent the tractor supply muffler, you won't even feel bad about it.
I'm not buying my last bike, just my next bike
Words I definitely live by!
The trick is buying right and then you can cycle (excuse the pun) through a few and either get them out of your system or make it a keeper
Didn't you buy the 500? Great purchase and saved me some dollars, lol.
09 KTM 400 XC-W Plated (for sale)
Details? lol
It's a heavily accessorized awesome bike. I won't high-jack this thread but will be posting a FS thread pretty soon. That's if my brother doesn't get spousal approval to buy it.
So I've got my Africa Twin and its a fun bike, but big. I've been wondering what it would be like to have a smaller dirt bike that I can throw around and
really run off road with it.
I have a 5 acre pasture at my place and took the Africa Twin in there and it was... not really that fun. Seems like a light, more torquey bike might be more fun there. And on trails that are too tight for the Africa Twin.
I'm a big guy. 260 lbs before putting on all the gear. Over 6 foot tall. Decently strong. So wondering IF (and that's a big if) I wanted to get a "dirt" bike, what should I be looking at? 250? 450? 650?
Actually, the 450l has a detuned crf450r engine(lower comp ratio with a 6 speed) so it will be higher maintenance, just like a ktm would be. Honda should have just kept making the full xr line. Low maintenance tractors.I'm in the same boat! And about the same size. 6'1 240. I'm thinking about a 250. But I want a true dual sport, not a dirt bike. I don't want to have to rebuild the engine. If I understand things, the dirt bike engines aren't meant for everyday riding and the top ends need to be rebuilt unlike the true CRF 250L or the new 450L dual sport bikes.

I don't think so. It's just cheaper than buying a new truck basically. Also, I won't feel as bad when I drop the KLR being a third of the price of the AT. I assume being 100+ lbs lighter that it will be easier to pick up as well.
Not the most sensible purchase, but is any motorcycle really?
I like MacDaddy's axiom. I'm not buying my last bike, just my next bike
