[QUOTE="Garand, post: 1892143, member: 3498"] The question I didn't see asked is what kind of riding do you want to do? Commute to work, around town, multi day trips? I've had a few bikes over the years and in the last few years I've changed my focus on riding. I've done my time on 1000cc sportbikes, VFRs, 990cc Big trailies, and now only own a WR250R (street legal from the factory dirtbike). the little 250 is more fun around town than any other bike I've ridden, has more than enough power to "get out of its own way" runs down the highway ALL DAY at 75, and gets 60+ MPG. I've rode every bike I've owned on long trips and have had more fun on the "little 250" than any of the others. Sure there's something to be said for the feeling of wicking on the throttle and seeing the needle swing well into the triple digits, but once your brain kicks back in you realize how dangerous and expensive that is! This thread has turned into the typical Ford vs Chevy, Import vs Domestic, OU vs OSU thead, let us know how you want to ride and we might be able to help point you towards a specific selections halfway through a planned 9 day ride across CO and UT, (got cut short due to a buddies slow speed get off) [img]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/gkasper.smugmug.com_photos_i_J9xTpM2_0_XL_i_J9xTpM2_XL.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
