I Brought Home Another Bike Today

Pull up a couch. It's cool in the Lounge. Just remember to be a good neighbor.

I Brought Home Another Bike Today

Post by ozarksrider »

I stopped by Engle's and picked this up. Now I'm ready to ride it. :D

It's an '09 with about 30k on it. The six speed is nice, shifts more like my Husqvarna, and way less of a step between gears than my R1100. Feels lighter, the book says about 30 lbs. Cant wait to get it dirty.

No kidding! I am still puzzled on how you can put that many miles on a dual sport bike and have it look that pristine. This a very nice bike!

I think those miles were on the street. I kinda like bikes that aren't shiny any more but I'm looking for crash bars anyway. The bash plate looks a little wimpy to me as well.....

Looks nice! Seems to be a cushy looking aftermarket seat on there as well.
