Finally went and picked up a 2004 Honda XR650L thumper with 3000 miles on it from a friend of mine.......:eusa_dance::clapping:
it's already set up with a 4 gallon tank (ugly but functional) and an FMF Exhaust.
Damn thing is TALL!, I think the seat hieght is around 36" or so....
Kinda wanted a Supermoto Husky SM610, but I'm figuring on brushing up on my on/off road type riding skills for a while before going that route, I don't have a tons (some) off road experience, and a super high performance bike like the Husky I'm afraid might have been a mistake, plus I trust the reliability of the XR more, and it's more suited to the riding I want to do down in the Big Bend region.
Not to mention the Husky woulda cost me $8000, the Honda was $3000, I'm just a cheap (read broke) Bastard really....
I'll post pics soon...When I give it a bath...
