Thats a real nice Honda, too bad you let go of it, how long did you have it for? Chris, yea they are $$, mine is an 01, so it didn't cost me an arm and a leg. I agree with what you're saying about the tech on bikes now. Mine has an electric start, and it was acting up.(Starter wouldn't engage) So I can to bypass the clutch safety switch because it was going out. It was meant for the bike to be started only if the clutch was pulled in. It doesn't have a kick start ether...so If the starter breaks, I gotta bump dtart it. Ducatis are nice, I had a friend a while back wreck his :(

I'll have to take a better picture of mine... Mine looks a lot different now... One day I hope to have a nice Ducati 848 but thats years down the road.

I've also been eying the new CRF400's, but wow have dirt bikes gotten expensive.
So high tech now too, just think there is too much stuff to break on them now. So I think I'll just keep what I have, especially since I haven't actually went on a real ride in like 5+ years :(

That was probably pretty fun to ride! Yea the XR are very tough bikes! But like most things, if you take care of your stuff it should last.

I had a friend who had a Ninja want to say 600?? It was an older one, he was trying to sell it and I had it my house for a few months. Just to make sure the battery kept charged, I had to take it out every a couple days. :)

Ya the XR's are the tanks of the dirt bike world. not really fast, but they'll plow through anything. (lol)
What I love about the bike the most is, they require almost no maintenance at all. All I do is grease the shocks, and change the oil a couple times a summer. I've never once in 20+ years, done anything else to it! It starts right up, doesn't smoke and runs all day long.

Nice Bikes! Chris, I was eyeing a XR400, but ending up with the DRZ because it fit my riding stlye better. Just bust out the rain gear btw. That Ninja is sweet! I could have gotten a ninja 250, but I like dirt bikes a bit more and it's pretty much all city driving here so the SM was the choice.

Nice Ninja, since I started a new job and have to drive a lot. I've been thinking about getting a bike. but every day it rains here, it changes my mind back quickly.
Anyways here is my dirt bike. Just put a new seat cover on it, bike looks so much newer now. It's an 87
