Man oh man.... That 400 looks mint, like you bought it last week. You have taken really nice care of it and that's great to see. Reminds me of my riding here in the mountains of Florida...

Yeah, it's a pretty clean bike... I bought it 6 years ago from the original owner, and he put about 600 miles on it over the 8 years he owned it. It maybe has a total of 1000 miles on it now.
My KLX250S and Versys. I outfitted the Versys to go on a 1800 mile trip across Oregon this summer that would be 50% off road, but in the end I took the KLX instead. I figured I would prefer to enjoy the off road and suffer the highway than vice versa. I'm hoping the AT will span both worlds comfortably.
That's a bit of an understatement. Definitely the wrong tool for the job... kind of like trying to use a hammer to rip sheets of plywood, or attempting to drive nails with a circular saw.
No question about it, the Africa Twin will confidently to go those places well beyond the end of the road... wild places only a fool would attempt to ride a bike like a Shadow Sabre. Make no mistake though, as capable as the CRF1000L is, it's still a 500+ lb bike... which is heavy enough for an experienced off road rider. For anyone with little to no real off road experience under their belt, they will most certainly have their hands trying to muscle around an AT in the gnarly stuff.
I've gone full circle in my riding of motorcycles over the years. Started off riding off-road motorcycles and competing in hare scrambles in my younger years. I had a Suzuki RM125, then a Yamaha IT200 and also a YZ250 which I fitted with a low ratio gearbox and a bigger fuel tank. Then I moved on to the street with a Yamaha DT125, a Suzuki TS185, a Yamaha XR500 and a few other bikes. More recently I had these two..
..now I'm going back to my roots(sort of) with the AT
I went into a dealer pretty set on trading in my AT DCT ES on the 2020 version. Their offer was pretty crazy but I spotted something else on the way home. It really got me thinking that it could be a fun bike to have. However since the dealer ticked me off so much I went to another one to buy...

Going through some pics and found one of my other toy. All original Trail 90, about 900 miles on it. Haven’t ran it in years, should clean it up and get it running.
Also have my dads 1976 Elsinore 125, his old 1969 Trail 90 that is missing quite a few pieces, and his 1981 XL250S that spun a...
Don’t know why but just wanted one of these. Cost new less than some luggage systems plus they have made them for years and appear to be fairly robust. It’s not a honda but sticker looks good.
Got up to 55mph on the first run - felt like 155!!
