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 just wanna ride this once.. maybe a couple of times... This thing is just sick...

I’ve broken 100mph + on water, snow, tarmac (much faster), and dirt/gravel.. but I’d love to break 150+ mph on dirt/gravel on two wheels.
Don’t know why, cause my normal cruise...
So you woke up one day and I thought, "I know, I'll put this sidecar on my AT!" What were you thinking! Neat sidecar but..........:eek:. It's always dogs though isn't it, sidecars and dogs, it's like bread and butter.
