I'm at work so I don't have a picture of it on hand but sleeping the winter away in my garage is a 2014 Kawasaki Ninja 300 in green.

Currently I just have a Grom, been looking for something more for a while and this sure fits the bill, going to be a big upgrade from the Grom

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...
Cheers.

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.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.

Are you by any chance using some special protector on the plastics?

Nice! Are you going to keep all three along with a new AT?

That's the plan, the CBR600RR belongs to the wife...0
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.

Here it is - 2000 Honda Shadow Sabre (1100 VT).
Good "cruiser" bike with about 40 K miles of trouble free riding. However, it's a bit of a pig on the sand/gravel trails of Michigan's UP.
Most embarasing riding moment ever -- having to walk back to cottage and get my wife to help me lift this pig out of a sand hole!
Hoping the AT will be a better blend of road/trail capabilities.

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..
