I'm not a brand loyal guy at all, but that new Super Tenere from Yamaha looks like the cat's ass. Too bad they're probably out of your price range too.

What about the KTM 690? That's a sweet bike.

have a look at 1000cc versys or vstrom, not the prettiest bikes but very capable

Yes to both. Do they make a 1000 versys? It would be great if they did. I also like:

I'm on the hunt for an old RD 400 or 350 two stroke street bike and turning it into a bit of a rat rod. I don't know what it is but spraying blue smoke in the street seems so wrong yet so right. ;)

I know a guy who has a project one, if your interested let me know. It needs a bunch of work, it is not even close to running.

Thanks. There are a few floating around in good running shape that can be had for next to nothing. Apparently there aren't too many people who appreciate the personality of a 2 stroke street bike. :lol:

Just gotta sell my mtb and buy one!

We don't know what our limits are, so to start something with the idea of being limited actually ends up limiting us.

:cry: it pains me to say this but i don't think i'm going to get back into dirt biking for a while. i'm away working all summer long and during the winter i'm going to get back into snowboarding, pedalling up fromme and volunteering with the nsmba.

Might be a worthwhile investment if there's not too much wrong with it: http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/van/mcy/2626487731.html

I have to ask a stupid question to the street bike crowd. I know its a stretch but bear with me….

Let's say you bought a street legal bike, could be an XR650 or it could be an RD400 or anything in between. You get it insured for the road, but then you come across a replacement engine from a non-street legal bike that you want to stuff into the bike. Can you get away with doing this? Would the average cop recognize a CR500 engine in a dual sport bike?
:lol:

So you'd have a normally street legal chassis and components with a different power plant. Let's leave emissions controls out of this.
:devil:

I told you it was a stupid question.
