I often think about buying a 2 stroke, Like a CR 125 or a 250. I just miss that hard hitting, out of control,power band and the smell of 2 stroke exhaust. But the only place to ride it would be at the local track and I just don't feel like going around in circles all day..

I often wondered ifthe D.M.V here in N.Y.would give me a hard time registering a bike that has been convertedto street from another state. Would they honor the new title?

My 300 exchas dual sport kit and I also got a set of 17" rims. I just got it. There is to much snow to ride it yet, so I just left it at my other house(up north). I can't wait for the warm weather but I'm enjoying riding the new sleds.

RE: Favorite other bike
I dig the yamaha fZ6. I think that would be my "dream other bike". R6 engine minus the lower back pain and sore wrists. I am a big fan of the japanese 4 cyl's of the 70's and 80's (Kawasaki KZ, Suzuki GS,Honda CB (like EMS's),etc.) The FZ6 sort of reminds me of amodern version of one of those.Of course, all of the other bikes that have been mentioned are cool as well.

RE: Favorite other bike
Well I love the "naked"street bikes here are my two favs...
Or maybe wait as I think Honda is coming out with a new version of the CB750, I saw a pic in a bike magazine, but couldn't find it on any Honda sites yet...it's sweet too.

My next bike will probably be the new Triumph street triple, very nice bike and I miss my sportbike. I like riding on the street too but not with the klx. I'll keep my klx for the trails and ride a triumph for longer road rides. If I had no limit I would probably own:
-Triumph tiger
-KTM 450
-Honda CBR600RR
-Ducati Monster
-Suzuki Boulevard M109R (I like those kind of sport cruiser bikes)
-Can-Am Renegade 500
Thanks for letting me dream a bit...

My 1980 XT500. Just for the joy of pure thumpy goodness; a single piston, two wheels, a seat, a frame, and a gas tank. What else do you really need?
Well...
A (used) Harley with some cornering clearance would be nice for those longer road trips; FXDXT Dyna Super Glide T-Sport...
Of course I would need a 2008 KTM 690 Duke for ripping the twisties and urban assault...
