XT250 vs Super Sherpa vs KLX250S vs CRF230L

Must research... $3500 sounds pretty good...

2008 Aprilia RXV 450 - 359 miles - $3500



Looks like it has 6,000-mile valve adjustment intervals. Same as the KLR, but probably much more difficult to perform.

Also nice, with only 450 miles:

2007 BMW G650x Challenge - $5900 (Albemarle)

Yup.

I've got a friend who has one on its second engine . . . with less than 5,000 miles on it.

The BMW 650x on the other hand is a decent bike.

One of these might work, too, though I'd rather have the Challenge:

2009 BMW G 650 xcountry - $5400 (Duncan,OK)



I think that is the most out of proportion can-to-bike ratio I've ever seen, though. Low front fender might not fare well, either.

[Krabill]

Never really spent any time with a xcountry, so I couldn't tell you much about them. I have ridden with a guy on a challenge a few times though, and I really like that bike. We did have to stop and fix it a couple times on the trail, but I did like it. btw - never had to fix the wrr on the trail

There's the challenge right behind my bike . . .



And here he is fixing it . . .

What did he break on the BMW and what is that strange Kawasaki with the round headlight?

[Krabill]

I forget what he broke. Something electrical iirc. It was a simple 2 minute fix. He rides the crap out of that bike, too. I wouldn't be concerned.

The crazy Kawasaki is a ratted out KLR and it belongs to a friend of mine here in Tulsa. There was a KTM 450 exc on the ride with us who turned back halfway through the day because it was too rough. The guy on the KLR rode with us the whole day

btw - it might not look like it, but that chick in yellow would give anybody on here a run for their money on the track. She can fly. Seriously. She's embarrassed many a man who used to think he was fast.

She probably kicks ass at the Chinese buffet as well!

Shame about the Aprilia. I've found several now with very low miles at very low prices. I suppose it has developed a reputation...

The G650X may be more appropriate than the Yamaha for the type of riding I'll be doing; probably better on the road and capable of more in the dirt than I am. Costs a lot more, though. I'll take whichever of two I can find for the best [relative] price.
