Agreed.

The first bike I wanted was a KLR650. Not a motard but I've always liked the Dual Sport look.

I'd like a motard but probably the new Yamaha 225(I think that's it). Something light to flick around. I'd really love to motard out a CR500 just for the Holy Shit factor.

But I want a true dual sport before I get a motard.

I do too much distance riding to consider one as an only bike... I'd love one to crash into shit and tear up my commute with... All goes as planned, a motard will be my next bike.

Weren't you saying that when you wrecked the Buell? And when you got the Honda, and still now you have the TLR.

I've never ridden one... and up until recently I never could understand the draw... but as of lately... I'm start'n to take a liking to them... no idea why... it's not like I've recently seen or done something that's drawn me in... or at least nothing I can put my finger on.

I'd like to ride one first... but I'd love to have one in my garage... but to be honest... there really isn't a bike I wouldn't have room for in my garage given the space and money

Yeah... hell, I was saying that before I got the Buell... I came to the conclusion real quick that I couldn't just own a motard and unfortunately my finances have not allowed me to have two bikes... yet.

Don't watch part I cause it plays a Disturbed song... But this has Jump Da Fuck Up, which is awesome... Oh, and this pretty much is why I want a motard...

Man,things have really changed! I rarely like to break out the "S" word but seriously....Those guys couldn't keep it in their own lanes and riding on the sidewalk,up and down steps outside of churches and schools? If that exact video was made using GSXRs you would all be screaming "SQUID!" at the top of your lungs! BTW I have video of a buddy of mine performing WAY better jumps on a GSXR750. Don't get me wrong,I used to do that kind of shit all the time on my enduro,of course it was a 1972 MX250 and I was in HIGH SCHOOL!!!
