Title: Sold the Monster, bought a Honda
Post by: Wanwo on October 17, 2009, 04:26:06 PM
Got rid of my 2006 S2R 800 and picked up this 223cc road-trail. Just felt I wanted something completely different.

I had a great time hanging around DMF these last few years. Will pop back now and then.

PEACE!

You went from an 800 to a 250?  Man, that is a HECK of a change to something completely different!

the only problem is..... they don't want to go, so they pin you down on some rocks so you cant leave.

I suppose it wouldn't make a difference if he traded in a Honda CBR600 instead of a Ducati.  He wanted a different type of ride in the form of a dirt bike.

I guess that's okay if you couldn't afford to own both and you prefer riding off-road more often or like riding an off-road bike on the streets.

But a street bike to a dirt bike is a big change.  It's not like going from a cruiser to a sportbike. Even if they are different, both are still street bikes.

Give the guy a break.  He didn't say he married his sister, or traded it for a mini van.

What ever you ride, enjoy it.  [thumbsup]


I'm down with those Gene Simmons boots. Talk about throwin' some sparks off your knee pucks.  [evil]

The boots go with this pic - I'd need something that tall, too

   Nothing wrong with a good dual purpose bike, especially a Honda, more of these hardcore road riders should practice sliding a corner or two on a gravel road. hope You enjoy it as much as I enjoy My XR650... RAGE ON! [moto]

I disagree, its a Honda so it should be the CR-V of the motorcycling world.  [coffee]

Tango, your cousin married your sister?  Were there a lot of missing teeth in those wedding photos?

I love my S2R800.

I just don't understand the logic man. 

Can you backflips with that bike?

1: Good for you  [thumbsup]

2: You don't have to, it's not yours.  :)

Some here could ask you the same question...but why?
