Should I trade?

My neighbor wants to trade me his:


For my:


Should I?

I don't think you're at the age of driving a Buick yet, are you?! 

[Duck-Stew]

Yes.  You'll get more $ for the Buick (there are Reatta freaks out there....) than you would for the dirtbike.  Then, put the $ towards mods and/or booze.

and it isn't gold colored

is there anything wrong with the car?
other then the headlights being stuck.

Minor things; it needs a tuneup, the sunroof has a broken linkage, and it has a small ding above the right rear wheel arch.
The bike needs an oil change, and keeps blowing headlight bulbs.

How much are you looking to get for the XL?  My boy is starting to get pissed about how much Im riding his xr 70....

[Gator]

seems a pretty sweet deal. It'd make the beast with two backs with that.

[KnightofNi]

can you jump the reatta in the woods without doing quite a bit of damage?

Quite correct, unless...

Car ownership = 0, and probability of rain > or = 50% then car > bike

I Would still keep the XL though. Buy a crap car off CL for poor weather

I'd trade, just for the sheer oddity of the Reatta.

One of the main reasons I'm even considering the trade is the fact that there are no woods or trails within 40 miles of me. I would have to take it to an offroad park and pay to ride their trails, or down to the outer banks to ride on the beach. I also have a 2002 DRZ-400 in the garage which hasn't been ridden in 6 months.

for 7 years i haven't needed a car through all weather. it's a mindset. good rain gear pays for itself

in that case i'd make the trade. the DRZ will be easier to handle offroad anyways.

Riattas have special interest value?  I'll be damned.  Unless you are talking about the original (1940).  I think I would rather own a Rambler.
