I quit buying BMW's when they decided to make the oil cap need a specialty tool to add oil. Ugh.
The same bike that says burning a quart of oil every 800 miles is "within spec".
I'm happy you like yours.

Thanks Cooter for the insight. Only borrowed a buddy's dirt bike. 400 4 stroke. That was fun. Even more fun when he said you have to go faster in deep sand. yea total noob on off road motorcycling. Almost got a ZERO DSR, but luckily I found the EBR first. :eagerness:
No worries my man:eagerness: Borrow, trade, or test ride a bunch of different ones and find what fits! I always preach that a good dirt rider makes and excellent street rider:angel:
I've been eyeballing this...

Do it you Hooligan!!
Ryan F9 needs his own weekly show. He could post an entertaining video about shoveling snow, he's that good:angel:
One thing to think about is maintenance. The orange bikes USE to require oil changes at an hourly interval. Not sure about that now but a few years ago that took them out of my hunt. I have to ride to where I'm going to ride off road. 6,000 mile oil change sold me on my Xchallenge. Mind you it's not a single track beast (at least in my hands) but fire roads and street are cake. The x stock was 340# wet. Last time I weighed it with me and all my camping gear it was 600+! :black_eyed: A lighter bike should handle better than a heaver on in the dirt but not as good on the road. Just like tires.
Surfing search tempest now for used bikes. ugh. I hope I don't find a good deal now.
Next step, SuperMotos for everyone!!! LOL
