YouTubeI doubt any of you will bite, but who knows what all you crazy kids are into these days...
I'm selling my motorbike in order to purchase the two-wheeled ride out there that's perfect for me. This bike is too dang tall (rather I'm too freakin' short) and I wanna buy either a vintage ride or a kickass scoot. Sooooooo, my loss is your gain. Or it could be. Or maybe you'll tell a friend. Whatever. Anyway. So here's the splains...it's a 2008 Yamaha XT250 dual sport. I bought it brand new. I have a clear Ohio title in my greasy little hands (just kidding, I'm not greasy, could use some hand lotion actually). Annnnnnnnd the sucka's got only 617 miles. It has lived in a garage all but about 3 months of its short lil life, and it was covered at that time unless my butt was on it. I know there are a few CU'ers that would like to strangle me for getting rid of it, but until they can manage to make my legs grow about 3 inches, we got's to do what we gots to do. And here's a pic for your enjoyment. Lemme know if you have questions or wanna buy the crazy thing. Or lemme know if you have like a 70's era Honda CB or Yamaha RD sitting around. Or maybe you've got like some Piaggio or Vespa or some kinda rad scooter you want to unload. We could work out a trade. Whatever. Too many words to read here.

I love this thing and will miss it dearly. But I am also looking forward to riding with osulew more often, so it's a good tradeoff. It's the most reliable bike I've ever ridden (of course, it's almost brand new), light enough to pull off even the trickiest urban off-road situations, and fast enough to keep you out of trouble in traffic. Wish I could afford it, I seemed to go the "ten $300 bikes" route instead of the "one $3000 bike" approach.

I need to get me a bike one of these days....but first it'll be an itty bitty one, and a piece of crap because I have absolutely zero coordination and I'm sure it'll be on it's side more than it's upright.This bike is itty bitty as far as weight. It's less than 300lbs. Buuuut it is a bit tall for my liking. HOWEVER, a dual sport covered in plastic such as this is excellent for learning. These things are pretty tough and if you do mangle the plastics, it's like a couple hundred bucks to replace every piece of it on the bike.
I wish I had video footage of Mr. Roko bunny hopping this thing down the street then riding it back to the house...via sidewalk. Scourge of the neighborhood I tell ya... :)Posted 2 years ago # -
