Yes , MMRanch would love to have one of them or the Suzuki version either.

Really , for the same $$$ I could get the Royal Enfield 400cc version with the same fuel millage.

So many toys and so little time !!! Embarrassed

.................

I almost hate to admit it , but I ride the W650 more than any of the ones I have . Its "Well Mannered" and "Capable" at the same time.
I'd still take the Guzzi if going on a long ride.
The LS650 handles better and pulls just about as strong - especially at lower RPMs.
I don't like the chain drive or the tube tires , but its still got the best and easiest to live with manners. Cool

Torn between three lovers !!!

..............
So if Dave starts bring the Trail 90 to play in the dirt with and we want to play too , I might get serious about another toy ? Wink

I took the Ohio BMC course on a TW200. It'd be a great bike for around town or rural two lanes since I'd bet the top speed would ohly be 55-60. And my only issue was the bumpity-bump of the big knobby on the back was annoying on the parking lot after 2 days.

I was amazed at what the big African twin could do till I noticed it was really a CRF 250 twin. Grin

Not that I'm likely to be doing any of that stuff on either bike ! Embarrassed

I must be getting old ! Those jumping around and over stunts gave me a case of "Drop-Jaw" instead of "Envy and Challenge"

Bigger is not always Better !

Hay , if we knew someone who is a "Trials Bike" rider , I'd think they could do that stuff ! Roll Eyes

The first half of the video is a white African Twin.....the second half is the red CR250 single.

Toni Bou is the undefeated National Champion Trials rider for a good reason! He does unbelievable things on any bike he rides!
