Just an Idea

***** WARNING ***** pardon my jumbled mesh of ideas i've been typing down between work, haha its a mess


Well I've been toying around an idea in my head for a few days now. One that is causing me great strife. I've been thinking about selling my Motorcycle I dont want to sell it, but I think I want to move in other directions. Cost and sheer amount of registered vehicles, and <3 for dirtbikes is a factor.

I have recently acquired a dualsport bike (klr250) and i love the fact that i can ride it down the road, then hop on a trail and ride it all day with a smile on my face. the klr is a nice bike and all but i want a better one, with more power and better suspension, one that is not better suited for beginner riders.
So i really really really want to upgrade it, thats where the delema is. I cant really afford a new dualsport, MAYBE if i sell the yota and my curent dually i could have BOTH my motorcycle AND a new dual sport. But realisticly do i need 2? selling the motorcycle will net me a god chunck of $ and aloow me to pay other bills as well as a new dualsport so... im confused

The bikes



Yamaha WR250r (i want to buy)

• low cost of ownership, ie. registration is dirt cheap and $100 a year insurance
• 70 mpg
• its sweet in the woods
• its still fun on the road
• i can ride tons of trails with it leagaly
• less likely to die on it, ie. it wont wheelie at 90mph and i would ride it slower all around
• not as powerfull as sport bike
• less bad ass as my triumph

Triumph Speed Triple 1050

• Its BADASS, i mean, just look at it
• it will wheelie whenever you want it to, and sometimes when you dont
• chicks dig it
• its fast
• its bad ass
• i can ride it all day (comfortable)
• i never ride it at legal speeds.... ever :\
• It can kill me easy, it has tried
• insurance is crazy on it
• 35mpg (if i romp on it, and thats usualy all i do)

hM...The fact that can you ride the new bike on the road and off the road is pretty sweet. The questions is, how many vehicles do you need on road and how many off?

That Triumph is sex It sounds to me like you are leaning towards selling the Triumph for the dualsport

I no longer know if my previous post is at all relevant.

thanks man, I love it! but i am worried about how its indusive to high speed shenanigans. And i am digging adventure riding/exploring with the dual sport, its a hoot. If i had the mulla (read: if i didnt have a house or a jeep lol) i would have both
