New bike.

liverchip · 08-22-2009, 06:42 PM

I know I've been absent as of late, work as of late has been busy. After 6500+ KM's of heavy desert riding, I think I moved beyond the ability of the bike to hold up to any heavier abuse, so I have finally upgraded to a Honda XR650L. I am not retiring my X-Moto, but it certainly will not be seeing many more harsh miles. I am still up for riding if any should be in the area. My son has taken to my old bike, and as he is tall and thin it is a better fit than the old Shineray.

Hehe...The mods have begun. Now uncorked and jetted with a Uni filter.....Scary fast. The front wheel comes up just hitting the throttle.

i wanted to see the china bike with 6500+ on the clock sounds to me like a good ad for china bike, you know since they fall apart sooo quickly, 6500km sounds pretty fair for any bike to make it though the dirt

Katoranger's has more miles than mine.

Cal25 · 08-24-2009, 09:27 AM

I think Katoranger has about twice that.

I have about 10,250 miles, but those are mostly street miles.
