Blustery cold day here in NePa, thought I'd check the shop and see the inventory. Turns out they had a variety of XT's and KLX's, most new but some used. Since the only dirt riding I did was 2 years ago in the Mojave desert on a KTM 300 and was thoroughly impressed, it seemed like a good idea to spend some time here. Prices ranged from $ 3900 to $ 6000 and those were asking prices. What I noticed the most was the seats. Really narrow and really stiff.. Then I thought of the Brozz ( I think ) and the softer memory foam seat. At least some called it that.

Admittedly, the desert was probably 60/40 standing vs sitting in full leather gear, throttle half to intermittent WO I certainly wasn't concentrating on comfort, just hanging on the bars and having the time of my life. So it turns out upon reflection that if I'm to ride on the street 60 to 70 percent of the time I sure as heck want a softer ride than what I felt today on the KLX's and the XT's. These meandering thoughts and a couple of bucks buys you a coffee..
