Its only a bleedin' H***a
I have to admit that when it comes to dirt bikes, I do rate H***a as they are well made/engineered and can take a fair bit of abuse and keep on going
I usually have a dirt bike for the winter so I can have a bit of fun getting to work. My journey is a 25 mile round trip and mostly through back lanes, past farms and stuff
So this is my latest addition, an XR400R and boy is it good fun

Nice!
Been researching "adventure" bikes for my trip to America as one of the things I want to do cross some desert and do some wilderness riding, I came across this worrying problem with some BMW's.
bike with 95 miles on the clock 2011 model!
and another!
Some more

Good looking bike there Pigford! My background is from racing motocross and riding dirt bikes so I will always have a special place for them. H**** does make a quality part. My roommate has an XR650R on 17s and it is a hoot.
I just recently saw the KLX 450R and am planning on having myself a little supermoto project (when the money comes around
). Kawasaki only brought this bike to the states in 2008-2009 but you can still find a good clean bike for around $3500-$4000 all day everyday.
tell me this wouldn't be fun to ride.
XR400R

I am selling my dirt bike as I cant get on with it. It would pull a house down but its too slow for me. Might go for something bigger when its gone

I had a "Pinkey" for a while - know exactly what you mean about too slow - but as you say, pulls like a b*****d for such a small motor
I regret selling my XL500R to Paul B - but needed the cash at the time
That KLX does look mean
too much bike for me though

Only another H@nd@. Started life as a Dominator, here with Bandit wheels, Africa Twin forks, modded s/s exhaust with near empty original silencers, tank of an SR650, you get the gist.
When I eventually sold it it was also running different cams, flat slide , Arrow exhaust and a KR1S swingarm, but cannot find a photo of it like that yet. Must have one somewhere.
