I would like something a bit bigger than a 250. In the dirt 250 is great, but on the street a bit more is good for highway speeds. KTM has/had a bunch of choices, 450/500/530/690 (690 is a bit heavy). My neighbours friend has a street legal KTM 450 enduro that he's going to let me try.

I wish Yamaha made a street legal WR450... I know I could build one, and I may do that, but it would be nice to have it ready made like the WR250X (supermoto).

Apex has a 2011 530 for sale :)

It would! My first street bike was a 1972 CL350, just like this one:

What are you going ot do for gear on that?
You still gonna rock the one piece or are you going to get more dirtbike protection?

Everyone I see on enduro's are usually in super squid mode.

On the street I will still wear my street gear. :) When I took out my neighbour's RM-Z250 on the weekend all I had was a helmet, t-shirt, shorts, shoes. I felt so naked and nervous. Can't do that anymore. I got to the end of our street and almost took it into the mud bog construction zone but I would have crashed for sure. LOL

For the dirt I already have a helmet, goggles and gloves. I would need to get armour, elbow pads, boots, pants and a jersey.

I've heard that the WR250 actually isn't bad on the highway....whatever that means.

There was someone selling a Husky SM610 on Kijiji that I was considering before I got my R6. A lot of the supermotos in that category are awesome bikes.
 
So...
Thinking about hitting Morty's after work (5:15-5:30ish) and then meandering on over to Royal...
Anyone else care to meet up for the wings/ride?
 
I think I may have rode past Tim out on Northfield this evening.
 
Tommorow night bridge and uni? Leaving around 6:30 anyone else in?
