2010 Kawasaki Super Sherpa $1850. Doesn't have the mirrors. 2010 Kawasaki Super Sherpa KL250 – 5,631 kmRuns and drives mint, starts right up and everything works as it should. Renthal handlebars and brand new battery. Only 5,631 km. Couple scratches on the gas tank but overall in great shape...

Thank you so much - that was really nice of you to do that!! I've been through every listing you provided, but I think I'm just so short of time - given that I'm kind of slammed at work and not really in a great place to take vacation in the first place - that buying a bike is no longer an...

On every bike I've owned, wind buffeting has been terrible for me at speeds over say 60 mph. I've worn the Shoei RF1400s and Schuberth C5s, both reputed to be very quiet. They're quieter than other helmets for me, but still very loud even with plugs at 125 km/h. I have an FXR MX helmet that I...

Alright, I think I've scoured enough places to know I'm not going to be able to find a bike that suits my budget and needs and be able to get it sorted in time. I'm surprised that those little bikes hold so much value; I guess there's a big market of new riders. I think my new plan is going to...

People do indeed do the trail on ADV bikes, but the consensus seems to be that light dual sports are the way to go. I don't want to pick up 450# of bike in mud on an August day! Having said that, it wouldn't surprise me if there was some guy who did it on a Goldwing.

I was hoping to find something for about $4000 or less that had a rear rack for something in the 230-300 class, that looks like it's in decent condition. I've seen a few that fit the bill but I was too slow, and one developed a CEL just as I was on my way. Seller says its a common problem that...

I love it. I'm still prowling bike dealer websites and Marketplace now. If I trailer out there I figure that buys me an extra day to find get sorted. LOL.

I decided just now that if I win the lottery or happen to find a bike I can afford in the next day, I'm trailering, damn the extra gas cost. That will take out at least one big set of unknowns.

The constraint I had here was money. I had a fixed budget to buy a bike. With the bike I had my eye on no longer viable, I'm out of options, unless I can find something at a dealer like today. I wanted something light that had at least a rear rack (didn't want to source one), could go on the...

I LOVE those sentiments. It's the spontaneity and the sense of real adventure that took me. When my BIL had everything planned out down to which hotel we were staying at, I had next to zero excitement about the trip. When I started thinking about putting myself out there, I got excited.

I do have plenty of off-road riding experience. No moto-camping experience. As for whether a KLX would be out of its element or not - if you meant on the trail itself, as I understood it, the little dual sports are considered by some to be nearly ideal bikes for the trail. Maybe you meant on...

I was planning on riding it out there. I could trailer it, but I HATE trailering my bike on my trailer. I swear it cuts mileage down by more than half.

I had previously posted a thread where I was going to do the Newfoundland T’Railway with my BIL on an ATV. He bailed a few weeks ago but I just started fantasizing about buying a dual sport, keeping my ferry booking, riding it to NS and doing the whole ride by myself. Everyone around me...

Is he doing 140+ in a 50kph zone? I couldn't read the speed limit signs. Could he be ticketed on the basis of this video and his listing alone? Assuming he didn't post it someplace claiming to be the rider?

You've gone back, so sounds like it was fun. I'll check it out if it I can.
