Now you're talking, looks like a decent deal. Is that the dirt bike you are buying?

Very cool VMan. Nice bike, wasn't the XT225 called &quot;Serow&quot; at one point?

[VStarMan]

<div></div><div>Very Good, Why yes it was Mr. Shines....</div><div>But I'm not smart enough to know what Serow means????</div><div>Can you help???</div><div>I took her out on the gravel roads today and came back</div><div>pretty dirty from the knees down...</div><div>Soooooo.... I must have had a good time!</div><div> </div><div>I am amazed at how well knobby tires handle on gravel!</div><div><div><br><blockquote><div><hr>Monkeyshines wrote:<br>Very cool VMan.

<div>Beautiful riding area, bike looks good too.</div><div> </div><div>Dead o winter and yer out there mixing it up, yeah, I'm jealous.</div>

[VStarMan]

<div>I don't see myself running the dirt roads in the winter time;</div><div>but I'll bet if a guy put an on/off switch on the headlight</div><div>that there would be enough reserve power to come up with 70 watts</div><div>to power a long sleeve heated jacket liner...</div><div> </div><div>This little dual purpose XT225</div><div>will run 65 mph down the road and delivers 70-80 mpg.</div><div> </div><div>If it was seriously my only bike, I think I'd get a 400 or 600cc one</div><div>just for kicks and giggles..</div>
