Another shout-out from WI. I've got a 2015 WR250R. Located just south of Madison.
Also a little newer to riding, starting a few years ago at the tender age of 45 with the WR. Also leveraging my mountain biking experience (not quite the same, eh?).
Looking to get up into central/northern WI to explore the TWAT, Langlade County area, and further north. Not a lot of off-road to ride on in southern WI.
Mostly been commuting and road-exploring on the WR, but now that I have an Super Tenere, the WR is shifting over to more off-road duty.
