crickets.....

Awful quiet in here. You clean guys don't say much.
Outside of this room all I hear is dirty talk

Ah! This section of the board wasn't opened earlier today, else I would have posted in here! Good deal.

And not all X owners keep it clean!

no pics, so i don't believe it.

however, a google image search does reveal this:

*drinks one can of Canada Dry and two cans of Pepsi, then lets out a thunderous belch* There. THAT was louder than the crickets.

New site. The little wheels will get rolling soon.

I'll be buying a wr in march. I'm still up in the air about the r model or x model. I'll be spending alot of time on paved roads to get to the dirt.
I can't get the big wheels right away for switching back and forth. Anyone with opinions on buy an X vs R. I'm leaning toward the X version.

a DOT knobbie works a lot better on the street than a sportbike tire does in the dirt.

I got an X and love it. Its great fun drifting in the loose dirt on street tyres. Does bog down a little in the deep sand though. You can take any bike anywhere, Just depends on how brave you are....

Street bikes don't like wet grass...

Yeah, it's amazing what can be done with street tires. The only real limitations I've run into so far where I would really prefer a knobby is mud and wet grass.

General dirt and gravel don't seem to matter what I have on for tires. I did get a little stuck one day turning around in some really soft dirt (almost like sand). The rear wheel was spinning quite a bit, but I think I would have been fine if I'd been able to keep moving.

Anyway Labratt, I agree with you. It's awfully fun having a bike that handles like this thing does on the pavement and can still 'play' in the dirt.

When I go to the dealers to look at WR's , I'll probably jump on the R, since I'm leaning towards adventure riding mode more...but If the prices for some reason is better on the X, well, money is money, right?

You can always get an R wheelset...

That was my plan. Get the X, play motard, if I like it in the dirt more than my KLR, then get a second set of wheels. The street tires are pretty good in the bit of dirt they've seen though.

Found a bit of mud on the way to the motard track last night. I'm guessing it was part of the entrance exam. The philosophy being that if you can't handle a bit of mud on the street tires then you shouldn't be motarding.
