[Tanx] [External] Re: Bike for sale in Eastern CT.

Greetings,
I have been watching from the shadows till now.  But the discussion of the NX250 got my attention.
So, my two cents:

I have two NXs at home and ride them often (when I'm home) and love them.  I spent the summers of 2011, 12 and 13 touring EU on an NX250. I have a friend in Amsterdam that I borrow from and he comes to Colorado to borrow from me.

I left Colorado in Sept of 2015 and toured down to Ushuaia then back up to Bueno Aires where I sold it.

I left Amsterdam this past July on an NX250 and crossed to Morocco in August. I am currently in Ivory Coast.  I hope to make it to Cape Town then back up to Cairo on the east coast.  Wish me luck.

The NX is a versatile bike. I like it for many reasons. It is simple, lightweight and just powerful enough and I can pick it up by myself.

Since he will be starting out, I need to find a ride for him that has body panels available.  That kind of nixes the NX > : - (

XT250?  it's a play bike. 18 HP, will not go on the highway but pretty toothless. Maybe that's good.

A CRF250X is a more woods friendly bike but not full race. They can be plated but it woods biased. (no passenger pegs). Around $2200 used.

KLX250s.  To me this is a real middle of the road DS bike.  Actually it's pretty good at everything.

All Dual Sportieness comes down to tire choice.

This brings up a great topic.

My son Alex is turning 16 next summer.  What would be a good Dual sport for him to cut his teeth on?

Yeah, plated. Ken's old bike.  Too cheap not to get.  I am selling the CB-1. So, I will have the Hawk GT, the CRF and the TA, which I think is near perfect.

The CRF and the Hawk are tiny anyhow.  That matters a lot.

Coolio on the CRF. X, with plates?

Need to thin the heard and prioritize other parts of life before more wheels.

Looks to be in gooD nic.Those forks! Already own an airhead and want something made in this century for my next bike. Unless I find a deal on a TA or old AT.
