The NX250 is the last bike I would get rid of. It is the ultimate compromise machine. John – the side panels can be shelved during the learning curve.

Hi Steve,
I agree! The NX will keep up where most smaller (older) bikes don’t, it’s nice and light, easy to pick up, bulletproof, cool looking… just a bit short for the taller folks though. Needs a corbin, or anything but stock, for long trips too.
Tracy
And John,
I’m fine with selling the white NX for Alex. It was registered and running a couple of summers ago. I think it would need some brake work and a carb clean (if you want to have a winter project for the two of you). It’s time to clean out some of the less used bikes I think.

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.
