How about this?


Sorry, I just couldn't help myself.

The KLR650 is a nice balance between dirt and street. It's not exceptional at either task, but it's pretty good at both.

Where's the motor?

I'm 6'6" and 280 pounds. I just bought a 2001 Honda shadow ACE 750 because I fit really nice on it and it didn't have the donkey kong on a minibike affect. I'll put some 7" control extensions on it to make it even more comfortable. Find a dealer in your area and go sit on some bikes. Make sure to ask permission to sit on em.
