Took a solo 2 day road trip to Athens Tennessee and on the way back stopped by Lake Oconee. Took a few pics but between the sun and the camera phone most didn't come out to good.

Great ride, beautiful country side and great roads. 255miles round trip and only cost about $12 in gas.

Only things I've bought for it so far is the exhaust, Jet kit, high flow filter, gel seat, the luggage rack and better tires than the stock ones. Probley around $1000 in mods. I scored the full Yoshimura exhaust off ebay for only $250 brand new but dented. I installed the high flow filter, cut a 3"x3" hole in the top of the air box and rejeted it myself and wow what a change. So much power and it hits low in the RPMs and pulls all the way to the rev limiter.

Last sat I beat on it for 6 hours off road and never had a problem with it. Rides so good on both road and dirt.

I love this bike. Best of both worlds and hopefully I can get a extra set of stock hubs and build my 17" rims so I can supermoto it this spring.

O and I'm still paying it off :(

Thanks

Its a great bike and vary easy to take care of also. One of the cheapest to maintain. Only down fall to it is the weight but once you get use to it its great off road.

I'm planing to do a winter road trip soon. Getting a few new parts and some good tires for it soon and plan on putting about 500miles on her.

I plan on doing a 460 build one day but I'm going to wait until it needs a rebuild. Just the few mods I've done to so far surprised me on how much power it opened up.
