Been awhile since I've posted, so time for an update. Long story short: been spending months looking into stepping up a notch with my dual sport. After endless research online and test riding a few bikes, I zeroed in on a Yamaha WR250R. It just showed up today (I had it transported from out of state), and here it is next to the existing CRF. It's interesting to note the difference in features, weight, etc. More to come, but for now just letting them get to know one another!

And here she is after the first test ride, and a little clean up and lube of her lower parts, if you know what I mean. Just switched over the hand guards from the CRF to the WRR, as this bike is definitely going to be a keeper!
