Very nice and congrats on the new bike, let me know if your planning to ride this weekend. I was thinking about doing a day trip Saturday or Sunday with my yz250 to Ocotillo Wells or superstition.
-
Welcome and there is definitely a good group of guys here. I'm planning a road ride with some friends Saturday then maybe a dirt bike ride in Ocotillo Sunday

Awesome thanks for posting, I could use one of these and will head over later. -
I might be up for this one of these mornings although i sometimes get home from work at 3-4 am so maybe on one of my "early" nights i can meet up. I usually start from the Santee side off strathmore and play on the fun stuff like Blazing Saddles,Mojo X,Mongo etc. But sold my DH/FR bike and only have a HT 29er now so peddling is fine with me (although I'm SLOW on the climbs)

Hmmmm never done this ride before, What kind is it ? -
Got a great deal on a new 2014 CB500X yesterday at Motoworld. Been out riding most of the day and so far i am very happy although i plan to put a little more aggressive tires on for the dirt it handled fire roads fine as is plus it's very comfortable cruising the highway @80
-
Good thing i called them today, they are only open m-f 8-5 so guess i will shop around more local tomorrow
-
Well planning to take the drive up Saturday am and also stop by berts mega mall although i don't have a truck anymore so looking for a small/cheap trailer to take just in case or maybe rent a uhaul
-
Thanks for the info and think i might have to reconsider my thinking after reading some reviews. I am free this weekend and think i might take the drive and look at these before buying anything.
-
Thanks for the advice and know there is some good deals on used but looking at new as i have a blank preapproved check from NFCU and why I'm leaning towards buying a new street/commuter bike and saving some cash to buy a used dirt bike or just get a new DR650 Thanks
-
I was hoping to make a decision this weekend but am still not sure which route to go and to top it off i stopped by Motoworld today and they have a new 2015 Honda CB300F on sale for $3499 so even though it's not my ideal bike i would have cash left to buy a used dirt bike and have this for a commuter that gets 71 mpg.........still can't get the thought of a 2015 "do it all" DR650 out of my head either
-
I wish there was a dealer in San Diego as i would like to see one of these in person. I stopped by Motoworld today and they have a 2015 Honda CB300F on sale for $3499 so even though it's not in quite the same category it is in price.
-
Have to admit, being in the market for a new bike these definitely have my interest and even though they have a lot of good reviews I'm not sure i could pull the trigger Ha-ha Does anyone own one locally ?
-
Thanks for all the input. I really like the DR650 but seeing how most of my riding would be highway I'm leaning towards either the cb500x which i have found new 2014's for $4600 or the nc700x which i have also found to for $4999 for new 2014 then think save up a little and buy a 1k-1500 dedicated dirt bike as i have the means to tow i just liked the idea of having a "do it all" bike I do feel comfortable on a dr650 but for some reason the klr's don't seem to fit me nearly as well so those are out along with the xr's even though they are both great on/off road machines With that being said if the dr650 got 70+ mpg's like the cb500x or nc700x I think it would make my decision easier and would go that route.

After a rough year financially having to sell most of my toys I'm in the position to buy another bike. I have a 90 mile commute and looking to ride to work a few days a week and on the weekends. After doing some research and looking at many bikes i have narrowed my choices down to either a cb500x or a nc700x as they both felt comfortable and get in the 70+ mpg range. I have found a really good deal on both but here is a where the dilemma comes in. I really enjoyed my old drz400s but felt it was a little underpowered so thinking about a new dr650 which would be great on the street and desert other wise if i got either one of my first choices i would also have to get a dedicated dirt bike. Any help/advise would be appreciated
