I may upgrade. I have an old XR 250 I ride trails with a few times a month.
My trails aren't nearly as nice as yours, but it is a lot of fun.
Thanks for the post.

Granted, at 52 years old I'm more of an "explorer" than "racer", happy to just plod along taking in the country and the fresh air. The big Honda does that with aplomb.
When I was last riding this very same stretch of back country (30 years ago), I was always ripping along on some hyper two stroke MX bike, racing my buddies wherever we went. Great fun for a 20-something young man, but my old bones just don't have it in them anymore. This bike (with its friendly nature) suits my new riding style, not to mention its dual sport convenience. It's great to be up in the woods on a bike again after all these years.
