Selling my enduro

Any of you guys in the market for a good small bike? This is 250cc of 4stroke torque.

What a sweet bike, the little cousin to the Honda Trans-Alp. Trans-Alp has a cult following.....will sell quickly if you put it on the right forum like ADVRider or ThumperTalk.........G'luck

I need one of those like a hole in my head. But it would be so much fun. I can't even stay on my Mt. bike, so I know something like this would become a "hurt bike" in the national forest real fast ...

That's no enduro, it's a dualie.
I think you should keep it, what can you replace it for what it would bring?

Seeing as how I have ridden it less than 50miles in the last two years, replacing it isn't a worry currently. Its really to small for me to ride on the road around here, and too big for my parents 10 acres. Its been relegated to living on the patio the last few weeks. We don't have space for it currently, and I could use the money for some upcoming school expenses.... If I get another bike at some point, it will be a street bike.

I think you should buy it Jim. It came from your part of the world. Supposedly some rich doctor kept it on his place in NW AR from the time it was new until we bought it about 8yrs ago.

Would an XL 185 be better on the 10 acres? Would trade you that for it.
I'm at the point where 'one bike enters, one bike leaves'.
But a very neat little bike, I'd give it a good home.

I'd love to have that bike.
Got a 73 XL 250 First new vehicle i ever bought. Sadly.... haven't fired it up in a few years.
She's had quite a few hard miles put on her.

Jim, I'm sure the XL would be good, but that doesn't solve the problem of having a bike that I don't have space to store. I need to be bikeless for a while....


Pete, you make it down this way occasionally don't you?

I'll second the recommendation to post it on ADVRider. It will sell quickly.

Just a thought... We may be taking a pickup to Winterset, IA soon, if any of you all up in that area wanted to meet me there, I'm sure it could be arranged.

Not gonna happen.... After pouring that much time into building it, I doubt I will ever sell it.
