Not counting any of my parts bikes, too many sitting around. I mostly miss my old 70s Yamaha enduros, those were good bikes. 2008 Yamaha WR250R does not compare favorably to a old two stroker I'm afraid. Yamaha FJ1200 and the XT500 were my 2 biggest dissappointments.

321,000 miles on KZ's that I can remember. Not going to see any more.

I'm curious about what's bad with the XT and also what made the DT better than the WR! Other than the XT600 being worn out it was a bike that gave me great pleasure. I know there are very little in common between the 500 and 600, but the XT was very popular in its time.
