My current dirt bike is a 2000 Suzuki DRZ 400E works great for me. Love single track trails in and around Jackson Hole Wy.

The funny thing is I dont ride motorcycles. My son does and he gets to enjoy it. I think I like the ability to get them for a reasonable price, get them up to par and running, and show them off. I have a quad and an old boat that I like to ride, my wife would kill me if I got on a bike.

The biggest bonus, its wayyy easier to store bikes than cars and trucks.
