I’m running 2 Lectric XPs. They’re pretty amazing machines...great for errands. In good weather they basically have us leaving the cars at home and riding. -H-

Sweet ride!

Love for the KTM is nice...but I think with what you're looking for it'd be better to get a "tractor" rather than a race bike. Lots of great choices, and all can be had pretty cheaply...ease of parts and maintenance is key. My girlfriend just sold her 2006 Yamaha XT225, which would be a perfect...

I have one, and it fit just fine in my 100 series, and still fits really well in my 2016 4Runner...you shouldn't have any issue with fitment in an 80 series. -H-

Sold -H-

Bump. Lowered the price. -H-

2006 Yamaha XT225 This was an amazing first bike for my girlfriend, set up to tour deserts and mountain roads, and recently returned from a 600 mile Northern Baja trek. It's time for her to move to a different bike, and this one needs nothing for the next owner to continue adventuring! Set up...

Summer in Baja can get really hot...I've done it in June in full moto gear (gore tex... a mistake). I'd think that'd be your primary concern. Roads are good...but still Mexican roads. The Mex 1 can be full of potholes and wash outs. Security wasn't a problem for me. There's some interesting...

Rolling into beach camp, Baja Sur, Mexico. -H-

Thanks for the Campo Archelon recommendation...I'm heading that way later this month and will check it out. -H-

Thanks Ace! I haven't gotten to Mexico since June...and I'm using your reports to get ideas for next month's Baja wanderings! -H-

First time I did Black Bear Pass was about 23 years ago...and have driven it probably 15-20 times since. The approach to the "step" where everyone takes photos, about 300 yards East, has gotten significantly more eroded over the years. Just this July I ran it in the 4Runner, and it was enough...

I've been looking at (slightly....) using several for a desert crossing expedition; although the general issue is that they're not designed for travel. Adding a trailer and haul vehicle that would need to be stored somewhere kinda turns me off to them in general. I do have a 4 seater Rhino with...

Good article, although I'd read the fine print of the rental agreement before taking a new, rented 1200GS off pavement in Baja.... I'd add a good water filter to the kit if headed into Canon de Guadalupe...the small tienda there can get pretty sparse (I've bought all the beer they had before!) -H-
