After years of riding the big bikes, I made a very practical decision and just purchase a 2006 Yamaha Xt 225. I had forgotten how much I like the little dualsports. What seems like 100 years ago my wife and I did a RTW on bikes. I started with a 1988 Suzuki Dr 600 and later swapped for a 640 adventure. My wife rode the last part of our trip on her very own Suzuki DR 200 (crossing NZ, Aus and then East Timor to Thailand). She sold the bike when we arrived home and never though much of it. I continued on with the big bikes but always thought about how much that little 200 was a stellar adventure bike. It did everything we asked of it with 0 complaints and 0 dramas.
The 225 will replace the Husqvarna spending much of its time as a frontal impact zone and bug gatherer for the camper. I look forward to having the 225 available for small adventures, shunting groceries, getting into the town centres and just fooling around.
