Picked up a 1985 Honda XL600R. It's in fantastic shape, and it's a beast.
I have 2 adult kids that want me to teach how to ride a motorcycle. I prefer "dual sports" for this and damage is less than a road bike when it is dropped.
And after moving back to AZ the MVD wants another skills test. That would entail a lot of work on my road bikes.
It's a bit larger than I'd like for teaching but the power is easily controllable.
It's kick-start only so a 600cc single cylinder is a challenge and demands respect. Kick-back can hurt you.
This one also has an issue I need to address before regular use. It will suddenly rev to redline for no reason that I can discern. Haven't delved into it yet.
