I ride offroad. Well, I used to. After moving to the FL panhandle years ago, I had to put ut away because there is no interesting terrain around here.

I had a couple bikes back in college, a Honda Shadow and a Shadow Spirit, but a Chevy Tahoe killed one bike and nearly me. Lost the other one to a frosty morning and slick pavement, and ultimately decided to walk away from bikes in general while both my legs still worked.

I was thinking about finding a beater TW200 somewhere and turning it into a fun little scrambler to cruise into town. Not surprisingly, the two people I already mentioned this to ridiculed me on the basis that those fat tire bikes are SLOW, but after two wrecks I'm not into speed on two wheels anymore. Just looking for a fun project bike I can ramble around on. Thinking something like this:

I'm 29 years old and started riding on a XR200 in 2002 at age 15. Graduated that from that to a CR125cc soon after and rode until 2005 when i left for college. Fast forward to 2012, i bought a CR250cc. First time back on the track, i tried railing a nice berm, jumped it and broke my femur and ankle. Sold it to pay for the $140,000 surgery, or at least the deductible. So, the answer, i used to ride.

yeah! That's actually where my search started. That bike looks awesome but being a concept that might not make it into production, I started to search around for smaller bikes I could turn into a scrambler myself. With a little more HP, I could take the TW200 on trails if I wanted to without redlining a 50cc motor and bottoming out the shocks on a street bike. And the price is right- I've seen a few TWs on craigslist for under $3k.

Add me to the conversation pleeeez

the street bike is a 2009 Kawasaki Concours 14, black...bags on, im a commuting droner bags off, and its a confortable ZX14-power for days.

the track toy is a 2000 Suzuki SV650, well monified with a converted GSXR 600 full race front suspension, 180/55 rear wheel conversion with Ohlins race shock. handles like a dream, but with just enough power to wash a load of laundry...ie, not much at all.

previous bikes, street and track 2000 Yam R6, 2001 Hon F4i, 1996 Yam YZF600R, 1999 Hon F3, 1994 Hon F2....

yeah, i love bikes...

@marshal

Have you considered a Yamaha FZ-09 or FJ-09? Both should save you some coin and provide plenty of thrills, plus ergonomic for the long rides.

I don't ride anymore but when I did...
2009 KTM Duke 690
2009 Yamaha YZ-250f
2008 Yamaha TTR-110 (supermoto)
2007 Yamaha YZF-R6

I have to second the Yamahas . After coming off of a Triumph Daytona 675 (which is track-only now) I really wanted a Multistrada - something as fast through the canyons as the Daytona that was light years more comfortable. I didn't want to spend the money though.
After A LOT of research, I decided on aN FJ-09 and couldn't be happier. It's tons of fun in the twitsies, my wife is happy on the back and I just finished a one-day 500 mile ride up through the mountains and back along the coast on it. A ride like that would have destroyed me on the Daytona.
