Does anyone else out there enjoy riding on AND off road? I have had many different motorcycles up to about 40 years old. I then concentrated on building my company, now at 64 I finally got back into riding, and decided on a dual sport, since I like both dirt and street. I'm already looking at what I will get after this one. I'm still getting back my skills.

In my younger days I even rode a little motocross. Like you I haven't had a dirt bike in 33 years. I would love to have another one. I hope you have a good time and enjoy. 馃槉
@Musicman The XT250 is great for us old guys. It has a low seat height, so I can put both feet flat on the ground. Very easy to ride, not very fast, but fast enough. I'm having so much fun. I don't like to drive in traffic but its fun to cruise the side streets and hit some easy trails. It is a 2016 and it only had 217 miles on it.
@Musicman I think it is a 32" seat height, I'm only 5'9 with a 30" inseam. It is the lowest seat other than the Yamaha TW200 which is what I was going to get but I couldn't find one. They are really cool bikes. They have really fat tires.
@Musicman Yes, I have lived in the desert since I got stationed at Nellis AFB in 1977.
I grew up in Iowa riding the woods. The desert is more dangerous because of the rocks literally everywhere. lot's of sand too. That is why I like riding in southern Utah, it's a blend of desert, mountains, and forests. You should check out the TW200, it would be perfect for you, if you can find one. They have a cult following, a lot of TW clubs.
