Love this damn bike. Amazing off road and surprising for a 250 on road. I can maintain 70 unless I have a headwind or if I am loaded down with camping gear.
Last of the carbureted Japanese 450s. Great suspension, easy to ride for a 450 but can haul when it needs to. Weaknesses are turning, doesn't really like to cut a sharp corner, and a weak clutch that doesn't tolerate much abuse.
Great bike, easy to ride fast fairly comfortable, simple 2 valve air cooled motor with tons of torque and character. Great on long distances. Weakness is off road and sand specifically.
