There is nothing better than knowing that you will return to the truck afterwards every time! It started with my old 85 xl, I t-boned a deer at 55 and with a few minor "adjustments" was able to ride back out 30 miles away. Now with my 00 xr4 I know the reliability is still there and the bike has more torque than the dr I often ride with. I hope someday soon Honda may come to there senses and bring the xr back, until then I know my xr4 will never let me down.
