Michelle's Bike: 2001 Yamaha XT-225
This is my bike! She is an absolute beast, capable of going a whopping 60 mph before red-lining. She definitely thrives at lower speeds and does extremely well, when off-roading. So far, I've taken the bike through the Pennsylvania BDRx, Drummond Island, MI and all other the Michigan's Upper Peninsula and have had no major issues. I am excited to see how she performs out west. To this point, I have only run 80/20 tires (favoring street), and I have had no issue making it through water, mud, or sand. The bike is super light (~267lbs wet), so that has helped a ton with maneuvering when on unstable ground .
Sam's Bike: 2007 Kawasaki KLX250
This is my 2007 Kawasaki KLX 250S. I bought this in February of 2023, with intentions of owning a more nimble enduro in place of my heavier Suzuki DR650. During my one year of ownership, I have since installed DOT approved “knobbies”, rejetted the carb, and added some storage options. This bike is small but mighty, I’ve had it up to 85+ mph but it much prefers 55.
