[QUOTE="OnAnySunday, post: 169127, member: 20641"] Nope, Honda never did a street/trail 400cc dualsport. (not in the U.S. anyways) :( The closest they came was the mid eighties XL350R and the mid seventies CL450K series. Also, the XL series was just a slightly detuned, slightly heavier lighter suspended XR. (those problems can be easily remedied by the way). What it's goint to come down too (when picking out your bike) is: Do you want light weight (flickability) and mediocre power? (250cc) Or do you want tons of tourque and some extra weight to throw around? (400+ccs) When i got back into the sport (aftera 10 year absence) i was looking for a 250 / 350cc machine to use in the tight Pa. woods. I found a 500cc thumper that was too good of a deal to pass by. (XL500R) So i snatched it up. Did i regret it? Not one bit! In fact i still have it, and ride it almost every weekend. Ive bought and sold quite a few bikes since then (2 and 4 stroke) but the 500 is definatly a keeper. :D In the end though, it all comes down to user prefference. Some preffer light weight. Some (like me) are tourque junkies. I think Carrol Shelby put it into perspective when he built the legendary 427 Cobra: "Too much horsepower still just isn't enough." Just MHO. :p :p PS: dirtbikeoh, 17 / 44 gearing??? yeesh! and i thought my 500 was geared high!! (14 / 43) [/QUOTE]
