XR 200

 
The 2000 XR200, some may call it a "chick bike", but its the best all around trail bike out there for just over 3 grand. It was a great bike to start out on. I bought it new and thought about getting the XR250 or the WR250f, but these bikes are ~ 1,500$ more and were just a little more bike than I needed at the time. I sold it in 2003 to get the Xr250.

Below is a pic of my Dad taking his first ride in 2002.
He pulled the front tire about a foot off the ground, rode it out and kept going, later he ate a little dirt and got right back on like a bad ass.

Notice how the XR200 leans suggestively to the side as if to say "william, please ride me, I love it". Below is a pic of my XR200 still glistening from a mornings ride.

AHH........... Yes, the rear view, always my personal favorite, notice the supple roundish hips, the tail pipe looking like a plump, juicy and ripe upside-down heart, so lustily swaying back and forth up and down as she walks away, turning to look back over her nose she's beckoning me to follow. Wait.... I think I'm looking at the wrong photo.
