We get hosed with those fees.

ill be honest, Angies supercub is better on the road, hands down, and was 200 less OTD than my trail. I added a $79 rack and it suits her wants. Which is neighborhood, short commutes, no longer than maybe 30 miles out of serious traffic etc. If you want to do anything close to 60 mph on a regular basis, neither the Trail or Cub are the right option. That's just a fact. hence why i say the crf will be a better option as an only bike. Which is just fine farting around at 45mph, but can at least keep up with secondary hwy traffic if need be. .02

Ah?
The crf300 sounds good.. but it's too tall.
Seat height is almost 35 inches.
My inseam is only 29/30? Inches.
So the super cub fits me pretty good.
The trail should work for me also.

Any thoughts on a 2009 Honda CRF230M (supermoto) as the other bike for street use? Its a air-cooled, carbed, six-speed, thumper. Only imported two years I think? Looking at one with 2,200 miles for $3,200. Though the new CRF300L is really nice but hitting $6,000 if you can find one. Got the Harley for high-speed highway use. And the M274 Mule/ammo carrier 4 wheel drive/steer for crawling in the woods with stuff.

I was referring to the 2009 230 above. I have the same inseam..(30) that being said, sit on the 300f. they sink a LOT, you can def ride one. I can no prob. i rode a 2009 sport classic ducati for 7 years, 32.5 " seat height and MUCH wider with very little sag. the CRF has a very narrow seat, it helps. Just saying.

I also love the Yamaha TW200!

I've had two TW's, they are great bikes. Here's my last one.

I remember that crf230sm when they first came out. I'd totally buy one if it were in great shape. Definitely has the cool factor going on .

Friend did buy it. He was hang firing and I said I would buy if he did not.

they sink a LOT

Are you calling me fat ? This is why I like bikes like the TW200 and the CT125. Without large suspension drops, no one's gonna know... (yeah, the downside is a rougher ride, but I'm used to MTB on a hardtail, it'll feel plush compared to that)
