I went through a crazy-for-me 2 year period in which I went throught 4 bikes before coming back to the CB1100. Typically, I like to hang on to cars / mc for as long as I possibly can if I like them at all.
I'm [url=https://powersports.honda.com/street/adventure/crf250l]predicting one of these in your future.
The 250 Rally was a contender when I was looking at dual sports before I bought my 450. I didn't want to have to throw a bunch of money at it fixing the suspension and getting it to make more power. Plus, they are as heavy as my old 650. The Rally would have been around $8000 all said and done. Spending another $1000 to get the 450 was a no-brainer.
The 450 is a terrible highway/distance dual sport. That is where my Super Sherpa comes in handy. It'll cruise 65 all day and gets 70 mpg. I have a little windscreen and a tank bag so I can take it on longer rides. I think it might be one of the best motorcycle purchases I have made. I paid $350 for it and spent another $700-800 getting it registered, legal, and sound for the road. It is slowly becoming my mini adventure bike.
Had a KLR650 riding friend who had a sherpa as well and he swore by it, so it must be a good bike.
