Your Last Bike Before the CB?

[Doug_imp]

Do dirt bikes count? Haven't seen one on here yet so here is my former beast. '97 CR500 had it back late 90's early 2000's. Sold it before I killed(or worse)myself on it, thought about getting much more tame like an XR600. Just figured anything less would be a letdown. Some will say you don't need that much power for trail riding, but when you get over 10,000 ft. smaller bikes will literally quit on you but never had that happen on my CR. Fast forward a dozen or so yrs. I'm sitting here playing on my puter and found out Honda was making a basic motorcycle that you sit upright on and minus a couple hundred lbs. of plastic. I decided right there I am getting a bike. So glad I did.
