You must be getting near a year of catching up to your CB1100

Heck, I would have offered you space in my garage for the INT. I would even offered to "wheel" it over here and back.
Did you mention selling your W800? Sounds like you must be jonesing for another orange Interceptor.
I'm a little conflicted about selling it, but I might have a buyer. I had so much fun this summer and fall riding non-paved surfaces on my DR650. I explored single and dual track roads that I never would have attempted on my KLR650. Even so, the DR650 is a fairly heavy bike for single track (366 lbs stock, probably 390 with skid plate, side rack and tire changing tools). I finally broke down and bought new springs and dampeners for the front and Cogent shock for the rear. I still need to install them. I'm told it will make a world of difference...we'll see. I can't wait to try it. But the weight is the weight. I've never minded the weight of the CB1100; in fact, I like it for hiway travel. But for the first time since I started riding, I "get" the weight issue for single track riding.
So...I thought I'd try out a Kawasaki KLX300. The CB1100 isn't going anywhere; nor is the DR. But the W800...it has a certain redundancy with the CB. I absolutely love the W and know I'm going to miss it, but I'm still in a "I want to try out different bikes and types of riding" mode. And unlike some people, I don't have room for another bike, 3 is the max here. Besides I still have the XR190 in Costa Rica that I bought last year, so actually I do have 4 bikes. Eventually, I'd like two dirt-worthy bikes in CR (big street bikes are useless there in my opinion), the CB1100 and either the DR or the KLX here in the Sates. We shall see. Retirement looms in the near distance.
And maybe this does too
