When I was doing the deal for my CB1100 I couldn't help but notice how far dirt bikes have come since I bought my SL's back in the 70's.
And, a few weeks after I brought my CB1100 home I noticed I hadn't ridden my 40 year old CB750 once. I think it was just too similiar to the 11 and of course it doesn't have the great brakes, or fuel injection. I knew there was a pretty high demand for a nice old 750 like it, so I took it in for a trade and came out with a new CRF250L. As nice as the 1100 is, the 250 is just as nice in it's own way. Compared to my old SL's it floats over rough terrain and it has fuel injection and nice informative instruments. It is really fun to ride two such completely different bikes. Each wonderful in it's own way. Here is a picture of the CRF250L up in the mountains near my house.

And here is a link to the kind dealer's ad who took the 750 off my hands and let me ride off on the 250.
