Full blown woods dirt bike with blinkers, headlight, taillight, mirror, and DOT tires. This is for to commute on. Or so I have told Meghann 
. I have had a 1989 Vulcan 750 to commute on for about 2 years. To be honest I just never gelled with this style of bike. In secret I have been dreaming about a dual sport bike for some time. The problem was that I had come to expect the quality of a KTM and most Jap dual sport bikes just lacked the finish and power. But I figured most KTM dual sports would be out of my price range. Meghann and I talked and with all the extra work I have been doing on the side we figured to just splurge. Hopefully the increased zeal to commute on the bike and its 50 mpg will also help to offset the initial cost. But in the end its just money and I was saving a lot for just something like this.
On the way home from picking up the bike Wyatt just had to wear my helmet. He rode the entire 40 minute drive home like this.

Nice man. Hey Kel is wanting 2100 obo, and he’s willing to deal. Its the 2009 sx trail 2 i think, its the lower end on that retailed for 3700, and he rode it maybe 10 times before he broke his wrist. he put a single ring gamut guide and boobars on it too.

Wow for a guy that puts on such a minimalist front you sure have a lot of cool stuff.
The girl’s said your bike looked “scary” as you went down the driveway. Told them you’d like hearing that.

I pick and choose what I want to be minimalistic on. That way I can afford what I really want. I have had the same vehicle for 10 years. Which is pretty cool. I hope to have it for ten more years. But in the mean time, I bought a toy.
