Im gettin a motard!

So Ive wanted one of these for a bit, except Ive never had the money :( So I started researching the latest Chinese bikes that are coming out. Contrary to belief, they are actually making some pretty decent bikes now. That being said, I also understand that Im not getting a $5k + KTM, APRILIA, or even SUZUKI, ETC. But thats okay, Im not planning on breaking any world records, or jumping cars etc. Mostly as a commuter, only one that is still off-road capable, can wheelie, and also gets 70mpg. So I ordered up a sub $2k Motard that I cant wait to get here. I plan on doing a ful video review with pics and the whole shabang. Here are some pics of the model Im getting. Its a 200cc air cooled 4 stroke. Looks pretty sick too.

And here it is in Black, I wish i could have gotten my hands on that Black and Gold, but all well. Next time ;)

Edits from my roadtrip to Colorado!!!

This is from the first day, we got up early and did a power hour at Seattle's Duthie Hill
