yeah, i do, they rule, buy one!
i can stoppie, wheelie, jump....and abuse it, and its fine.
i ran it in on a highway oing full throttle, which was followed by a blast around a farm, its been revved to its limit, pushed to 120kph, crashed over 20x, and with 9000km on it, its still fine.
tough bike, much like a toyota hilux.
much resect.:done:

If you had a good read through that link T/Alper sent you'll see there was a lot of reservations about the NXR - its very limited as a trail bike if you want to do anything really adventuresome as the suspension is basic to say the least and the motor is rather docile, it struggles to hold the speed limit which is just plain bloody dangerous on the open road, and if even if you're a new rider or one who's returning after a few years off bikes you will get bored with it very quickly.
Better to spend the money on a good second hand 250 like the XT imo.

yes and no mate, i sold my KLR and got one of these, they are light, well balanced and cheap.
my one will sit on 90-100kph, and with a change in gearing and tires they work well on the dirt.
im not bored with it yet, i have put some 15w oil in the forks and its much better now!
at 3500 new, its a bargin, and its a honda.
28 km/lt, dual purpose, reliable as hell, with a drum good enough to stoppie, i dont see what the problem is?
my one has been ridden from auckland to hamilton, andittedly not the best bike, but it will do it.
the engine is quite peaky and revvy, and the bike is tough if your learning.
thats why its a good bike!
