Here's mine

Hey, it's made by a bike manufacturer, I bought it from a bike shop, it has bike handlebars etc, it just happens to have a couple of extra "training" wheels

Mods - Waltex box on front carrier, mesh headlight protector, and since those pics were taken I've made and fitted a gun rack to the handle bars

It's a different kind of adventure riding, but still great fun in it's own way

With scenery like that it doesn't matter what you ride...
Stunning part of the country...
All the best for 2009

For gravel and back roads this is all I need.Not much good on a muddy track...but for gravel and keeping bum in the saddle time it's a shit load better than a dirt bike.

My adventure bike, up back country Reefton, sure not afraid to get a little dirty. Even took in a mini stream crossing...

heres my xr650r after 3 nights away doing the moleswoth, rainbow and Maungatapu

has a 16 L tank added but i think i may need a larger one. added a keyed ignition, zeta alloy bar guards and plastics, and a small luggage rack so im not tempted to overload the rear sub frame. also added a small fuel vent pipe that fell off on the rainbow so back the longer fuel tube

next on the list to get is a front fender bag so i dont have to carry a tube etc in my backpack , set of bar risers to make standing on the pegs easier and and maybe an alloy bash plate - not too sure on the plasitc one it has

Do you really want a kick start and plank for a seat

Can't be any worse than my "kick only at the moment" XT.But I like my soft seat though

They do do an electric start kit for the XR650R.
