What did you used to ride? What are you riding now? Which one did you love the most? What’s laying in a torn apart pile in your garage? Any stories behind them?
My first squidbike. Rode this thing EVERYWHERE, but then I busted the 2nd/6th gear dogs. Successfully replaced them, but it leaked oil from then on from splitting the cases.

My second less squiddy bike; I really loved the SV. Great handler after the RT prog springs and Penske rear shock were put on.

Number 3. I could never get the hang of riding this correctly. It wanted to go very fast and I didn’t.

Number 3.5 (basketcase). Rode it, like, twice. Intended to restore it, but ended up giving it away for free. It was super dangerous to ride (i.e. brakes? what are brakes?).

Current (old man bike):



Agree about large dual sports. I’ve been eyeballin’ the Honda XR150L pretty hard as of late. Someone nearby also had a 2019 G310GS for sale for below $4k which got my wallet quivering a little.
Road-going two-strokes like your TS are rare to see anymore. The last two-stroke I touched was a YSR50.
