I just got back into dirt riding, after a 25 year hiatus.
I have 2 Yamaha Banshee atv's, but I was never able to ride with my dirt bike buds on some of the single track trails.
The Banshees really don't do well in the woods anyways.

So I bought a Kawasaki KLX300R for a great price from a buddy that got a new WR450R.
Great bike, but wanted a street legal dual sport for riding on some of the gravel roads near me, that lead to the fun trails.

I found a good deal on a Suzuki DR Z400S. What a nice, stable bike off road.
Here are a few pics from riding near my home, on the minimum maintenance roads, and trails. Took it easy, as it's been a long time...

Man, some sick MX bikes in here! I may have to go find a shot of mine to post up.
Went up to my dealer to see about the new 500 and seen they had a 450 set up with one of their track kits... Makes me wish I never sold my 450 lol

2002 Australian 4 Day Enduro,
Start of a grueling event.



And after 4 days and doing the final Motorcross stage I was spent,
but finished pretty high nationally in my special tests and completed the event.

The little TTR was still thumping along and could have done another 4 days.

^Absolutely ball tearing bikes Torchsport,
You might need a change of underwear but it will keep you fit!
Not as brutal as others of the era but lightning fast but precision handling.

I used to practice on the wide ratio version.
Getting back on my 4 stroke enduro WR and TTR was like a soft lounge chair in comparison.

Its also a future classic, they will never make such bikes again and always popular with the freestyle crowd.

... Do a backflip :D

OK, but I'll have to go back about 30 years or so........

Not my photo, just took it from somewhere on the inter web.

That's a clean XR250R... looks like a 1994?

Honda XR's are becoming few and far between, especially a nice, original one like yours.

My '01 XR400R...
