    Looks like fun, although a 450 might have been more funner. Love the cash infusion at the end. Classic.:clap

    YIKES! That thing must get close to single digit MPGs once it is loaded up. :)

    No worse than my Nissan Titan, it gets 12 unloaded. I've never loaded it and towed a camper but I bet that would be in the single digits.

    I always say the only thing that stops a XR650 is lack of gas,so buy a big tank and hang on!

    Hence the reason I love my 20 year old Powerstroke F350...

    350 hp, 700 lb/ft, and I still get 15 city 19 highway (Personal best was southbound on I-5 through Cali, just over 21 mpg)

    Oh, and with my upgraded rear tank I have almost 60 gallon fuel capacity.

    So if your like me and just mostly carry bikes. I picked up a f150 eco boost this year and I am getting about 17.5 loaded two people, two big bikes and gear. Empty highway i normally get 21-22 mpg. It's got decent power to.

    My wife would kill me if I spent that much money on a truck... I only paid $5k for my '95 F350 with 165k miles on it.

    Hopefully the profit will cover the cost of a knee surgery from trying to make those bastards start.
