I love this bike. It's brutal, uncommon (in street form), and reliable.

I just feel bad it's not being used to it's Baja-destroying potential. Also the kickstart is kinda lame for commuting. I've also fallen in love with what could be it's polar opposite: the TW200.

Basically, it's a 1994 Honda XR600R, and it's got the HRC628 kit in it. It's street legal, everything works. Someone stole my Trailtech, so it's got a bike computer for a speedo, but that works really well. Oh and it's got a lowering link. What?! It was a tall-ass bike!

I'm in no hurry to sell, but I just had a few Friday post-work beers and figured why not? I'll put in a teaser picture, if there's more interest I'll take more.

If you have a disk-brake Turkey Whistle, or maybe a DR350, or basically any bike, let's talk trades.

Oh and the bike is located in a quaint suburb of Omaha, Nebraska.

If you had posted this before I drove through omaha last week, it likely would have come home with me. My wife thanks you.

Come get it! It could make it back to Chicago (it'd be a trip for the ages, though).

I don't even want to imagine the soreness that would entail.

I'm currently not trying very hard to sell my '04 CRF250R. I should probably get on that before winter..

Trade for a '97 TL1000-S streetfighter? I need me an aircooled carbed single in a bad way.

Unfortunately if Nebraska is flat and useless for the SV650 that I own, I can't imagine what a TL1000 would do here.

The price is OBO, how much of a bad way do you want it?

Funny. I was thinking along the lines of a bike like this on Sunday. I have no money but do have a kawasaki EX500 I could trade. It's an 89 and I don't have a title.

We'll talk if I get my TL sold in time. No wiggle room in the Fun account right now to buy without selling something first.

Rode it instead of the SV to work today. I love this bike, it's just not for me right now. I've taken MORE PICTURES.

Aftermarket pillion pegs, nice fresh brake fluid, and that funny starter button.

Battle bridge. Yes, I know they're two different distances, the Sigma is tracking distance from last oil change, the stock tripometer distance from last fillup.

Probably the biggest defect: high-beam switch is broken. I solve this problem by either being a BAMF and switching it with a pocketknife, or being a Bob Costas and not riding at night.

Yeah, it's a 17 year old dirtbike. You were expecting what?

Oh noes, now you know my tag number!

I'll make a package deal with the 'Cruiser too, for all your zombie survival needs, but it won't be cheap.

Took the "long way" back from work today, hit some farm roads. Oh and note how nice the MT21s are...

If you look at this picture and a picture of the throttle at the same time, your mouse shoots away leaving a big roostertail.

Yeah it's scratched, who cares, throw an FMF on there once you buy it from me.

Make me an offer so I don't cave in and farkle the hell out of it this winter.

This is actually the most comfortable bike seat I've owned. I don't know if something was done with the seat, but it's a beautiful thing.

That's the perfect Florida bike! Trade you a semi-assembled 87 VFR700F2 with a 750 motor, CBR600F2 fork (w/new 1KG springs) & front wheel, CBR600F3 rear wheel and a zero-mile, no-longer-available $750 Penske shock. Engine is loosely installed. Suspension/wheels are firmly installed... Bodywork is not installed...

If I had any money, I'd make you a more attractive offer....
