That's just up the road about 45 min from me.....pretty close to MILK actually

Yup.

I've got a friend who has one on its second engine . . . with less than 5,000 miles on it.

The BMW 650x on the other hand is a decent bike.

One of these might work, too, though I'd rather have the Challenge:

2009 BMW G 650 xcountry - $5400 (Duncan,OK)

I think that is the most out of proportion can-to-bike ratio I've ever seen, though. Low front fender might not fare well, either.

Shame about the Aprilia. I've found several now with very low miles at very low prices. I suppose it has developed a reputation...

The G650X may be more appropriate than the Yamaha for the type of riding I'll be doing; probably better on the road and capable of more in the dirt than I am. Costs a lot more, though. I'll take whichever of two I can find for the best [relative] price.

Very sad, because they LOOK so bad-ass

Prices on WR's are skyrocketing and G650X's are nowhere to be found. Seriously kicking myself for not buying one of those $3000-$3200 WR's I found over the fall and winter...

This might not be a bad investment:

Kawasaki KLR 650* 2009 - $3200 (ooltewah)

Says he's firm on his price, but for $3K this would make a decent fixer-upper. It'd leave me some money for upgrades and maybe I could strip off some of the bad plastic in favor of a conventional headlight arrangement.
