Here's where I am, guys: The Scrambler has an off-idle bog. The black/red bike has some mid-band lean issues. And the damned Triumph is surging at cruising speed. I'm about sick of all three at the moment.

I've been thinking of a conversation I had with Ed a few weeks back, about his little DR350 putting him back into a place of enjoying motorcycles. The discussion revolved around the simplicity and the enjoyment that got us into motorcycles in the first place.

I am a UJM kind of guy; not big on plastic fairings and flash. I'm also relatively light at 148 pounds (5'11).

I am giving serious thought to buying a Suzuki TU250 and selling off some of my current stock. What are your thoughts on this notion? It's light, fuel injected and I like the styling. It's also slow. I like that too as I hate, absolutely hate cruising along on a motorbike on a long stretch of straight road at 75mph. Having a reason to tool along country roads at 55 sounds great to me.
