G'day from sunny Darwin, Australia

Hi all, my name is Kent, have had XR's all my life and would not consider anything else due to their proven reliability and performance.

Had to sell my last one (97 XR600R) to help fund the building of my house, now thats all been done i'm searching high and low for its replacement- XR650R.

I like to tour and explore both on road and offroad, not into MX'ing or any of that jumping stuff, hurts too much and i hate falling off...

The site looks to have a healthy number of members and input from all parts of the world and its good to see a forum dedicated soley to the one machine.

Glad to be here.

It shows i have an 06 model bike, i had to put something in the box when i registered to use the forum hence the 2006 model in my user panel...

Hello From the U.S. good to hear Im not the only one that doesnt have a Pig yet. I am also looking for one but they arent that easy to find here in the south eastern states. I just hope I can handle the BRP as Im not a big bloke, 5'9". Good Luck.
