Bought this bike used in '01, only 67 miles! The nubs were still on the tires. Used to competitively ride 2 stroke bikes in Enduro's, and had some smaller street Hondas long ago. Wanted a light weight, totally street legal dual sport with excellent brakes. And one that my teenage kids could learn to ride on. The SS delivers on all these counts. The Suzy DR400S was just too tall for my daughter. I only can complain about SS's slow warm up, and it's a bit small for my 6 foot size, when you stand on the pegs for off roading, I gotta hunch down a bit. Power level is good for a 4 stroke, you can force it to run 70 mph expressway speeds, but it really likes casual back roading, dirt or asphalt. Seat is good for 2 hours solo. Brakes are strong, wet or dry. Not enough suspension travel or dampening for agressive off roading, but good for "touring type off roading". And as a divorcee, I'm pleased to say you can ride real cozy with a date snuggled right in. In 3 years, I've washed it, changed the oil, lubed the chain, and replaced the battery once. Too bad Kawasaki stopped importing them to the US.

This bike is one of the best dual-sports, and surely the best in its class (250cc). Goes anywhere, even on some real tough mountain trails. It is nimble, quiet, smooth, has great fuel mileage (I got even 85mpg), comfortable for all-day riding (I could bet it has the most comfortable stock seat of all dual sports). Though it's a tough dual sport, it has a nice digital speedo with huge digits, clock, odometer, and two trip odometers. It's just a tad bit small for me and I wish the bars were a bit higher, but then not everybody is the same. I still think it's very comfortable. I pushed it to 84mph once, but it tends to run out of power around 60mph or so, but that's in my high-altitude area. If you want a bike that will take you anywhere, great in the city and on trails and even slower highways, get this one if you can find one. They're great!
