What bike do I buy?


Suggestions on best bikes for cruising roads and trails in baja, I want a bike that'll ride nice on asphalt and dirt trails to explore the peninsula.
thanks

If it's more asphalt than dirt, consider an XR650L. Here is a good webpage on this bike. http://www.dirtrodders.com/xr650l/

Thanks for the feedback!


I'll look and see if I can find a used one in good shape, if not I'll buy a new one.
Thanks again!

You also may want to consider an electric start, especially on the bigger bikes.
