Really gotta get back on two wheels.

Or, even better, the KPM200. It's still a somewhat small bike, but 6 speeds, efi, water cooled, and awesome styling too. I know a few guys on the Chnariders forum and facebook that have one and they love them. Still less than $3k too

That looks like a winner. Lifan has a great reputation, been making bikes for decades. The scary part is how big it is. I sat on a Suzuki TU 250, honda 300 rebel and instantly felt it was too cramped. Loved the bike's looks and specs. Once you buy one of these Chinese bikes there's no returning it. 3.4 gal tank, 17hp, FI and it looks great. Scary to find out it's the wrong size if ordered. I know the Hawk and the TT250 would be the right size from reviews of people 6ft fitting on them. LOL, I say that. People on ADV forums said the XT250 was good for 6ft2 or better, I'm 6ft . It is ok for short rides but after an hour or so it cramped up my legs. My knees were just a bit higher then 90deg, short peg to seat height. I don't want to do that again. They sold pegs only adding about 3/4 of an inch to the height, not enough. Taller seat would just squish down over time I'm sure. Just needed a better fitting bike. KLX230 is a tall bike, it fits though perfectly for my size, arms, legs.

I do really like the grom, but I think one would be impractical for me. I'm gonna finish my trail 90 first, and possibly get something to mess around with after.
