Project Description

First I found love, then love helped me find the “beginner” bike I plan to ride til I croak. My boyfriend, Justin, and I planned a motorcycle adventure through Mexico, nay, the world, and needed matching dual-sports small enough for me, yet big enough for him to tolerate. So we ride a pair of Yamaha XT225s. Today’s big adventure bikes, though well equipped and amazingly capable, are unnecessarily tall and heavy for my five-feet, two-inch (er, OK, five-feet, one-inch) frame. Even on the tip of my toes, sitting atop my small-displacement dual-sport, I feel capable and in control, as I should.
