How about the old Honda TransAlp? I see them for sale somewhat frequently around here for $3500 and less. The twin engine is kind of interesting. Are they decent off-road with knobby tires?

That's a nice looking bike! And the price isn't bad either.

I'd say the only thing I don't enjoy on the DR is high speed pavement. It'll do 70+mph for extended periods, but it's not a lot of fun. Six hours in the saddle gets a little uncomfortable, but I...

Fear the mini-van driving soccer mom. Typically running late, and on the verge of going completely postal, they are the most unpredictable and dangerous of the drivers you will encounter.
