XR800

A month or so ago I posted a picture of my new XS800 that I’d been looking for forever. Now I found an XR800 in my size and orange!

Wow, that bike looks like new. The orange is my favorite XR/XS color. I had an orange 56 XR for a number of years but let it go because it was too small.

It definitely does, but I’m going to ride it! I was fortunate to find an XS800 a few months ago with full Ultegra that was literally never ridden and stored inside. That one is too nice to ride (for now) and at this point is hanging on the wall in my office.

I found a 2000 XR800 in like new condition a few years ago in Indianapolis. I think I've ridden it twice.

That’s always a tough choice - ride and enjoy or hang it on the wall and enjoy Maybe keep looking for another one that’s not as mint.
