I decided to go with the WR250R. Found a sweet "end-of-model-year" deal on a 2019, picking it up next weekend. Will report back......
Bike to compliment a S10?

It's a fun bike. Try to curb your inner hooligan.... a little.
GREAT woods bike for where you are!

I've enquired on a TW200 that looks good, except for what the seller claimed to be a fried CDI box. I'm offering $500.

Hayburners make motorcycles look cheap to keep running.

I used to race a breathed on RZ350. For what that thing cost to feed and keep well, I could have had a barnfull of Clydesdales... :-(

Yamaha XT600E with serious dirt tires and a Honda Grom!
Adventure riding, dirt and just for kicks! All angles of motorcycle riding covered!?!

Brought little brother home today...this thing feels like a bicycle compared to the S10.
Let the farkling begin!

You need to rig up a carry system so the S10 can tote it around for you!

Sadly that orange Husqvarna in the bottom right of this photo is going to see more use than the two-wheeled boys over the course of the next 6 months.

It's my plan to get a Vespa GTS300 this Spring. Transitioning from one bike to the other will be fun.

Looks like things are narrowing down to a DRZ400s. Mostly due to availability. WR250s are as scarce as can be, and expensive a.f.
I was out looking at new ones (just kicking tires), and while they might be heavy on paper, they are still about 300lbs lighter than my decked out S10. 6 inches of snow in the forecast this week, so I still have lots of time to shop...

I have one....actually my wife does, I'm over the weight limit. It's a 75mph, 70mpg, easy to ride, mountain goat. The OE tires let it go up wet grass hills sideways. And since they haven't changes them at all....ever, except for color....you can find them cheap. Mine is an '01, 1,400 miles, perfect condition, for $1,400.00

I enjoyed a surprisingly good long weekend on a rented Royal Enfield Himalayan back in July. Not a lot of power, and some will say a bit heavy, but sturdy as a tank. And it generates a lot of questions at the roadside vista points. Four months later, I'm still considering it for my ST back-up. (Caveat: We do have a R.E dealer close by. Most folks probably do not.)

Little Brother got 25 miles in today before going up for a winter nap (they salted the roads last night....grrrrr).
I think the WR is going to compliment the S10 nicely.

As much as I'd like a WR, the prices here on the used market are nuts. Eight to ten year old bikes are posted with asking prices within a couple of hundred bucks of brand new KLX250's.
