I had three motorcycles here in Puyallup, Wa. A 2007 Yamaha XT225 dual sport; a 2007 Royal Enfield 500 Bullet; and a 2006 HD XL883 Sportster. We'll be moving to the Big Island in a while, so I'm trying to get rid of stuff. I saw an add on craigslist where someone was looking for an xt225. I didn't want to sell that one, but knew I had to reduce the fleet, so I answered the add, and of course they bought it.I have the Enfield on consignment. I actually bought a new leftover 2009 Kymco People 150 scooter from Kiser Motorcycles in Kona, to be delivered to me in Feb. when we're there.My wife has a SYM HD200 scooter which we are going to bring over.So, if my Enfield sells I then have to decide whether to ship the Sportster.I'd like a dual sporty also eventually.The good thing about that XT225 is that they have six speeds, which really help the smaller engines a bunch over a five speed(like the DR200 has).
I have a friend over there that is reminding me that I need a dual sport when I move. I may leave it here on consignment at the HD dealership I work at, and the pick up maybe a Suzuki DRZ400S or DR650 at the dealer in Hilo.
Since we are going to be lucky enough to make the Big Island our home, I feel that contributing to the economy there by buying locally (like the Kymco form Kiser and maybe a Suzuki from the dealer in Hilo)is a good thing to do.
I've only been riding for 50 years so far--just getting started.
