Well here's my 2002 XT225 the day I brought her home. Obviously not the greatest pictures, but you get the idea. In the background you can see my RM125 2 stroke and my FZR600 (soon to be retired.) I'm doing what I can to make the move over to dual sporting and dirt only.

I love this bike, it is such a blast to ride. This bike is not about super high speed, or huge travel suspension for flying off of jumps; but at 194lb, it is a sweet little trail bike and at roughly 80mpg, I won't mind commuting on her. The previous owner added some padding to the seat, but otherwise left the bike stock. I've got some changes in mind already, some more off road oriented tires and a rear rack and some handguards to round out the package.
