The first bike i did not buy,,,,

[mexican]

Some time ago we were talking about riding Moab Utah on 2 wheels. I remember @1olbull saying that a Yamaha XT250 was the prefect weapon for that task.
We have a vacation scheduled in Moab the first week of june, i commented to my son about what Bull told me and it would be nice to have an XT.
Conversation was forgotten, or so i thought.
2 months later, (yesterday),my son shows up with a 2020 beautiful little XT and says, here you go, this is yours to roam around Moab!... One owner bike with next to no miles, he said he paid $3500 for it.
Just my size!!!
Over the last 30 years i bought my son several toys, looks like the investment paid off

Great parenting has resulted in a fine young man who knows values. Congratulations.

Loopy,
I sure liked mine in Moab.
1) Be sure and ride up the Schafer Trail. Not difficult at all and VERY scenic!

The Shafer Trail in Moab: A Complete Trail Guide for 2025 - CS Ginger Travel

A complete guide to driving the Shafer Trail in Moab with tips for avoiding the crowds, combining with the White Rim Road, and more.

2) Do NOT try the Hells Revenge, I got a third into it and was nearly stormed over a cliff.
Do rent a 4x4 jeep ride over Hells Revenge. I recommend Dan Mick - he is great fun, safe, and has the best equipment. Jeep Tours | Moab, UT | Dan Mick’s Moab Jeep Tours
If ya need another XT 250, come borrow my 2018 fuel injected under 300 miles.

If you were 2000 miles closer,,,, No way we will be anywhere near Hells Revenge, Shafer's trail for sure.
Will be taking a brand new Can Am Commander xtp max 4 seater, 4 dirt bikes and my f350 on 38s
