Mitzie and I headed over to Pioneer Honda Saturday mostly for the "Free Hot Dogs"...somewhere along the way, Mitzie inherited my Honda PCX125 Scooter and Hers got used for "Motard Leverage" on a Brand New 2009 CRF230M Motard, Yep, it's Low on Horsepower, but Really Big on FUN...93MPG, Sticky 17" Tires, Overkill Brakes...we rode All Day on Sunday...Here are a few Pics.....

Without a doubt, you sir, have motorcycle ADHD.

I've met people who do not change their underwear as often as you change motorcycles.

Congratulations, I believe I would have a 400cc version for myself to address the power concerns.

Those are such fun little bikes! We had one in the year long demo program and I rode it every chance I got. Not a ton of power but you never have to slow down so it sort of makes up for it. Throw an FMF, a jet kit, a fender eliminator the cool little achabis supermoto front fender on there and it really cleans up!

Sweet. I've been keeping an eye out on that bike for a bit. No power, but not the point. If only they were a bit cheaper.

The 230M came out right after I bought my 230F. . . giving up a 450R (it made more sense for trail riding with my kids).  My 230 is fun for trail riding but as soon as the 230M came out I asked myself, "Why didn't they motard the 450R?!"  Now THAT would be a motard!

I can still see the attraction to riding the 230 on the street though.  I just think Honda undercut themselves because the 450R is a BAD MOFO!

......... :biggrin: .......This is turning into a Really Fun Twisties Bike, and a Great Commuter...if You're into "HORSEPOWER", this ain't it, but if You're into Really Cheap FUN, this really qualifies..... :fing02:
