If money and space would allow, a small dual sport would be nice to play with. My dirt days are over, don't bounce like I used to. But there are some "B" grade roads around here that would be fun... KTM, KLR, maybe WRF...

I looked into getting a Z125 Auto transmission. But you can not get them in North America. I called Mama Kaw. Even asked how much to get one here, they were not interested in helping me.

Did not know Kaw made a auto Trans any place but if they did make one here in USA I think the Versys X-300 would be nice for Tar and Gravel roads if it had Auto Trans and Tubeless tires. Like the me3 part of your post.

Garage currently houses the ‘13 Vaq, an ‘87 SuperMagna, ‘90 Suzuki VX800, and the wife’s ‘09 shadow spirit. Trying to sell the Super- thought I would ride it more for short scoots around town, turns out it’s just as easy to hop on the bagger. Plus I’m gonna either end up dead or in jail riding it (the Super) like a dirt bike on asphalt. That bike is a blast. Picked up the VX for a screamin deal for the step-son. Great little wheelie bike, but not big on horsepower. We compromised on the VX, as he wanted a rocket. Not bad for a first bike- disc brakes front and rear, shaft drive, liquid cooled, and gets great gas mileage.

I have the wife's 2003 Honda Shadow 750 Deluxe in the garage. Which I actually ride when I just want to zip around on a smaller bike. I bought it for her to learn to ride but that is on the back burner for now.

I also have a 2001 Shadow Spirit 750.
Don't know how long I will hold on to it though.
Insurance is a killer even for the smaller bike.
