I recently purchased a 2007 TE 610. I´m 46 and have had a Yamaha 360 enduro, Suzuki RM125 and Honda CRF230 and currently have an Honda XL 650.My TE is My favorite to this day. It seems to combine all the other bikes into one. More Power than the 650, still lightweight for its size, and handles like my Honda CRF on trails. When you take it out on the road you acclerate and reach 70 still have another gear to shift into. You will definately stand out to because I have yet to meet another like it on Road or trail. Only issue is service. Might have to travel a ways to find a dealer. My dealer will ship parts straight to my door.
