<< it has nowhere near the power or carrying capacity of my klr, but since it weighs 100 lbs less, i can cut it some slack >> A lot of us are looking for a street-legal ride the size of the XT225 with the power of the KLR650. When I was a kid there was a guy at the local Triumph shop in Baltimore (Boutwell's, 229 S. Broadway) who had shoehorned a T100 twin into a Cub frame. Aside from the stock Cub brakes being woefully lame, the little bugger weighed about 250 lbs, I could get my feet flat on the ground with my ass an inch or two off the seat, and if it didn't have the clearance to hop over a log, well, I could carry it on my shoulders. It was street legal and the brakes would be easy to fix. Pete the Streak of white in his hair
