I've been looking for a few years to add a smaller enduro bike to my garage. Oddly enough, this past weekend, much to my wife's chagrin, just such a bike followed me home.
Boy is she pissed but I'll save that story for a future post.
I bought a left over CB500X from a local shop. I know, I know the CBX is not an enduro bike. Like I said I've been looking for a few years.
I've ordered all the parts to do this to it:

Wait till she sees that bill!
Anyways,
Road the "Little Bit" all weekend, got her broken in per the owners manual and on Sunday was able to open her up on Hwy 178 and Hwy 215. What an absolute HOOT!
I can't get the grin off my face thinking about it. All this from a bike that has less horsepower than my SCAG.
It's been 30 years since I've ridden a little bike and I'm in love.
