Welcome to the forum & congratulations on your XR. When I got my XR last February (I live in Southern California), I didn't see many around, however, as the months passed I saw more and more. On my ride last Saturday, I saw three of them. Also, it's not unusual when I'm stopped at a motorcycle hangout/ getting gas, that someone will me ask me how do you like it? how are those handlebar vibes? etc. etc. Many of these riders have GS's, RT's, K's, with some considering KTM's and Duc's. Anyway, IMO - just saying, I think popularity & sales for the XR will greatly increase in 2018, if nothing less, as times moves on it could develope a good cult following?
