05' KLR 650 bitter sweet
« on: March 22, 2017, 08:42:16 PM »
I will be putting together an add to sell my KLR  :'(  I love Nelle and have her pretty much back to stock brand new. Have 1500 miles on her in less than a year. the ONLY reason is, I also have a new project, (1987 Toyota 4x4) and I have come to the conclusion that I want something a bit smaller and more aggressive that I can get a bit more technical on and that fits my small stature. I WILL still have a dual sport bike but looking for maybe older 250 under 1.5k. I am and have always been a big Kawi fan so, still have never mounted a better bike for me than the KDX 200.
I have over 1500 miles on Nelle trouble free, but she weighs 4 times as much as I do and I think I would be happier on one only weighing twice as much as me and I can get the front wheel off the ground when I twiist the handle ;)

I still think this is the best all around adventure, entry level bike around. It does nothing great, but every thing well.

If anyone knows of a brother or sister looking to get into this realm, it is a great place to start if not finish.....

I started going over what all I have done on this bike, looking a receipts, pictures and what I would want to put in an add...figured it would turn into a 12 page listing trying to say what I have to say about it so, I am going to keep her and grow old together    ;D

what is it about the sound of a KLR starting up that makes me smile just a little bit.
