That's too cheap! 

I'd jump, but who can really ride two KLR's at once...

[loingrader]

this is an awesome klr. 

i'm like dustin, if i didn't have one i'd already have this one in my garage asap!

[plumber mike]

Why must you keep tormenting me? I have been very firmly told that the next thing I bring home with a motor had better be large enough to live in. So I guess I'd better get an RV before I get a KLR.

[loingrader]

as much as it hurts to thin the heard mike, have you considered that? 

or here's another angle.  buy the klr for the rough stuff and think of all the money you would save on repairs to your bmw!  its the responsible thing to do.

[Hank]

Chris (brother in law) is wanting a sport tourer of some kind (Blackbird likely), so thats the reason for the potential sale.   I keep telling him he needs both, and he should keep this fine KLR, but he won't listen to reason.

[loingrader]

both would be the obvious choice, but if this allows someone to utilize that fine klr you built, then it's a win win (cause i know he'll love the xx)

[plumber mike]

Most every time I get rid of something I regret it, and wind up spending double to replace it. I will only add to the fleet rather than sell. I think he will miss this bike and $2300 will not get a decent sport touring bike.

This KLR, a Transalp on ADV and the NEED for a Ural have my emotions pulled every direction. Lucky for me my wife keeps me well grounded . With a soon to be 3 year old and what looks to be another on the way my next bike might be a PW50 

I'll let the locals know of this nice bike at this sweet price.

So, Camp 5 turned him off of the off-road??  Did he ever get his tennis elbow healed up?  Was that a factor in his decision to stay on the slab?  I had the elbow thing real bad for about 6-8 months, but finally cleared it up with some home therapy...if Chris needs some advice, I'll surely share my method. 

[Hank]

I think the tennis elbow thing is better.   

I don't think anything "turned him off", in fact I think he had a blast, but I guess a big street bike is just more interesting to him.

[loingrader]

i truly love dual sporting, and KLR's (especially this one) are awesome. 

but, there is a LOT to be said for all the beautiful country you can see in a short amount of time, on a well appointed sport tourer. 

bump for a nice KLR650.

SOLD to our very own allniterider!

[fringefan]

Excellent. Tried to start mine this morning and no go, so I have this guy that lives accross the street and even though it is half the bike I rhode his BMW to work.

[Hank]

Jim (allniterider) picked up the bike this morning and hauled it home to Wiscony.

Great guy and a real rider (48 states / 10K miles in 10 days on his ST!).   He plans to ride the KLR to Alaska w/ a buddy, and I think that's a fitting journey for the bike.  I'm a bit jealous!   Had I the room and use for another bike I'd have bought this one back.  I was sad to see it go in a way.  I think I had a little emotional attachment to it as it was my first bike when I got back into riding and I put a lot of work into it.  Maybe that's a little weird as I haven't even owned it for two years.   

[Hank]

Oh and when Jim showed up to get the bike in a Camry (I think?) I had to scratch my head a bit..

Then he pulled one of these out of his back seat!!

Very cool.
