He's having a good time! The venerable KLR 650. Mostly unchanged since 1987. Poor ol girls only make 30 hp. But bulletproof! Military used them with a single cyl diesel (Hayes powered)!!!

The 650 KLR is what I would have to ride again for the forest roads around where I live if I thought my old body would bounce back from the spills that come with back county riding. They are speedy and plenty of power for freeways, You get bringer gas tansk for them too so plenty of time in the backwoods.
@805ROADKING10 жыл бұрын
You may bounce back a little but it takes a whole lot longer!!☺

I know that bike well, I had a green one. It's torquey, but maxes out at about 85mph, not a super comfortable highway cruiser, and first gear is pretty high for the woods. Plus I'm not even 5'9" so the inseam was killer on that bike. This bike is really best suited to someone 6' plus. Its almost the same bike the marines use though, about all they really do to it is change the engine out to a diesel. I would probably be the one person looking to the 250 version. B-)

805ROADKING Yup, I had it for two years, and traded it in. I did the lowering kit on it, and that didn't help nearly as much as I expected it would. I even lowered the front end, as you can slide the entire assembly down a couple of inches. While I had it parked once, it fell over in the grass (entirely my fault) and bent up the radiator really bad. I expected more for a duel sport. I'd hate to see what it would look like after a crash if it cant take pegging over in the soft grass.....
