shotsfired Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 It's got just over 12k on it, bigger gas tank, upgraded shocks, slim-lined mirrors, different rear plastics, I dunno, the last owner ripped out all the crap that slows it down and stuff. LOL. I can't say I listened closely. The speedo cable broke right after I got it, but I'll throw another one on, it's sitting around here somewhere. I rode it around the local streets once or twice and that's about it. It could use a new rear tire, looks like the last owner rode highway mostly, so it has that flat center feel. This thing looks like it fell out of the mountains of Colorado or something, kinda got that lived in look. I'm asking $1800 locally, on the board I'll ask $1500. I have all the original parts in a box in great condition too, but I'm not including that in the price -- feel free to haggle with me if you want em. Just so you know, I only registered it a few weeks ago and CT probably needs another week or two to get me my title. I can't make it happen any faster than that if someone wants the bike. As I'm thinking about it, there's a small tear in the seat from use. Just putting that out there. As I think of things, I'll post em. Like I said, she looks used, but not beaten. At least, not to me. I think she looks like a dual sport is supposed to, but that's just my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shotsfired Posted March 29, 2010 Author Share Posted March 29, 2010 Wow, can't believe I'm getting a response for this old bike. LOL Dave, you'd never let something like this in your garage! I've seen your shiny, clean newness! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveK Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 OK Ness....buy it. Now WE have a summer project. And.....Jenn lives pretty close to me.

Redbird Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 That bike is bulletproof. I put my 600R through hell and it never missed a beat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shotsfired Posted March 29, 2010 Author Share Posted March 29, 2010 I'm sort of... condensing. I have five bikes right now and I think my taste is being pushed to different investments. I really want to buy a condo in FL within 48 months. I know that's a long time out, but to plan to have that kind of money, I need that kind of time. The bikes are here, they're sitting, yeah I use em once in a while, but not enough to keep em. They are only going to depreciate with time, so I figured it was time to let some go. I may change my mind in a bit, but there will always be bikes on the market if I need something new. I'm keeping my KLR 650 right now, and maybe my KLR 250 unless someone wants it for the right price. I think if I can sell the bird (although the market looks a bit flooded right now), I will buy another KLR 650 and keep the pair to ride with my boyfriend. He and I do a lot of day and weekend trips and the bikes would be nice. Basically, I'm trying to refocus, consider some real goals and get rid of the toys. Toys cloud my mind, as they're just pacifiers for me; I should more constructive with my time. Sorry, that was a bit more of a diary entry than an answer. Blame the Coors Light. :icon_silenced: Tim, yeah, this thing seems like it's bulletproof. It doesn't care if it's four degrees out, it starts right up and goes. It has more pickup than I've ever seen in a dual sport -- it puts the KLR to SHAME. Really. I was shocked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveK Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Great choices....condo's in FL....a-plenty. Great long term investment you can use. Good luck....start the stockpile. Need some freezer space? :0) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need some freezer space? :0) Why thank you! LOL. Yeah, I was looking at property down there and I don't think the market has settled at all in FL. I imagine if I show up cash in hand I can steal something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetted and uncorked those things are torque monsters. The XR was the only bike I could ever wheelie for shit, BIG controllable power. If everyone else hadn't jumped all over this thing I'd be seriously considering it myself. BTW, Coors Light? Christ, I thought you had better taste than that.

I have no interest in trying to put that thing on one wheel, but I'm sure it would do it with little effort. And yeah, Coors Light. I either want my beer like water or mud. Nothing in between. If it's the color of piss, I won't like it. Doesn't mean I won't drink it, just means I won't enjoy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOXXIC Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Nice bike, good deal. Just sold my KLR650, if you were closer I would take the Big Honda. I like Coors Light, at least better than Bud55 or Miller 64. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redbird Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 I believe it, Tim. I have no interest in trying to put that thing on one wheel... You gotta do it at least once before you sell it. If it's rolling in first gear, it's ready to come up. I'm the biggest wheelie pussy in the world, if I can do it, anyone can. Whack it open and let that motor do it's thing. Now would be good, you've been drinking. I like Coors Light.... Yeah, but you're gay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, it's raining like hell. I would dump the bike. I was the kid who couldn't wheelie a bicycle without taking it too far. I'd always end up standing and either holding the bike straight up or with the bike on the ground in front of me, upside down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOXXIC Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Yeah, but you're gay. I'm not gay, but my boyfriend is. The ultra light stuff is refreshing, tastes just like water! I agree with T1, do the wheelie thang, it is addicting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrganDonor Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Crap. What? I'm just glad I didn't see this before Elliot did. I'm looking at getting a sporty car with the gf, so this would have delayed those plans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
