we had a deal!

I think you'll like the bike a lot. I've been critical of it but have always closed comments with it is what it is and what it is ain't bad off road or on. And thats pretty hard for a 250 to pull off. One of the reasons I haven't been more aggresive trying to sell mine is..I'd still like to have it around. I like my KLR but the WR is light years ahead of it in brakes, suspension, and power when both are in the meat of their power delivery. And I like the KLR. Not knocking it. Dual sport bikes probably get nit picked more than most because they're asked to do a lot more.

Great deal right now!!!!

Couldn't resist that deal myself. Only went with the Endro saddle/duffle bag system, but hell, have to start somewhere.

Ok, 1200+ pages, that's crazy.
But, I just bought one, here she is.
I live in Newport Beach, if anyone wants to go ride.

Been riding 30 years, best bike ever.

I'd like to get an X and some tricked out Rs. Different angles, side front even rear with some saddlebags on it! Looking for some variety here :) Does Rydnseeks count ?!? That'd look sick on a shirt logo

If you can help I'd appreciate it!

Are you still looking for photos???

You can change your settings. It's only 192 pages on my computer. It's the same number of posts, but a lot faster to scroll through fewer pages.

I picked up a Tour Master Super Mini Tank Bag with the strap mounting system and it works really well and only $62.99.
I went for the black but it is available in blue!

See here I used the seat to tie off of.

:

It fits my Sony handy-cam with room to spare.

I picked it up from
Motorcycle superstore
So far so good!

I just installed a set of AC-10's and I like them.
I have used an MT-21 front and a Trackmaster2 rear on my old 450exc which did OK
On my 640 I have a pair of D606's and they did great on the trail and on the street it did no do well in mud.
I just picked up and installed a pair of the AC-10's and they could tell first that it turns faster than the TW's and are great in the mud!

jimrobinette · 01-03-2011, 06:38 PM

Based on the advice of Crawdaddy, it looks like I have something to work on this week!
