    Well got the klr650-09, brillant bike. Handles the road well and off road even better. Its the type of bike that takes me back to the old days, a simple, grunty, super fun bike. $9000 brand new. Of all the bikes I.ve personally had, this is 1 of the most enjoyable. I put a two brothers muffler on it, nw she sounds like a old TT500.Who cares about looks when ya smiling from ear to ear.

    what did we tell ya?

    Let the farkeling begin! (Ah, Two Bros muffler - it already has.)

    If the pic on your profile page is it - then you got a proper green one!
    it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.
    those cheap ass bitches can do anything with ductape.

    Murph get some sw motech crash bars before you do too much offroad. they are very good but heavy. Also get rid of the rubber footpegs & weld some metal ones on or buy some others. Also Ventura headlite cover (approx $60) as the headlites are very expensive. Also some good tyres


    Welcome to the tribe.The blood-letting ritual will begin at midnight.


    Also if I'm down in chch can I please sit on your meanstreak & make brmbrm noises? They are very cool.

    and whatever you do - don't leave your new headlight cover on the desk and then put your feet up on the desk .....craack

    seriously the crash bars are really worth while having (just ask Pete )

    Don't get a KLR; don't get a DR either.....get a DECENT bike !

    Then you can RIDE it..... and not spend countless hours on these forums arguing how your crap KLR is better than his crap DR !!!

    ...just watch what happens next...

    List price of one lower side cover - $250, decals and extra $180. You CAN make a reasonable facsimile using duct tape but it doesn't look quite the same
