    although ill admit theyre rather different machines, the klx more like a brp to own!

    yep, and i guess it did a good job, being a bit more techie and modern than the xr600 back in
    '93 but reckon the 650r would boot its arse..klx never won baja!
    still want one tho

    not as rare as the KLX but, one of there problems besides not making them anymore is there so easy to mod up and every buggas doing it, would love to have a 100% stocker.


    Hey Dave dont forget to post up some picks of the ole girl in action...(the bike that is)

    stock or near stock is what id want, i had a high comp one years ago and it was a bit of a bitch in a few
    different ways . having said that, pipe and carb improvements plus big tank etc would be nescessary
    p.s we should be discussing this in the brp pages lol

    i'll try and post some pics this weekend, just waiting for my big tank to arrive, the only changes i've made so far have been new bars, fitted a set of Barkbuster storm handguards and fitted a 2013 KX450F front guard, still a few changes to make but good things take time.

    i reckon thats the best bit.... adding/changing bit and bobs to suit besides the riding off course, im still making little changes to the XR, i never seem to get it just right....
    i suppose if a bike was perfect it would be boring... Go the Bling
