Honestly the carbs in my 1200 weren’t horrible. It has the most free space for moving carbs around of any bike I’ve owned

There's an Old Wing available near me for 500 bucks; problem is I have no idea if I'd be able to get it on my trailer. Also, off my trailer. For some reason that scares me even more.

If someone wants to strip all of the plastic bullshit off an oldwing, get it tuned up and running well, and sell it to me for $500, I could be convinced to buy. Otherwise, nah

If it’s any consolation, I will probably be old-man-bike-age by the time this thing is running. I’ve got a bunch of pics to upload later. Awful App crashed while I was grabbing them. They tell a story.

I sold my SV650 back in august, now that im stuck home i want a bike again espec. with the reduced traffic. There's a overstock 2019 KLX250s for $4800, i got the dealer to agree to $5k flat after fees and taxes. I'm on the fence though. For one, it's gonna be a slower bike, obviously. Though I have always wanted a dual sport and something to hoon around on. Is it gonna hurt trying to take this thing up a hill? I live in a kind of hilly area and one of my favorite roads to ride on has a spiral-type turn where the road has a pretty decent incline while turning to the left. It was so much fun on my 650 and im worried it'll feel like poo poo to do it on the 250 if I pull the trigger. I liked the torqueness of the SV650 same as every other sv owner did on the planet, im assuming the 250 won't pull as much in that satisfying way tl;dr someone convince me that buying a KLX250 to social distance with is a good idea There's also a craigslist one with literally 110 loving miles, a yoshi exhaust, and a fender eliminator for $4800. But given the state of the state and the DMV being online-only buying a bike privately doesn't seem worth it. Fratstar_Eatpuss fucked around with this message at 00:32 on Mar 27, 2020 |

I mean, I'd pay 3-4k out of pocket for a WR250r/x before a klx250, bit the kawi will be fine for what you need it for. Riding the wrx flat out on long uphill twisties, losing the rear in corners, and generally donging it up, was some of the best fun I ever had on a motorcycle. 250cc is plenty for uphills, and will let you hit dirt which is where the real fun begins.

Its the sexy camo model too edit: Dealer said $5800 now after taxes and DMV fees. I told him I could bring my old plates and do the DMV stuff myself, he went down to $5583... Pretty much noped out of that. Told him the bike was listed on his website for $4800 and if he can find a way to get it to me OTD near that he has my information... have a nice day.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the 2018+ KLX is FI which does bring it a little closer to the WR. The WR will always be the better bike, but always going to be much more money. I got my WR250X for $2800 but it needed a few things and bikes are cheap here.![]() https://minneapolis.craigslist.org/hnp/mcy/d/cameron-turbo-busa-bugatti-killer/7100450187.html

This 2011 XR1200X just popped up for $4500, and I'm tempted to grab it. Those aren't bad, I've ridden two. Other than the normal Harley sitting on a paint shaker when you're at a stoplight. (above about 3K rpm it all smooths out) For those if you want something fun, see if you can find any of the left over Vance and Hines race kits. There used to be a road race series for those bikes and Vance and Hines made the spec bolt ons for it. https://photos.app.goo.gl/2uU4HXYmJYKBQiRf9 https://photos.app.goo.gl/Mcr1DRcmU4maooqs5 https://photos.app.goo.gl/7KkL9qZoCNzrqpz36 https://photos.app.goo.gl/XivUywuzdkkUgRd67 https://photos.app.goo.gl/qS2PhYtYqwhwadih8 Skreemer fucked around with this message at 06:50 on Mar 30, 2020 |

Is this the right thread to request a used bike goon inspection? I've been looking for the same bike my dad had when I was a kid and one popped up in Highland, NY (12528) but I'm in California and if I buy it will have it shipped to my parents house in Minnesota to restore over time. I just want to get impartial eyes on it before I pull the trigger.
