Not a China bike

Hancadam · 11-16-2020, 12:54 PM

But still wanted to show my new bike off.

Back many years ago, I bought a klx250 new, had some troubles with it initially, but went on to put 16k miles on it. Sold it for a drz400 thinking I needed more power, but never really rode the drz like I did the klx.

Fast forward to now, I ran across this bike online. It is a 2007 with 843 miles on it. Still had the factory packing/break in instruction stickers on it. I bought it for $3k, which I think is pretty good.

Somehow the factory tires and hoses look great still, but the blinker bases are very dry rotted. Other than blinkers and removing the fox stickers, I don't think I'll do anything else to it.

I had been saving up for one of the new gpx bikes, but couldn't not buy this one.

I was looking at these and the DRZ when I bought my TT250. Seems like a fun ride choice either way. Enjoy!

For a 2007 model it looks like brand new.

Nice! Always liked the green myself.

Not a suggestion, but would look pretty sweet with some LEDs - just my opinion lol

Jealous - I can't find anything that nice around me. Not too many in the dual-sport scene either..

Ride safe man!

Handcam please please please - put a fresh chain on it, being stored for so long its condition could be compromised. it such a cheap job too.

My buddy picked up a mint condition 04 R1... cleaned the chain and a few days later it snapped, resulting in a low side. low and behold the service center confirmed it was the factory original.

some would say the bike needs new tires too...brake fluid too...

regardless looks awesome its probably gonna last forever
