klr 650
 
so i can be the first to post here. great. have a klr 650. have had 3 of them. great bikes. this one is a 07. wanted the last year of the square headlite version. the newer ones look like more of a street bike than a dual purpose. but havent ridden one. i take mine anywhere and everywhere. great in the sand and what hills we have here is fl. took off the knobbies and went with the avon gripster tires. better on the street than the knobbies and ok off road also. i do ride on the street to get to the trails. plenty of power, but a little top heavy for any real jumps. jack

They only bend if you lay them down or roll them over

beemerman 06-01-2013 10:24 PM

I like the klr. A little top heavy. Like my last girlfriend lol

nosbusa 06-02-2013 01:17 AM

beemerman 06-02-2013 01:58 PM

It is equipped with a roll bar

SBA800 06-03-2013 12:17 AM

SBA800 06-03-2013 06:57 PM

rols his truck by accident and thinks hes the pro roller

PFT

nosbusa 06-04-2013 01:08 AM

loan me your ranger, i bet i can do it again in no time.

SBA800 06-04-2013 09:16 PM

i dunno, i thought for sure the one incident i had id roll but somehow it managed to keep its footing.

dont think i ever mentioned that story on FRF

nosbusa 06-05-2013 03:14 AM

air down to 12 psi. mix in a bit of drifting, and an uncontrollable traction control. that equals a roll.

NickPic83 06-05-2013 07:23 PM

srsly that TC is friggin dangerous

SBA800 06-05-2013 11:11 PM

my truck doesn't have traction control mawfuckas

I hit a 1' deep puddle at 60 MPH, shifted sideways into a rutted ditch, and managed to counter steer it out and into the other ide ditch without even lifted a tire. was insane.

that was when i was stock height and on 31's though, which probably... no., which DID help the situation lol

NickPic83 06-06-2013 07:36 PM

that will pucker your butt hole

SBA800 06-06-2013 07:39 PM

nah. things like that dont freak me out for some reason. i always seem to keep my cool and just do my best to correct it.

now shit like that on my sled.... thats butt puckering lol.

nosbusa 06-07-2013 01:59 AM

same with dodging traffic on the bike.....

SBA800 06-07-2013 07:03 PM

yeah id shit my pants lane splitting and dodging traffic.

nosbusa 06-08-2013 10:51 AM

you get used to it.

SBA800 06-08-2013 05:37 PM

i suppose that is true sir.

nosbusa 06-09-2013 04:37 AM

the more you ride on the street, the more aware you are of being able to predict drivers. when i first started riding i never split lanes, and always thought the guys who did it fast were crazy, but over time i became that person. not because of me being crazy (which i dont deny) but because i can tell when a person is driving like an idiot and will try to swerve into an open spot. if you spend more time on a bike you will understand. its hard to explain, but you almost gain an extra sense.
