Just trying to be clear on where I'm coming from, thought process-wise.

 

good reply brian. the plate is the queen I'll admit.

 

stopped at North American Warhorse last week. they had a wr on the floor.. comin from the KLX (im 5'8") the damn thing is ridiculously tall.. id hafta pass if i was in the market for another machine.. first stop on uneven terrain and id be doin the naptime maneuver curled up with the bike on the ground. also.. seat had a close similiarity to a 2x4. wasnt a bad lookin bike tho, just wish the engineers would realize that the average height is 5'8" not 6'2"

 

There's always something new. I was at the yamaha dealer buying some parts cause my kawasaki dealer sucks. I saw the wr250x
and I was pissed too!!! But on the plus side by the time I'm done building (my klx) it the way I want, I should still be equal to the cost difference anyways. In my life nothing I buy stays stock. I cut it and stuff as soon as I unload it, not even a ride first.
I've only got a few mods left to finish. I may have 10,000 in my the time I'm done but it was my sweat that did. Anyone can just go buy KTM thats not hard that's the easy way out. I'm a fighter and love my klx even if I got to run it on jet fuel or swap in a small block chevy it's staying in my garage...
