Oh....by the way....
If you commute primarily and are looking at fire road type offroading at the most you might want to put a used v-strom 650 on your list. It handles dirt/gravel roads just as well as the KLX while being more comfortable and has the ability to run 75-80 without breaking a sweat. 65hp with a 6 speed tranny is nice for long pavement runs, and really shortens my 7 mile commute to work

Now that this has gone to Timbucktoo......
I traded my 2006 with 8600-ish miles in June 2008 and was given high book of $2400 on a trade. I had a spare set of wheels/tires, aftermarket bars, barkbusters, shorty clutch, mx rear fender and led taillight, street tires mounted, and a stock klx300 exhaust.
The dealer asked that I take everything off except the mx fender/taillight and the exhaust. He said the rest wouldn't get me any more money and it wouldn't help him as his buyers typically want a stock looking bike.
I sold off the rest of the stuff for around $800.
From that....

Well that flipping irritates me. Its one thing to accuse me of not doing our job when it's in our power as mods to do so, (and that's happened on many occasions with me pleading guilty) But to accuse me of not doing something we don't have the authority or the ability to do? That's BS!

Come on guys chill out. Nobody needs to "leave" or give up their possition. Just agree to dissagree and move on. I know I know " I'm new here" so I don't the whole depth, so what. Get back to the KLX thing, let the other stuff go.
