OK maybe I have two heads and don't realize it, but this KLX seems to get very little street respect.

Seems like every time I am out other riders are giving me funny looks and smiles. I expect little respect from the HD cruisers because i wear a helmet and don't wear enough leather and studded accesories and cute fringe. I would understand if i dressed like a clown all geared up. But i usually just wear jeans and a t-shirt. I think I would get more respect riding my sons mini bike or my wifes minivan. (really don't need the respect by the way)

So what am I not getting?

Finally, I don't really care. Its just been my observation. I love the bike and thats all that matters anyway.

 

with one of these you will demand respect!!

 

Funny, its totally the opposite here.... Everyone looks at my bike, even old people lol!

 

I can't argue with that Hoedogg!

 

i was on a two lane road one day and a fully dressed harly rolled up in the lane next to me and looked over and said "what does that thing weight?" i preced to say 280lbs... he laughs and says " my front tire weights that much" dont expect much while on the street.... but in the woods... a different story.... i have had a ton of people say, " is that street leagal?"!! surprised and looking at it like "i need one of those"

 

i love that part about the KLX street legal and dirt bike in one. if i was'nt in the big city i would so have one.

 

I get nothing but compliments and questions

"Bro that is one bad-*** bike!"

"Hey! I used to have a KLX250r, whats the s for?"

"Did it cost much to add those blinkers?"

Even if it's only 18 HP max in stock, it's still a GREAT looking bike.

I just need to get rid of that rear fender.

 

I would think a city setting would be perfect for this bike.

 

the new klx250sF would be perfect for city riding...

 

the knobbies would just get ate up by all the pavement EMS has the right idea!
