Default KLX Bobber

I found this while looking at Japanese 'bikes for sale' sites.

Ya know, I actually kind of like it. It would better in flat black though.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying I'd really want something like that, but I admire the original design and thought that would lead to someone doing this to a KLX.

Anyone can bolt stuff on a bike and call it custom, ala all the Harley boys with their *** jewelry rides. I like any custom bike that shows some originality, and this one certainly is original!

You got that right. I bet the owner gets lots of looks from people wondering what kind of bike that is. I think it looks surprisingly good, i.e., not too much of a hatchet job, but rather pretty well thought out. It's not perfect, but it ain't bad, either. Who ever did it obviously has some good fabrication skills.

That is really cool! I like mine for the dirt bike that it is, but that is cool. Definite custom. I'm going to show my harley buddy that pic, he's got an old bobber he's customizing.

Maybe he could wedge in a modded KLX motor for a bit of extra umpfff.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I believe this is a fine example of one of the rarest breeds of bike: The Supermoto Cruiser.

I like it.

Not a bad looking bike but that seat location would make it very uncomfortable to ride given that the bars, foot pegs, gear shifter and rear brake peddle are in what looks like stock locations.
