Trust me, nothing an Aussie loves more than pissing off Poms.
(Poms is what we call English people)
And it's an Ashes year!!!

There are many, many differences between UK and US english,
There is even a setting on you PC for it.

Australia is still a commonwealth country with the queen of England as our head of state. Go figure.

No, we use "tire(s)" here in Canada, at least in my area. Even if my area is French, we can see this "tire" on many commercial front signs.

Interesting article, though, I find that I love the bike on road about as much, or more, than any other street bike I have ridden or currently own.

It's agile, I can lean it like crazy, tires stick like glue when it's dry and I was able to keep it at freeway speeds the few times it was necessary to take the freeway, though, not much more than 70 mph. You do notice it's light weight at anything above 60 mph.

I love my new KLX on the road and off road like you ..

I am still running her in so have not experienced her at high speeds.
I did not buy her to thrash around on i brought her just to have fun on and she is great fun.........
