Not everyone likes the same.
Interesting, appreciate both perspectives above. I am almost 6'1 and the KLX seems tall in the tough stuff. I have fallen over and had a couple of close calls because of the height. Now thinking I will keep my KLX until a completely new generation arrives. I want digital "active suspension" like Bose has demoed for cars

There is something I like about about a river crossing - perhaps the fear of / relief in not having an early bath.
I like that, thanks for sharing. Wait, is that blue sky in Yorkshire?

I thought it was one of those Zero electric bikes at first with how simplified it looks.

Is there an air-filter attached directly to the carb? Are you using the stock CVK still??

Haha it was unbearably loud. I ended up making a baffle to slip in the pipe. I was going deaf and everyone I rode with was too.

There is a pod filter attached right to the stock carb. Had to make an aluminum shroud to stop water getting in the filter though.

Motoro that is one nice looking bike! Any info on what Aprilia swingarm that is? And was it a straight swap or did you have to do any custom work to get it to fit?

Hi Kouki, Thank you

Its an Aprilia RXV 450 Swing arm,
You have to make custom Linkage to get the swing arm plug to the main frame.

Other than that, its a pretty straight swap mods, no need to cut or adjusting any length of the swing arm.

It will be nicely done if you put 4.25 Inch Rim with 160/60 Tire on it

Thank u

Awesome! Thanks for the reply.

I'll definitely be on the lookout for those parts. The swingarm and bigger rim/tire combo really changes the look of the bike and would go really well with a big bore kit.
