Default Never sell your klx

TO all you KLX junkies. I just want to express my feelings here. I am a badass but I feel so sad and MISS my KLX so much. I ride a crf450x husky 630TE and Husaberg 570FE; however, my beautiful KLX 2010 351 with pumper finely tuned, cams, full fmf exhaust, so many other loving mods, was pushing so much HP that there is little difference between riding a KLX "worked" and my Husqvarna TE630. Man was I wrong in assuming that the KLX was underpowered. Once fully and properly modded, it was a bad *** bike that ate up alot of other stock bikes. So, there you have it my long ago pals on klx forum.. one very very nostalgic memory of a KLX sold to a city ****** without a clue. That dude came to my house with 2 other nigs with 2700 bucks and stole my heart. I watched as they crammed the black shiny perfect work of art into the back of the work van and drove back to the city like rats.

Enjoy your klx's my friends.. and be careful when u do decide to sell.

I understand your regret. My '12 is set up just like your bike was and it is a completely different animal compared to the bike I rolled off my trailer almost two years ago.
Still doesn't keep me from drooling over a new Beta Crosstrainer-If I could figure out how to tag that puppy I'd probably pull the trigger. I think that I can move the washer and dryer so that I could cram another bike in the basement...

Some evening while standing in front of a group of people:
"Hi, my name is gbauto. I have a motorcycle habit ......"

I'll never sell my KLX or the wife's XT, I don't buy stuff to ever sell. And no I'm not a hoarder. LOL

Is there a Motorcycle Hoarder's Anonymous I can join? I can't seem to get rid of bikes. I should. I need to. I want to. I can't bring myself to do it. I have 7 bikes for two riders. The forks and shocks on the CRF150F need to be rebuilt so my wife can try out riding. I'm thinking of circle-tracking the XR100; it needs tires and a motor mount bolt. I'd like to sell my son's KX85, but I should rebuild the blown motor first. The XR250 was my first "real" bike, so there's the emotional link.

Hi. My name is Michael. ("hi Michael") and I hoard motorcycles.

I would never sell mine even though I'd like to get another bike.

I sold my '86 VFR750 to buy a FZ1 eight years ago and have regretted it ever since - not that there's anything wrong with the FZ1. I wouldn't call myself a hoarder, but I understand the urge.

Hoarding motorcycles? That's IMPOSSIBLE!! Right tool for the task is VERY important.

I routinely buy bikes, keep them for a couple of years, then sell them and move on to the next project. The KLX is the only one I regretted selling, and this past summer I found a good deal and bought another one.
