Default Selling the KLX

Love this bike but have to sell it to make room for another. KLX guys come and get it!!

Its a 2006 with 7K (mostly road miles) Has a Powercore 4 slip on and 130 main jet in the carb. Also put on a FXF front fender. Got a brand new chain and rear sprocket still in the box.

I live next to a Notary so I can do a title transfer quickly.

I love the 650 engine in that ER6N, Ninja, and Versys. It has a super torquey powerband and is amazingly smooth for a vertical twin. Good luck with the sale. It looks pretty good.

Not having time for off road adventures anymore I need a bike that is road worthy and I love the style and price of the ER6n.

If you still like off roading, get a KLR650. I have the klx and have added a KLR650 to the stable, love both bikes. If i had to sell one i dont know which it would be. I put 5K miles on the KLR last summer. Its my road bike....lol.. but can still go play around in the dirt, but not too much with the tires i have on it.

I'm definitely a believer in the 2-bike system if you're really serious about differing ride requirements. If affordable I think the KLX paired with one of those 650 parallel twins is about a perfect match. Road touring and big trips require stuff like a big BMW, Goldwing, and other such behemoths, but I'm pretty much through with road hogs at this point.

Hope this isn't hijacking the thread, but just recently I have come around to the thinking that 2 bikes is the way to go. But I am thinking of keeping the KLX for the blacktop (daily commuting) and getting myself a decent (MUCH lighter) offroad bike. At this point I am torn between the following options:
  • 2008 or later Honda CRF450X - seem the best "out the box" bike's going around at the moment. Once you replace the valave with stainless steel ones they are pretty solid.
  • 2007 or later KTM 525 or the newer 530 - good handling, and tons of low down torque so you don't have to rev them (so you protect the valves)
  • KLX450R - coz I have a soft fpot for the Kawa's. KLX450R seems to be a jekyl & Hyde bike tho with some saying it's softer and better suited to novice and clubamn riders, while others say it is a pure competition machine coz of it's KX heritage *shrug*

Interesting that a lot of guys on here move from the KLX250 to adventure bikes or the bigger bore dual sport bikes. Can't help but wonder what I have missed.
