You can still buy one plated in another state, they pop up even all the way in FLorida

 

Ya, sure you can buy it. Doesn't mean your home state will let you take it onroad though. Then you might be left with a heavy dirtbike with lights. It IS intimidating to put on your turn signal after you pass a guy on the trail.

 

Sorry mate, I should have mentioned before that I live in Canada, more precisely in Quebec.

 

lol ....

 

An XR400 forum is probably the best place to extol the virtues of your bike, then............

 

Congrats on the new bike. I grew up riding Xr's and would love to have an xr400r for a purely offroad bike.

 

'''lol

I would trade my klx for a honda in a heartbeat. I've seen a trx400ex engine swap and then your bike would have a reverse gear which can come in handy.

 

The XR400R was a great bike. I had 4 XR250R's between '84-'90. Still, for my true DS bike that will be required to be on some decent lengths of pavement occasionally, yet be very competent off road, the KLX is hard to beat. Plus, after a lifetime of kicking my off road bikes, I'm through with that little activity, which can turn into a small torture test sometimes after a crash. IMO the true off road model XR series bikes can be found in large numbers and for a cheap price. You don't have to license them or pay yearly taxes, so maybe just get one for pure off roading and keep the KLX for those split personaity rides and conditions. However, I ain't kicking any bike anymore...except maybe a KDX200 or KTM200.
