I got a wild hair up my a$$ and brought home a brand new 09 CRF450x last night. I'm pretty stoked. Not sure what the fate of the KLX will be. I'm probably just going to keep it. It's a great little bike. Do you know how hard it is to pay attention to your girlfriend when you have a brand new bike in the garage. She wanted to go to Michaels to look at Holiday decorations. I'm like oh crap. I was in the garage until about 1:00am. Of course it's 48 degrees and raining today.

 

Tell her to accept that you're a hot blooded male and your boy's toys will always trump shopping.

Good on ya for the buy. Keep an eye on those valve clearances with the CRF's (hopefully the 2009 models are a little better than the older ones)!

 

Put the 450 motor in the KLX For the win! LOL

 

Nice. Those are nice bikes.... My buddy just street plated an 05, it's sick.

 

my bro and i just baught back our Dad's old 96' XR 250, yea, i know, sounds old and weak, no way man, i love it! its all spiffed up and erything! Hondas are great bikes, i learned and rode on one all of my life till i got the KLX, best of luck to ya with it!!!

 

I had 4 XR250R's over the years, and they were really fun and competent bikes. I'm just through with kickstarters.

 

Great aquisition RG. I hope you can get it plated at some point. Beautiful bike, enjoy it.

Got that problem solved for me....no more wife around to be mad about working on bikes or riding.

 

Eric I've learned girlfriends are better than wives because legally you can have more than one, and when they **** you off you just boot their a$$ out the door and go get another one. This is where the Harleys come in handy.

 

Tred lightly. The new toy can wait and do no harm. Can't say the same for the girlfriend.
