New bike addition to the stable

[eddie98]

After letting go of the WR, started to look for a new bike to replace it. I had it narrowed it down to 2, KLX250s & WR250R. After riding both and looking at some $$, pulled the trigger on an almost new 09 KLX250s. Bike has only 1300, this is the closest I'm going to get on buying a brand new bike.

Very cherry.

[Seca]

Looks great eddie. let me know when you are going riding. I have only got to take the wr out once.

Congrats! Bike looks brand spanking new.

A dirt bike was the first motorcycle I ever rode. I remember the then-new owner telling me that I needed to give it plenty of gas to avoid it stalling out. I took his advice and managed to inadvertently wheelie it in a car park at a dirt track with about 100 onlookers. Took me a split second to realize what was going on - believe I may have been dragging behind the bike for a bit before I let go of the handlebars. Not cool, but highly amusing to everyone including myself. That was also a 250cc - really enjoyed that torque!

Sweet Ride Eddie... Now let me borrow one when you go riding....

[Wheedle]

Sweet! How does it compare power wise to the DRZ400?

[bigb996]

looks good man, basically brand new like you said. A guy up the road has a red one hes always putting around town on. What do those things top out at? ive never riden one.

[cudruln]

Nice buy. I have always thought about getting something of that sort. That will probably be my next purchase.

[red98teg]

man that bike is clean! cant of ever seen the dirt. enjoy it

[BlueLghtning]

Congrats Eddie. That bike sure is clean. I'm sure you can talk to Sanches or Rocker and find out the common upgrades to do to those bikes to open them up a bit if you want to. I think going down 1 on the front sprocket is pretty common too.

[Reece]

very nice, E-Lo...congrats! :up:

It's got les power for sure. It feels very light even in stock trim.

I knew it would have less power, but how does it work in real life?
