Looks neat.  What year?

Has it had the doohickey done?

Also, I've read some of the newer ones are "oil burners", even out of the box.  You might want to watch oil levels, esp w/frequent highway speed riding, just to be safe.

I've seriously considered a newer one, but haven't found the right deal or acted yet...

Can't ride a zx7rr from tampa to tierra del fuego, though   ;)

Not many places you can't go on a KLR...

Boy would that be a fun trip...

Tampa to Argentina?

yeah, no pocketrocket will get you that far.

if i want a street bike, i would buy a Harley..

its a big change over the little tw200 i had, but i don't like the ride height on a drz400, and the price was right on the klr650.. and i had a two friends get klr's recently, an 08 and an 02, i saw this one, and had to snatch it up.

yea rocket's are fun but if you want a street bike get a harly.

look's like i found anouther enduro rider :) ive got a suzuki sp250 that i ride most every day.

the tw200 are cool i looked at a few.i had a drz400 dirt bike and it does sit a bit high but i got used to it and could throw it around like my old klx80 when i was a kid.

my next bike will be eather a drz400e or a klr650 or[evan though i HATE honda]a xr650r.

if i get my mind right i will probly get a harly but i still love being abble to just jump off the paved road and ride off into the woods or down the rail road track's ;D
