Maybe Orange County Motosports knows something about "Up coming Best Dual Sport"...... WVDoran If you can buy before the end of FEB, Orange Co Motorsports will sell you a brand new KLR650 for $4,999 OTD, yes that includes tax, license, freight. They only make $100 off each bike and make it up in volume I guess. markII --- Russell Scott wrote:

it, because sales of the old model starts drying up.

What is going to be really wild with that one, is the dual-fuel retrofit kit that basically bolts on turbo diesel capability. They have designed the injectors to be modular so it's a nearly instant swap for diesel and a simple toggle on the control module to switch mappings. I wonder if IMS will make a rear rack tank so you could run a bit of both for long trips?

You can wheelie? Moving from the CR500 to the KLR has stripped me from front end hijinx. Troy A19 - CastleRock, CO

Rev it an pop the clutch. It 'll will come up. Takes a little practice and I don't always do one but have had the front end so high it concerned me. It ain't no CR 500. That one and the KX 500 will wheelie anytime anywhere with very little effort. Criswell

Personally, if a supposedly 337 lb bike (dry) with questionable doohickey needs the clutch popped to get the front wheel off the ground (about as high as John Candy could jump), I wouldn't claim it to be capable. Hmmmm. Maybe this is how the rumor gets started about KLR's out cornering crotch rockets....... Maybe nitrous would help. Also, the thread about putting a KX500 motor in the KLR, gots me a thinkin: I have a CR500....and a KLR....pull over the 500 motor....and the 48mm shocks...and brakes....rear suspension...ah heck, just put the KLR tank on the CR.

[ron criswell]

Personally all I was saying is it will wheelie but not near as easy as a KX 500. It takes practice. Any fool can wheelie a KX 500 or the CR. Thats why they sell a lot of rear fenders for them. Criswell
