Click the "Multimedia" button. You will see both green and red ones. The red ones have a silver tank (not black like the 2005 model). Then click on the 'Information' button. You will see, about half a page down: Colors: Kawasaki Lime Green, Aztec Red At least, this is what I see on the U.S. site, since I don't know what country you're in I can't say what is on your own country's Kawasaki site. _E

I think you're right. I was in my Kawa dealership yesterday. He's ordering 16 this year. Said he sold 12 in one month last year. Had to bring them in from other dealerships. Matt --- In DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com, "Eric L. Green" wrote:

I have checked three dealers in my local area (N. Colo) and there are no 2005's to be had. At my local (closest) dealer , the guy said he sold twice his allocation this year and wasnt sure if he'd get enough '06's to meet the requests he already has on the books. Eric --- Matt wrote:

I saw a used 2005 klr for sale at the Yamaha shop, in Fort Worth, yesterday. It has about 1000 freeway miles on it. Eric Sumpter wrote: I have checked three dealers in my local area (N.

Matt, thanks for sharing your experience about bending your MSRs. I am beginning to understand that most hand guards need to be bent a bit to work on the stock bars. I'll avoid clamping down or bending near a hole. Steve a-19 98cr500
