dual sportbike article

[Mr Steven Hoffman]

Hello everyone this is my first post. I'm picking up my 2005 klr650 this Sunday (10/09/05).$4000 seems like alot of money , but it only has 750 miles with no crashes (all stock).I was told he's selling because he does more road riding then dirt. Here's my question. I've been looking for this bike for sometime it seemed like not alot of klr650 were for sale. I found a mod parts company (TPI COMCAST WAREHOUSE)which seems to have fair prices on parts. Has anyone had problems with them, their rated poor on service and fair on quality of parts. I have $1000 to add mods before the wife has put the breaks on. My plan is to add a brighter headlight with flashing break lights. Add alot of guards ( I'm not as quick as I was ). Shocks ,forks with support upgrade and pegs.With a helmet my grand is gone. I remember things being alot cheaper in my hodaka days. Any comments , please advise. __________________________________ Yahoo! Mail - PC Magazine Editors' Choice 2005 http://mail.yahoo.com

Great article! Best of all, we didn't have to look at any ugly KLR pics, too! Just kidding -- but great article -- dual-sporting can always use some press.
