Maybe a fuel-injected KLX450 or KLX650 to replace it?  That would be awesome.

Wuuuut ?

Did Kawasaki catch the Suzuki virus, and start planning a new dual sport?

Holy crap!

Think of all the unused milk crates that will be homeless now!

What will all those old codgers bitch about when they have a brand new fuel injected , half faired, 39hp, 18" rear wheeled, aluminum framed, led equipped klr800 that only weighs 215 lbs ?
just give 'er the berries !

That's not a joke. I actually bought two new milk crates (1 gal and a 2 gal) on the internet about 9 months ago. Those things aren't cheap either.

What's with all this milk crate talk.  I thought all the cool kids started using ammo cans as panniers.

So if I keep my KLR another 50 years it will become a classic and will be worth something?

50 years? I do not know about you but in 50 years I will not have to worry about anything.

It will be a classic motorcycle and who knows? By then it might even make it to "Museum" status.  ;)

Heck, I remember when these were new;



In 1990 I went into the little motorcycle dealership in Woodlawn. The owner was closing up shop and selling everything off. He had 4 Honda CBX 6 cylinders in the shipping boxs from Honda. He never un-crated them because he said no one wanted them. He offered to sell them to me for $1000.00 per motorcycle if I bought all 4.  :o

I bought a used 1988 Kawasaki Concourse instead.  :(

Shoulda, coulda, woulda,  ::)

I say ride the heck out of that KLR...enjoy it. ;)
