Hi guys and gals,
I'm new to this list (was on it briefly about a year ago). Not new to
motorcyles. I currently ride a 99 BMW r1100rt and have another
project bike, 1981 CB900C.
I've been riding for about 40 years and have owned bikes for 34
years. In those first six years I like to say I crashed every dirt
bike my brother-in-law owned.
I don't currently own a KLR650 but have been looking at them for a
number of years. Today I found a NEW 2007 for $4779 plus minor doc
fees. Almost bought it. Is that about what I can expect to see
pricewise? I've seen the few on ebay for a little less. Odd how few
there really are for sale given how many years they've been in
production.
I'm in no rush but I plan on a trip to Prudhoe Bay in summer 2009 and
want this to be my ride. Too many questions about setup for this trip
for now but if anyone has done a similar trip clue me in.
One question, Are the 2008 KLR's different cosmetically only?
