Turns out they do. The best one on the used motorcylce listings I could find is close to where I'm going, low mileage, and stock, but $1500 above my price range. Then there's this one, which looks good, price/mileage. http://www.tipmoto.com/motorky/kawasaki/198763-klr-650.html But check out the front forks and the frame mods, welded guards (it appears) where the pillion peg mounts were, as well as the lower motor bash guard. I'm no expert. Did this guy just pull the fork dust boots off for looks? It appeared so when I went out for a sight comparison with my '03. What about the welded on mods to the frame? Does welding weaken the frame? I don't know dick about metalurgy. Are these mods something to worry about, or just cosmetic stuff? $2500, 1997, 15,000 miles... if it didn't look funny I'd buy it right now. Bryan PS: there are several nice DR 650s on the site. I love my KLR but am willing to go sideways. Any good reasons to NOT get a DR 650? No virus found in this message.
