clutch not releasing / bookmark this page

[super7sonic]

O.K. so you've always wanted a KLR but you were repulsed with that nasty G.I. olive drab green color -- well today is your lucky day. I'm one of those dot com casulties, as my career sinks slowly in west the trusty KLR goes up for sale. Not just any KLR, but one with a cool paint job that you don't need to spray truck bed liner on to hide the factory paint. First the good news; this bike is rock solid, everything works and it has lots of new stuff on it like a Travelcade gel seat. Now the bad news: the price is $2000 firm. I know, I know, your brother-in-law's cousin's friend got an A16 just last week for $233 and a goat up in Saskatchewan, good for him, eh. This bike is worth the asking price and you are welcome to look it over and take for a test spin if you're in the Phoenix area.
