apologize for the lores, didn't have my new digicam yet:







and a friend of mine thinking about her the 7th bike in the stable :

 

I think you need to make your photopoint album public...

 

Doh!

Fix'd the links...

 

Thanks...

What the heck is that in the third picture? A super-Motard version of the new water-cooled Honda XR 400?

 

Blast, forget the name but not based on the Honda from what I remember, think the company is from France.

I wanna get me a MZ Scorpion tho, that looks like a blast! Will probably trade in the RC for a KLR next year tho...

 

Like a KLR 650? A riding buddy and me are in process of aquiring and setting two up for a world-tour. Actually, I'm just going to do Baja and Copper Canyon. He will continue on through Central and South Mexico, Central America, and into South America.

Most of our (well, really mostly he has been around the world on bike... I just pick some random destinations) out of country touring has been done on BMW dual sports (R80Gs, R100GS, R1100GS) , but we like the weight and cost of the KLR's, and want to give them a try.

There was an MZ dealer around here a few years ago... I was never too impressed with them!

 

The Mz's are pretty neat, they have a 660 Yamaha 4-stroke in them, makes for a great super motard.

But yeah, KLR650... wanna take it up to Prudue Bay next year. Use to have a F650 kitted out with the 7gal tank and Touratech Panniers that I wanted to tour but never had the time (isn't that always the case?) Was considering getting a R100GSPD but they're just so big, might not feel comfortable.

Ever read 10 years on two wheels? Had lunch with the guy, nice fellow, awesome adventures.

 

one pseudo motorcycle i liked was the t-rex out of canada but it's like 40k american for it...saw it at the car show here in nyc

 

Yup. Have caught his slide show a few times, he's a pretty decent photographer as well, and overall nice guy... Of course all of us BMW guys are nice guys!

I had a '95 R100GSPD for a while... nice bike, but not as good on-road as my R1100GS and not as good off road as my street-legal XR400, but a good compromise! The KLR is a little lighter, a lot less expensive, but we are concerned about it's ability to cover many 300+ mile days on pavement comfortably...

A $3K used KLR and $3K worth of mods, and we think we'll have a pretty good world touring bike...
