Sad day.
 

She is gone. the guy just picked her up tonight. i am gonna miss it like hell. I already do. I guess I am gonna need that R1 to help me grieve. LOL

LOL...I wish I could have a sad day...I am ready for that dadgum KLR...LOL...

good luck with the R1..those sure are nice...

You did everything you could with her so maybe it really is time to move on. Great build and I'm sure a great deal to the new buyer. R-1? Not a Ducati or Triumph? Duke?

I have a blender - actually, I have two - one in the kitchen and one for the greenhouse chemicals but the garage is still lacking! I think I'll keep it that way.

You'll be back to big twins or v-fours. I've it seen with other members who go away to I4, come back, spend thousands in the meantime - for what?

On the other hand I don't fault you for seeking better performance and handling. Problem is, if I had to go out and buy a better/newer/v-twin I would be somewhat financially challenged to do so.

That's why I keep tuning the Superhawk. She went to the surgeons today. One more mod.

I know. I am a twin guy first and foremost. I stumbled upon the R1 and it was a smoking deal. No one would have passed it up. I had to buy it. I am going to ride it for a year and hopefully by then, I would be a able to afford anothe twin, maybe the RC51's replacement. We will see.

That really sounds like something I once bought but it was in red lace but was equally seductive. It was sooo pretty and such an attractive price :woo:

I, too, await the next thing from Honda. I will go to the bank for that bike.

Are you sure you want to get a KLR? I just got rid of mine that I had for just about 3 years. Make sure you do your research before you get one and invest in blue locktite. As long as the doohickey has been done you should be good to go.

So far, research shows that the doo has been upgraded (fixed) on the 08 models...But if I end up with a used one, then I will be looking for one that has lots o mods...

sorry for the thread Jack!:shock:

I remember the KLR had sooo much power that I got passed by a Vespa
