well this is the 'newer' version of the ol' klr....just painted the plastics, and yup ready to ride in winter with studded tires...nice! Oh and those who like the bike or my pics, this may be one of the last of the klr 250, I just bought an 08' KTM EXC 450r, the dual purpose model, so something tells me I won't ride this all that often. So remember, I will share little secrets or problems/solutions that I have come across over the years with the klr (which there are many!) Don't be shy, I am more than happy to give step -by-step answers to your questions...and if you think is sucks haha you can tell me that too. Hopefully I will have some cool KTM pics for ya this summer--- [email protected]
