2talltim Posted December 10, 2021 Report Share Posted December 10, 2021 Since everyone loves this game so much (thanks @NinjaDoc) let's play again. Guess my new bike! Today I picked up a new steed. And NO! the Connie isn't going anywhere. The new ride is like comparing Apples to Onions vs the Connie. It's slower, has less pistons, but the Connie's pistons are smaller. I will say it is brand new and it's my first ever brand new bike and the first time I've ever financed any bike. Let's start there. If noone gets it ill post a picture clue later. If you already know don't ruin it. Only 3 of you low life's know what it is already..lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup picked up a new 2022 KLR650 ABS. Wanted something the exact opposite of the Connie. I found I didn't like getting the Connie out for short trips into town or on hot days ect. Also what to start hitting some dirt, gravel and back country roads. The KLR seem to check all my boxes with a reasonable price tag. I did finance it just because rates were low and to keep my credit healthy. But it will be paid off in a couple years. Like i said ABS "traveler" model, they made lots of improvements to them for 2022 including Fuel Injection. Soon I'll add bags, crash bars and other farkles. But here she is fresh out of the shipping create. 1 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand the klr is a little soft. Also know that thrashing offroad is not what I initially plan on doing. I got the KLR vs more powerful bikes because I literally just want to tractor around on it. Gravel roads, blm fire roads ect. I do not need a perfectly set up suspension till I feel I'm ready to take bigger leaps on it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With what you have stated, I think that bike will meet your current needs plus you have great fire roads just south of you. Give a shout if you need a wing man, I have a shitload of routes below I-70. I have been spending a lot of time in East Ohio just south of Woodsfield, Love the gas/oil routes. I am planning a possible trip down to Talladega National Forest next week for two day's of adventure stuff, (72deg's) Stay Safe. B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
