These four short clips are about my most recent motorcycle purchase. When I sold my 1990 Yamaha xt 600 I wanted to purchase another dual sport bike. I purchased a brand new 2006 Kawasaki KLR 650 in Feb 2008. Since I usually keep a motorcycle for many years I figured I could still enjoy a left over model. Considering these KLRs didn't change much over the years I would enjoy the money savings.
In the video I tried to capture what it is like to buy a new bike in the middle of the winter and to pay cash for it. I have owned many used bikes through the years but this is only my second "Brand New" motorcycle. The first one was a 1985 Honda V65 Magna then listing for $4048.00 , back then I was only able to come up with $500 and had to finance the remainder. Now I am 51 years old and it is a little easier to get the cash.
I only drove the bike the 65 miles to get home so I can not do a complete evaluation but if the ride home is any indicator I am going to like this bike for light off road use and commuting back and forth to work. Perhaps I'll do another video once I own the bike for while. This is my first ever Kawasaki. Please leave a positive comment if you enjoy the videos. Be sure to see all four in order if you can. Thanks for viewing
