For me the KLX when I first saw it in September of 2005 was a no brain-er. I ordered mine a couple of months before the dealership on the peninsula even had them on the floor. I picked it up on November 23rd and haven't regretted it a bit. This bike represents all the things that I remember as a kid, and always wanted to re-capture. It's also the first time I have ever bought a new........anything, car, truck or bike. So that adds to the personalization. Same thing with the wife's new XT 225. Grasping for one's youth?.....maybe, and why not, we had fun then and it doesn't have to stop right? I have read of more and more guys that have bought this bike as the first bike they have had in 15 or 20 years, in fact I copied and pasted this from aa long time ago, from a post I added about how I feel about the bike.

Quote: "I thought about it, and I asked myself a question. What defines success when considering the KLX? Is it sheer numbers sold? Is it the occasional "Cool dirt bike" we get from folks we run into? Or perhaps its something more than that. How many guys out there decided to get back into riding off road after 15-20 years of sitting on a couch watching TV every day? Well more than just a few, and if success was measured by motivating people to change what they are doing and to have fun at the same time, then numbers sold, high or low, "way to go Kawasaki, keep up the great work."

Good times........Good times indeed[8D]

 

dont you have an air horn to go blow or something?

 

Damn Deej your right. A line from Bob Segers "like a rock" comes to mind. 20 years, where'd they go, 20 years I don't no. You can thank me later when your still singing the song 5 hrs from now :-)

 

Right on! It's made me feel like a kid again.

 

Right on

I LOVE THIS BIKE!!!!

I never had a dirtbike...ever until February 2007...parents looked at buying two XR80s back in 1984 for my brother and I, but decided to buy a 200M instead....MAN if only they had bought the XR80s!...today I could probably really ride my KLX250Sway better. lol

Thanks for starting this post deej...most fun I've had on wheels since.....well ever.
