I get teased on mine mainly because of the color.
Maybe I should go with...

Yeah I saw that on the Tokyo site too. I like the black with the grey side paneled seat, lower mirrors, cool looking headlight fairing and integrated turn signals plus they eliminated the rear rack and just have passenger handles (I could do without that). Maybe I won't paint my grey but go with the black.

You should have stopped writing in this thread while you were ahead. We were saying rare because we agreed with you, which is rare, not because we thought the KLX is rare. lol.....

People who can't ride replace their lack of skills with power, Most of us hear on the forum have proven that all you need is around 18 horses to tackle basically anything. Some people complain about the weight as compared to a race bike. I've had experiences where I was going over a whole bunch of rocks and it my bike would have weigh maybe 50 lbs less it would have been bouncing like crazy. The race bikes also come with aluminium frame and ours is steel, my 5th grade knowledge tells me alum is lighter but steel is stronger.

. Kidding of course, go green or go home! (Wasnt that the kawi motto some time ago?) Although black is always a cool color for vehicles of sorts. My buddy calls my bike a girls bike because it can't launch me 40 feet through the air like his 2 strokers. I tell him I kindof like being able to move around without the aid of a wheelchair.

All my mx gear is blue and black from years of riding the Yamaha, it clashes with the green and my body ink. Kawasaki is making bikes in blue, red and black so quit being such a traditionalist, change is good, girls like guys who aren't afraid to adapt!

Me and you just need a bigger jump is all. Well If I stole my uncle's bobcat and made a gap that 45 ft deep I would be getting 50ft of air right? haha
