Soon to be Bikeless

So I've decided to sell my KLR250 which is my last remaining bike. I'm kind of sad but on the other hand I'm glad it's going to a good home.

I might get another SV650 or SV1000 at some point. I'm not sure what I want to do; I miss riding but the 250 just isn't big enough for commuting in Atlanta.

Maybe another KLR650?  :dunno_black:

aww man, that's a bummer  :icon_sad:

Hope you can get a new bike soon!  :thumb:
I'll have no idea what piece you're referring to unless you include one of the following: Doobly doo, thing-a-ma-jigger, or dibbledy dop.

The killer tiller, Suckzuki TL1000R.

How about a Dyna Fat Bob.
Why didn't you just go the whole way and buy me a f@#king Kawasaki you bastards.

Get a fz09... it will inspire you! ... there's a number of '14 models being sold by the 'it's dated' hipsters too!

Ohhh. Hell no. I rode one of those; not in a million years.

Possibly, but I don't think I'll buy a 4-cylinder. Just too much buzz for me; I prefer twins personally.

If I did buy an I4, it would probably be a GSX-650F.

Heh... You like Cheap? ...Not too fast? ...Not an I-4? ...And made by Suzuki?

Try a V-Strom!
There's tons of them around, parts are cheap, and they come in two flavors: The ultra-reliable 650, or the bug-infested DL1000.

The only down-side I can think of is that they're frequently ridden by creepy old men that seem to hangout in the woods a lot.  :whisper:

I know exactly what it is.
I was considering a new "FJ-09" but simply couldn't justify it.
My DL1000 blows the pants off me when I push it hard, so... The FJ-09 would only get me in trouble.
I already have a 2014 Yamaha WR250R and an old Harley that never get ridden. Why add to my collection of empty dreams.  :icon_rolleyes:

The FZ09 is too much. I wouldn't know what to do with it.
Now... Ask me about my moped! I'll catch you in the twisties.  :whisper:

Haha, I actually had a DL1000. Fun bike, lots of power....way too big for me (physically). I've got a 29" inseam so I tiptoed that thing like nobody's business. Honestly, I couldn't ride it wearing shoes; I had to wear boots.

I think an SV1000 would be more my style. I absolutely LOVED my SV650 but wished it had just a little more power.

Agreed, A DL1000 is not fast but I'm 6' 3" so the big Vee fits me rather well.

An SV1000... Now that's fast. Problem is their kind of hard to find now-a-days, no?
I think the last production year was 2007?  :dunno_black:

I'm in Atlanta so I see them fairly frequently on CL. Problem is, most of them are 2003 models and both the SV1000 and SV650 had terrible issues that year.

Not a problem.
Word on the street is; Your an excellent mechanic. Start looking for an older SV  :thumb:
