I gave up on converting the XR to street legal so Friday I picked up a 2009 dealer left over KLR650 with no miles from Tom's Cycle in Indiana. Got a great deal! My last bike was an 07 Ninja 650R and I'm glad I made the switch to the KLR650. This bike is awesome. It's hard keeping the rev's down on these first miles with so much potential. Well here it is...

With the 87 XR600R...

Ready for some oil changes...

I did the first oil and filter at 50 miles and it was dirty!
I'm thinking about this hard luggage... http://www.happy-trail.com/Kawasaki-...a-KLR650E.aspx
Any thoughts?
I have an hour and 10 minute 1 way commute to work this summer and that is this bikes primary job with some easy trails on the weekend.
Can't wait for the weather to get squared away so I can enjoy riding.
