    2001 KLR650 too pretty to get dirty

    Life is a balancing act, enjoy every day, "later" will come sooner than you think. Denying yourself joy now betting you will have health and money to enjoy life later is a bad bet.

      They are not selling in Anchorage, according to the dealer. They have optional ABS, but that is like a grand, I think.

          Great deal. Totally understressed engine that should be good for 150,000 miles with just routine maintenance.

                yeah they stopped selling then in Canada this year.
                ones listed on the website are 2014
                makes sense the market here si small enough let alone the far smaller niche these were supposed to find.

                A bike everyone pines for nostalgically that no one relly wants.

                    Part of the nostalgia was that it was a big, bad boy in it's original form. It's current incantation could never be that.
                    1982 GS1100E V&H "SS" exhaust, APE pods, 1150 oil cooler, 140 speedo, 99.3 rear wheel HP, black engine, '83 red

                    2016 XL883L sigpic Two-tone blue and white. Almost 42 hp! Status: destroyed, now owned by the insurance company. The hole in my memory starts an hour before the accident and ends 24 hours after.

                        Really? Have you ridden an 83 CB1100F? Awesome bikes, I don't see ANYTHING on this new version that is FAR BETTER than the original, charging system maybe? The original is a cult classic, for very good reasons. If they had just given this new one about 50 more ponies, they probably would have sold them out! I just came back from a dealership in North Carolina, and they can't GIVE THEM AWAY! Don't even bother uncrating them anymore!

                          I'd drive to N Carolina, if they were giving them away......

                              If you come past my place, Id give you a ride...... I really don't think they would give them away, but it's fun to dream....

                                Agreed, underpowered and also just priced too high.

                                Too bad too, because if a Honda model does well other mfg.s often follow. And the opposite may also be true. As this model seems to be selling slowly it may deter others from attempting a similar model.
