Took $2500 today and walked briskly into the house. I think a totally fair price for both.

As mentioned in the Reasonably Priced thread, looking to sell my motorcycle. Heading to SF and would rather spend the money I'd spend on insurance and maintenance on rentals when traveling and the occasional rental there. I'd prefer to sell in spring but we'll be leaving by mid-February so I'll...

Much appreciated for the opinion. I edited the post to mention that it does include the OEM exhaust as well; I've got it in the box the FMF exhaust came in.

I'm thinking of selling my KLX before moving to the west coast (USA). I'd rather not end up in the "Overpriced" thread so figured I'd run it by you here first. 2009 KLX250S 25,000 km Dynojet jet kit + FMF Q4 exhaust (this bike is lean from the factory, so bigger jets were necessary even without...

Finally had some time to put together a short film using the clips shot a couple of summers ago. Drone, mirrorless, and GoPro all represented. By the end of the summer I realized that picking up a bike multiple times a day in high humidity was difficult enough without having to deal with filming...

I figured I'd post here before putting on Kijiji. Looking to sell my Klim Latitude Misano suit (both the jacket and pants, separate is fine). I purchased it in late 2014 alongside my KLX. I've outgrown the jacket (literally) and I have a pair of Klim Mojave pants I've been using instead of the...

Background: had carb issues in the spring (poor performance and took a long time to warm up). Got carb cleaned ultrasonically and this seemed to correct the issue. Though it came back a couple of months ago. Issue: When cold starting the bike, it takes a long time for the bike to idle smoothly...

I've got a 2009 KLX250S which I'm very happy with. Other than getting it started in the cold, it's fantastic. When starting it up today I noticed smoke coming from the end of the exhaust header. It looks like there's a material between the header and pipe connected to the muffler directly below...

7:40 this morning pulled over to assist a rider who had come off. Looked like injured leg and rib but he was walking with assistance once EMS showed up. GWS!

So I'm heading to China and will soon sell my F800R. One of the things that I loved about this bike is that, like most new bikes, it just worked all the time. I never had any issues in the 25,000 km that I put on it since 2011. With regular maintenance, I would expect it to go for quite a long...

GF is buying a car. Lives at home with her mom. Father lives abroad and only lives at home for three months or so per year. Can GF put her parents at primary and secondary drivers and her as tertiary? Or would she have to be primary or secondary herself. Her Mom currently has a car but I'm not...

I haven't seen one of these since I got back but encountered two today. Cops hold up traffic but don't seem to mind people getting into the convoy. What is the law? Basically do what the LEO instructs you to do? Or can you just follow normal laws and pass it?

So I've had my '11 F800R for almost a year now. Love it to pieces. It was a great upgrade from a Hyosung GT250R when I got back from Korea. I've put on almost 19,000 km (4,500 was from a trip to Florida). My dilemma is this: insurance is a good chunk of change and the monthly payment is the...
