I bought a brand new 2007 cr125 in 2010. It was a leftover. Problem was someone had put gas in it (not sure why since it was brand new) back in 2007.How do I know this ? Because when I got it home before i even tried to start it I drained the carb. What came out literally looked like syrup. I...

About 30 years (of riding)

So what did OP buy ?

I seriously considered picking up a 2012 WR250R but ended up getting the KTM 350EXC instead. It was a tough decision. I think long term the WR is an all round better bike and will require less maintenance but I am partial to KTM even with all the quirky issues they seem to have.

Didn't realize there were so many good options to what I am currently using.

I have been riding ss all my life but if I ever go cruiser it will be a victory. Beautiful bikes and very unique.

Absolutely buy dealer bike.

Just googled them. Seems like a nice boot. My MX boots are so stiff it's near impossible to walk in them. I have often thought if I was ever in a situation where I had to push my bike out of the woods for any distance I would have to take my boots off

Those Forma Adventure boots look like a great option. You could even wear them on a street bike. Seems like they Are more flexible than a typical mx boot but still good ankle support

Pretty sure machine racing sends there motor work to Bondi. Could be wrong but might be cheaper to go there directly.

The WR250R seems like an interesting bike. It would seem it's the only dual sport (and I use that term loosely) that comes anywhere close to ktm's lineup. No other manufacturers make a dual sport thats more orientated to dirt as opposed to road.

You won't go wrong with any ktm

This is true.

I am curious as to who buys these high mileage bikes (over 100k) when you sell them ?

Nice track bike. Are the fairings and tank powdered coated or is it just regular paint. Looks like a great paint job

As some have said. Don't patch a motorcycle tire. Your life is worth more than a new tire. Why risk it.

No need to purchase multiple jackets, layers etc, I tried many of these options. Just use your summer bike jacket and a tour master heated jacket (not vest) and tshirt underneath and you will never be cold again. Best investment I ever made. 3 heat settings for varying temps. Works perfect

Not a good idea to bend the lever back. Most of them are "cast" Spend the $40 for a new one

Some people simply commented, some people over reacted and i am not sure why.I don't even look at it as a story about someone quitting riding. I just thought it was an interesting "motorcycle" story. He certainly wasn't trying to say no one should ride. Basically he is smart enough to know he...

To the OP.If you have been an ss rider all your life think twice about switching to a cruiser.Two different worlds. You may miss the adrenaline rush of an SS. In a perfect world you would have both but not always in the budget.
