:-) take me back to the 80's
I couldn't be unfaithful to my storm but I was looking for a lil new bit off stuff on the side
I saw this sexy lil bugger flirting her stuff and I knew I just had to have her
25 years old and still goes like a fiddlers elbow
just thought I'd share her with you lads

Been looking on eBay at kl km Xl XR etc as always fancied one for winter and poss green lanes etc. not cheap - early mid 90s stuff for a grand or over.
Re: :-) take me back to the 80's
jealous!! would it be rude to ask how much you gave for it. and has the storm started giving you the cold shoulder, silent treatment "my mother warned me " etc etc yet

Re: :-) take me back to the 80's
thanks for the admiring looks guys its a KLR250. Not really got a lot of poke but enough to make you grin and remember days gone by. Had the XT250 ER185 TS250 as youngster
I bought it as a winter hack and try a lil off roading but once i got right into her knickers and gave her a good clean down and scrub up to finish off the great jop the previous owner had done I realised she may be a lil to nice to trash The previous owner had stripped it right down and replaced EVERY nut and bolt with a brand new stainless steel replacement...... Yep, she's a kick starter and being vertically challenged (5ft 10) its pretty difficult to balance on tiptoes and kick at the same time I daren't tell you how much I've paid as when I've finished having fun I may put it on here for sale.
The storm still gets the nod though.

BVG, love the old KE Kawasaki
We had the XL100 then 185 then 250 on the farm, rode then into the ground then sold the wreck to kids in the village

Yep, thats the one! loved the gold wheels. I think at that time or there abouts, there was a bond film out and the bad guys were flying about on XT500's on ice...can't remember the film but I loved that bike. I had an RD125 and done a straight swap.
