In With The New! 2004 KLR 650

I've long wanted a Kawasaki KLR 650. I think they're ugly as sin but are a great all purpose bike that is still simple, can handle most terrains and can be infinitely upgraded. All I had to spend was the $2500 from my CB360 and about $800 left over from my work at The Mode Lounge. So, used was the word and the search was on. There were some pretty good deals here locally but believe it or not I found one at Big Twin Cycles, a BMW dealer locally that was the right one for me and a great deal. Here are the specs

2004 Kawasaki KLR 650
14000 Miles

The dealer did:
New battery
Oil Change
New chain
New Sprockets
New Michelin tires

The previous owner did:
Happy Trails radiator guard
Happy Trails skid plate
Happy Trails fork brace
Progressive rear shock
Corbin seat
Hand guards
Wolfman tank bag
12v outlet
High wind shield

All this I got for $3200 out the door! Pretty good deal I'd say

Only 2 things that I want to purchase for it now are some heated grips and an aftermarket exhaust.

I'm sure I'll be doing some cosmetic modifications to it soon as well as some needed freebie mods that everyone recommends. This bike will be my commuter and all around go have some fun bike without carrying a whole tool box around.
