Adding to this it also DOES NOT have a 2.4l or 1.8l engine in it. You may need one though to pull it ??? :o

Nice!!! When I read 'kawasaki' I thought maybe our picked up a versys, but that's a nice 650! I wish I had a hard bag setup for the speed four, but found some nice Nelson-rigg that serve the purpose

Did you trade in the old bike?

Ride safe! Nice purchase

Still have the old bike. It sits in a garage.

We had actual sun yesterday!!!!

Hmmm.... the road ended.... what now?

Image

Image

This sign means good things be forthcoming for motorcyclists!

Image

Paved road again

This stretch of gravel was annoying... freshly laid and unpacked, like riding in sand.

Anyone for a swim?

And down back to civilization

It's an interesting way to get around a freeway parking lot!

Almost home!

That's pretty impressive. Both my dad and brother rode KLRs, but my dad rode his a ton more. Did several trips with a local thumper club, https://www.fssnoc.com/. My dad ended up selling his a few years back and went back to a Goldwing though so his wife could ride with him comfortably, and my brother sold his sometime last year.
