Ahhh.. I am starting to understand the wisdom.... I have been thinking of getting a KLR for a looong while, but living in the middle of a concrete jungle and having limited time to properly flog on it kind of talked me out of it. Besides, having only one bike = more money for road trips, beer, and individualized stimulus packages for single moms ;-)

Surprisingly enough one company makes a bolt on turbo kit. From what I have read its suppose to make it an uncontrollable beast... with that being said, after a few track days I quickly realized that it has more than enough power to mess up my hair. ;-)
Myself, I would see a doctor about too much farkling. I believe it is a medical condition that needs to be professionally treated. Or, you can just ride it till the wheels fall off. Then start all over again.
W.O.W.:eek1 I had no clue you could do that much to a wing...I mean I knew they had a huge aftermarket following.. but damn!!! I bet his visa is smoldering...lol. Yeah, holy shit!!!! the more I read... the more I realize that I will never be "that guy"... you need a PHD in eleven forms of engineering to ride that thing...lol. On a side note.. damn he's good. Oh, if I had hair, I would sooo do that...lol.

This is the first bike that I have ever owned, that has ever reached motorcycle nirvana. I am 100% satisfied My best advice, assuming that your bike is paid for, is to keep it and buy another that serves a different purpose
Start a project to lose those three hindenburgs hovering around the rear of that otherwise awesome bike... That, or just go ahead and repaint it in Uhaul orange and start renting it out with furniture dollies and cardboard boxes. The 919 is my favorite bike, and that picture makes me want to cry.
