Here's my new baby. My first KLR. I needed something nimble, light (compared to my "metric bagger") and with a large gas tank. Today was day six - 165 miles and I can't believe how much I'm enjoying this thing. Black Twenty-Twelve:
![]() I have always wanted a bike with black fork sanctions, exhaust, swingarm, motor, wheels, etc - and finally... :) |

I really like that blacked out look of the rims, swing arm and forks! Enjoy the ride!

Oh yeah, guess I should put this one up here...
![]() Happened to notice I was 15 on the nose while sitting at a light, luckily it was a long light. Lowest mileage vehicle I've ever owned, it sure doesn't look it from the outside but it runs like new. Too bad it passed it on the street, at least when I closed in on 10 I was coming home from an SBNF Adopt A Trail meeting. Here's to hoping I can arrange 20 on the dirt. And yes, I was on my way to the gas station when that photo was taken.

Your KLR came from the heavens themselves, eh?
I'm pretty sure mine came from that other place...

I got in another 200 miles today. Lots of river roads. Lots of places that were just made for the KLR, or maybe the other way around...
