This was the bike I wanted for ages and suddenly lucked upon a new one at a reasonable price.
It was really worth the wait and I am so loving it .

Wow!!! I love it! Really wish Honda would sell that bike here, I would buy it in an instant. Perfect displacement, air cooled single and sexy looking to boot. Also, I would save some serious cash with the much lower cost of insurance when compared to my 650.

Congrats!!

Had Honda had the DP version of this bike when I bought my KLX, this would have been the perfect bike for me. At the time, it came down to the KLX250S and the DRZ400S. I ruled out the DRZ because of its heavy weight, the lack of the USD forks, and mainly the 37" seat height. The 35" seat height of the KLX is about as high as I would comfortably want a bike to be. :oops:

No more. :(

The salesman told Hondagirl that this was the last year for this model as Honda can no longer meet japanese/Euro emission standard with this 400cc air cooled motor. She was lucky to score a brand new leftover at a great price. :kicking:

I really like the blacked out engine, the flames, the gold wheels, and the white seat. :kicking:

Very cool. Sometime I'll get myself a Honda - with ABS, though. :) Searching even though I don't have the cash now for a nice black one with ABS.
