[QUOTE="scar tissue, post: 129192, member: 21098"] FYI The klx I rode was stone stock. Re: handling vs. power It depends. I didn't do any radical hill climbs on the KLX as it wasn't my bike, and my 600 rocks on hill climbs. In open dessert the xr6 would still be king. but in the tight trees, rocks and track the klx is point and go. I found it smaller (which I like even thought I am 6'3") so I felt I could throw it around. Secondly I had the opportunity to see some masters at work this weekend in Big Bear (see ride reports ) there were 2 klx's right in front of me going up John Bull the hardest trail and they just walked up and around all the boulders. and I bounced off most of them. ( I 'm not sure how much of that was rider related but they looked sweet). On the malcom smith steep rocky hill climb (where there were several get offs.) I powered up bouncing off rocks as I went and the KLX's followed just fine. I did notice I had to shift alot more I seemend to blow throught the power band quicker. I would gear it down a bit more than stock and even go with some engine hop ups. with those mods and being street legal it'll be hard to beat. I haven't checked the prices but am seriously leaning that way. I to have mostly been on Hondas CR500, CR250 and learned on a CR125, but the KLX just seemed like I could ride it all day and not be wiped out.(which is good now that I'm getting Ol..., well you know) FYI I did see a license plated CR500 up there. I have no idea how that happened but he legally got a plate for it. WOW. :cool: [/QUOTE]
