The plague kept my on the hunt for months. I was also looking at the Honda CRF300L but the Asshat Dealers in the Valley of the Sun who actually had one dont even return call with messages left like "cash in hand" Apparently lots have cash these days
So anyway, glad I ended up with this 2022 KLX300 from the shop in Cottonwood AZ. List price plus all of the usual BS but I gave them a card for a deposit way back and this showed up on their truck Tue
1st drive around the block between rain cells yesterday
1st local road up and over the mountains behind town on the road down to Skull Valley - nice new playground, bout 10 miles from the house
Locals having fun apparently didnt see the water and mud until a bit too late
So first impressions from a zero experience on dirt old dirt bag; 1) 4K rpm limit sucks for 150 miles, darn thing seems like its really lugging up hill in 3 at 4k. 2)gonna be lots of fun 3)impressed at the smoothness of the stock Dunlop 606D tires on the pavement, thought it would suck but they are not bad 4) I need some new guy lessons or training - I have zero confidence on the dirt and gravel roads that I not going to lay this little bitch down in the mud
Hopefully I can find something around here take some beginner lessons soon.
