craigatcsi Posted October 8, 2009 Share #6 Posted October 8, 2009 That is really a good looking first Gen.. Looking at it from the side, don't the first generations kinda look like the 'sport tourer's' that they are coming out with now? It kinda looks like it is moving when sitting still. craigr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyR Posted October 8, 2009 Share #7 Posted October 8, 2009 Looks like a good 2-bike combo. There are a couple other KLR owners on this forum as well. So. Tell us more about Goldie. She's a well taken care of ride, it would appear. How many miles? Are you the origonal owner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1sttenor Posted October 8, 2009 Share #10 Posted October 8, 2009 What an old junker! Seriously, thats a nice ride. I bet you get people coming up to asking if its new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldie Posted October 8, 2009 Author Share #11 Posted October 8, 2009 Wow, thanks for all the nice comments! The bike "Godie" has 41,000 miles on her and I do have a few other pieces that are not currently installed on it. I have the drivers back rest with the zipped wraps that go on the chrome bars and a pair of chrome front caliper covers that are not installed on it. I've read that the caliper covers can make the brakes overheat and I decided that they should stay off the bike for the time being. I'm not the original owner and have had it for a short time. After cleaning it up, I realized how great the shape of the bike is. Most people at work and people that ask say that it's probably between an 04 and 07, they are shocked to hear that it's 26 years old! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snaggletooth Posted October 9, 2009 Share #16 Posted October 9, 2009 Goldie looks pretty sharp. Somehow it looks vaugely familiar. Oh yeah! It's like mine but with more chrome! Man that must throw a glare on a sunny day. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zfrebird4 Posted October 19, 2009 Share #17 Posted October 19, 2009 Love your sense of humor, the green for something different from 'Goldie.' My 86 VR looks like she is panting to be ridden when parked! I've put 23,000 on her since she came to me through some Venture rider friends. I am slightly the elder, at 70 with two new knees.

Condor Posted December 16, 2009 Share #23 Posted December 16, 2009 Ya know I hate to rain on anybody's parade, and 'Goldie' is a nice looking bike, but how about popping $12 bucks to support the board??
