Hands down the best machine I have owned. It’s easy to work on, confidence inspiring, excellent for 2-up riding, and fantastic range. Mosko Moto soft luggage rounds the bike out.

A superb going to town bike. Confidence inspiring for a young rider, and really fun to explore backroads on for adult riders. Combine that with easy to work on, and you have a fantastic cocktail!

The inline triple makes music. The ergonomics as good as a sport tourer. Planted and fun in the twisties! A special machine.

Is it the best machine I have ever owned - yes. Do I deeply regret selling it - yes. Will I make that mistake again - likely. Pound for pound the most joy and smiles I will ever have.

Just as quickly as it began, it ended. A whisper in the wind. Not my thing, nor my dads. Such a beauty. But she had to go. Fastest bike I have ever owned and sold - less than 7 days.

A truly magnificent machine that I was able to bring back to life. I learned an enormous amount working on this motorcycle, and I am so glad it went to a good home.

We’ve owned two of them. We’ve got a real love/hate relationship with this dual sport! My son & daughter dislike it very much for different reasons. I, on the other hand, would equip it with a suspension upgrade, new pegs, and handlebar risers and ride it around the world…they won.

A magical machine. Drove it across the country, and within 2,000 miles had catastrophic engine failure (failed crankcase bearings). Engine was replaced under warranty, and it went back to its original home. A wonderful machine, beautiful vibes. Just wasn’t meeting my needs.

Successful restoration project! This guy is a monster, but quickly went to a new home after the restoration was complete. I learned a lot about working on bikes doing this.

Purchased this for my son. We took it on a few good adventures, but it was not his thing. We ended up selling it after we moved. You don’t see a lot of them around in Arizona without folks putting big money into the suspension.

This bike served me well for years and tens of thousands of miles. A wonderful, reliable machine. After a hard trip across Arizona, I sold it. The suspension was fatigued, and whereas they had significant suspension options for the VStrom 1000, everything had to be custom done for the 1050 - money I didn’t want to spend on a machine that was gaining miles. I don’t regret selling it - the R1250GS is in a different universe.

This KLR was good to me - this is the first bike I tore down to the frame, rebuilt the engine on, and diagnosed a serious engine issue with. As of August 2025, this bike is finishing its restoration with the new owner, and will be back on the road soon!

This was a special machine until it had catastrophic clutch failure at just under 9,000 feet in the middle of nowhere. A real shame - she went to the dealership & never came back. But the bike gave me loads of smiles.

Failed restoration project. The engine was shot when I purchased it. I wasn’t feeling the restoration, and sold it in parts for what I had in it.

This bike saw some hard use and continues to with my good buddy who now owns it. An absolute monster, this thing has been all over the US in some tough places. Very difficult to enjoy out west for a weekend warrior.

It’s still unclear to me why I sold this…mistakes were made. In retrospect, likely a good choice, but I miss it on a weekly basis.

My sons first bike. It ended up going to his sister for a few minutes, but a bit too big to learn on at rider height/weight. A wonderful machine, reliable engine, and clean lines. A very nice bike.

My first entry into adventure bikes. Put a lot of good miles on this machine, and she continued to see good use in the family until we sold it in 2024.

My first re-entry into motorcycling after the USMC. I cannot describe how much joy this bike brought me. It’s crazy to imagine a world in which I didn’t buy this at the time it was offered. No clue where I would be today.

A failed restoration attempt on this motorcycle that had been run without oil. The crankshaft was heated so badly it warped, the engine case cracked, and the carb replaced with aftermarket. These bikes are highly tuned and require the carbs that come with them to function correctly. After seeing engine issues, I abandoned the project.

Clearly an AI generated image - I don’t have a picture of the machine sadly! But similar color and style. This motorcycle has great memories for me.
