kilo3 Posted November 2, 2023 Author Share Posted November 2, 2023 Well I now own the world's most expensive klx300r. Original dealership's owner finally got wind of all the shenanigans and wanted out. We split the cost. Yadda yadda pain in the ass. Oh well, bike is mine, I paid a lot in stress and cash. We bought a number pack because my boy likes stickers, he choose my number lol. 😂 We should be ready to rock next spring. Even picked up a decent trailer on the cheap, which means it's probably stolen in my experience... 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heavy Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 Glad you ended up with a bike, at least ... even if your quest for inexpensive was blown out of the water. Just make sure you get enough smiles from it to offset the BS. 1 There is never enough time or money to do it right the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadwarrior Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 (edited) Glad it all mostly worked out in the end. Now you'll just have to keep the bike a long time to get that annual cost of ownership down to an acceptable level. It's been a weird winter in MN. I have more miles on my motorcycles than I do on snowmobiles. Buying non-titled vehicles (four-wheelers, dirtbikes, snowmobiles, etc...) in MN can be a real stressful situation. I always ask for proof of ownership by registration and sales receipt. If they don't want to provide that, then that's a deal breaker. For liens, you can do a UCC search but that is super expensive if you purchase it yourself and most banks won't do it unless you are financing with them. I recently dropped $12,500 large on a used snowmobile, and even when you try to take all the precautions, you still walk away not feeling 100% sure...

Nice sled. Love the XC's. Can't make it out on my phone ... 850 or 650? There is never enough time or money to do it right the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ride365 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Sleds might be even more fun to ride for me than motorcycles.......just don't get enough snow where I live to ever have or enjoy one. LOL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL Yea, if I had to pick one, I would probably take snowmobiles as you get the dirtbike and streetbike experience combo-plattered into one machine. Here in northern MN we get about four months of snowmobiling and five months of motorcycling. It generally works out pretty good. It's those in-between months that are hard to take. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miweber929 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 The problem with sleds, and the reason I got rid of mine, is you have years where you don’t get enough snow for them to actually get used. If the weather doesn’t cooperate, you can’t ride. On a bike, you pretty much just get wet.  The plus to sleds is you get access to public and private land, not to mention trails everywhere. You don’t get that on a bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kilo3 Posted February 20 Author Share Posted February 20 Wife and I both sold our sleds before we got married. Logistically its a tough proposal living in the cities. Storage, trailer, driving to snow... it sucks. Would 100% have sleds over streetbikes if we had the resources/didn't live in concrete hell. Would probably keep the dirtbikes tho.
