Adding a '26 KLX230R to the fleet of Kawasakis tomorrow. We'll have every KLX in their lineup after this.

Sharp looking bike!

I do like the white on it! My son has a KLX140. It's been very solid.

The 140s are unbelievably smooth runners, just a little cold blooded from being too lean from the factory. Pretty bulletproof little bikes.

 

[McE]

The 230 is official. Now I just need to figure out how to hide it for the next six weeks...

 

[Vermonster]

Congratulations!

my xmas tree and a bunch of my shit boxes through the years. currently only have the dragon blood softail and the christmas tree

This fkn thing followed me home in the rain the other night. 2001 F series GS 650 thumper. It's rough but I couldn't turn down a free bimmer w title and keys even if it sat outside in a back yard under a tree for four or five years.
Already got it mostly torn apart.

Last ride of the year. Did 140mi last Friday before putting it up for the winter so I've got room to work on the FreeMW.

Picked up this little KX100 today for my 12yo to ride at the dunes. Small bore two-strokes are the best...I had WAY too much fun on the test ride

Nothing like the attitude of a two stroke.

Picked up this '98 YZ125 today as a sand queen for my 14yo. Total barn find. It has been sitting in a garage for 20 years. Original front tire (date code '98) shows about 60 hours or so. Rear tire is 2003 with only a few rides on it. Some older dude bought it from the original owner in 2001. Took the shitty graphics off and we'll get the fluids all changed tomorrow. Just needs a new front tire, a 6 paddle, some new graphics, and a seat cover

My first bike was a '99 YZ125 so I'm just as pumped as he is

 

[Mtnduty]

Getting my first dirtbike this week!

Yeah buddy! What are you getting?

Seems like you are taking the n+1 mentality to another level. Maybe n+1 = Year -2000. So your goal this year is 26.

I'll do you one better. Below is my academic paper on the subject. Feel free to show your wives, gentlemen — you can’t argue with math.

On the Nonlinear Insufficiency of Motorcycle Ownership
A Constructive Proof of Perpetual Deficiency​

Abstract

We demonstrate that the number of motorcycles currently owned by an individual is strictly insufficient under all reasonable axiomatic systems. By constructing a nonlinear, self-reinforcing functional model, we prove that the correct number of motorcycles is always greater than the observed quantity. The result holds regardless of budget, storage capacity, or spousal input.

1. Definitions and Notation

Let:

•

denote the current number of motorcycles owned

•

denote the correct number of motorcycles

•

denote the indicator function of desire, assumed to always equal 1

2. The Core Nonlinear Model

We define the correctness function as:

Lemma 1 (Redundant Simplification)

Substitution yields:

Corollary

The system is nonlinear in spirit, even if algebraically coerced into submission.

3. Recursive Escalation (The Just One More Theorem)

Define the recursive sequence:

Taking the limit:

Interpretation

The correct number of motorcycles diverges.
The desire function does not converge.
The garage was never the constraint.

4. Piecewise Real-World Adjustment

5. Proof of Insufficiency (Sketch)

Assume, for contradiction, that the current number of motorcycles

is sufficient.

Then:

But from Section 2:

Contradiction.

Therefore:

Q.E.D.
Quietly Earmark Deposit

6. Conclusion

At no point does ownership satisfy the governing equations.
Motorcycle count is a strictly increasing function of exposure.
Any finite collection is a temporary condition.

Awesome day on the trails with my 12 and 14yo. They rode the "new" KX110 and YZ125 to get a feel for them. Their first time on a two-stroke, let alone a high-strung MX bike. Pretty fun to watch. Definitely a few moments of controlled chaos, but overall they did great, especially with how slick it was. They'll make perfect sand bikes
