Re: Anyone have experience with this...
The KLX650C is a pretty tall bike but you can pick-up lowering links for around $100. You'll need to adjust the shock/spring to a firmer setting - or ride real mild off-road to keep from bottoming out. I've never tried them but read about them on the bike forum.
the KLX650 family has lots of power and are real torque monsters - with easy speeds to 90MPH - but not a very comfortable long distance freeway bike - like most single cylinder bikes. But a great romp around town and hit a few dirt trails bike... and get great gas mileage.
