reasons to NOT sell a kx5
slow600:
found myself pondering selling my kx5 supermoto. i love the bike but the dated looks and non-friendly power make me always ride others when its time to ride. its literally got cobwebs on it. will i regret a sale?

You have to ask yourself, what do you like about the bike. What do you think your regret would be if you sold it? It sounds like you really would rather ride something else.

Sounds to me like you already have your mind made up. It's time to move on. KX500's are not for everyone. I could never own "just" a KX500 I would be dead and buried out on the straightaway of some motocross track from the wrong bike in the wrong element with WAY too much hp.... LOL

i have other bikes to ride, just a hassle to premix on rides which is a major reason it gets skipped. i feel bad letting it sit. my mind is definantly not made up, just wanting some opinions. all my friends say sell. its just hard to part with a bike i have put a lot of time and money into and it was a pain to get street legal. it really does put a smile on my face when i ride it, the non-friendly power delivery makes me a lil giddy every time.

I think the giddy feeling is good enuf to keep it but premixing is really a major reason to part with it? I can understand the archaic look reason more.
For me a 125 2stroke is less friendly(pipey)...the 500 throttle is dial-in what you want...a friendly, goofy bike(in a good way).
