Oh so that's why my parts aren't on the big brown truck yet!!;)



Should have went blue (well, or white/red too).



These days you can't go wrong with any of the 250f's.

haha.



last night was ridiculous. ive never been to hahm motorsports before and last night was my first AND last time EVER going there.



i called the sales people and Colleen answered (feel free to go in and tell this chick how dumb she is) and i had asked her to check stock on a bike for me. 2008 KX250F. she puts me on hold and then gets back on and says yea we got 2 of them. and i said are you sure they are the new 08 models. shes like ummmm yea (with a smart ass tone, like shes not stupid or something) and i said ok well i just want to make certain its the one because im not going to drive down there for nothing. she said theres 2 sitting right here. and i said ok because if you have the bike im coming down to pick it up. she said come on down and ask for her.

so i drive 45 minutes from upland to anaheim walk in the showroom floor and look around for the bike. i found 6 07's and not a single 08. already knowing the outcome i asked the first sales guy if they had the 2008 and he said he didnt think so and he would see. he came back and said nope they dont have them in. and i said no colleen said that she was looking at two of them.



long story short.......they didnt have the ish and i walked out of that place making sure to let that girl know how stupid she was (no details needed) ;)



o man i was so pissed it was crazy.....basically screwed my whole week up because she thought i was dumb and was gonn abe suckered into buying a bike that i didnt want.



and that whole "yea we have two left, come on down" is a gimmick....they had 6 07's....



i HATE sales people!!! and i HATE Hahm.



(had to vent that... :lol: )
 
well even though

the bike isnt paid for....im kinda putting this thread up there so i can get some more info on the bikes. i just might still get the honda but i absolutely HATE the twin pipe crap. such a turn off. and the bike is but ugly stock....you gotta dump a few hundred just to make it look nice. the dampner....who cares really.



ive rode kawasakis since i had my first clutch bike (1984 kx80). i guess its hard to switch it up when i havent had a single problem with all 5 greens ive owned.



but i know and trust honda almost as much.



i could very easily come home with a red bike tonight....but its not looking so good right now.



i want to hear first hand experience if possible and just opinions from anyone. good or bad lets hear them.
 
yea the twin pipe is a little over run in my view but it does look sweet with twin yosh lol if u have an extra what grand...but i havent personally gotten to ride with the stabilizers but ive heard you dont feel much of a difference but thats the key they want you to save energy and i guess for guys like me everybit helps...but in the looks department i def love how they tricked out the kx

Good call with the kx, honda's are killer bikes but just not as smooth on the power. Not to mention the 08 Kx looks sick as hell


i think it would be my first bike i could actually leave stock.....





PFFT......i wish.....i say that now but when i get it i know im gonna have to bling it out some. its an addiction.



:D
 
i bleed green, the old kawidog 250f is still holding strong in the garage and she gets ragged hard from time to time. Just put two new 08 kx250f's together at school today, they are some bad mofos, especially with the black wheels and all, go green!
 
[quote name='Pimpindahoes'] the dampner....who cares really.
Maybe this steering damper isn't as bad ass as the Scotts but it sure has to help.



A steering damper is the single best thing you can get for an off road bike.



Now if you're racing MX; that's probably a different deal then.



I run a Scotts on my 06 YZ250f.

but its not like i cant have one on the kawi.....i just have to buy it seperate.



so its not like i have to have the honda to have that.....just a little perk since its stock. but by no means is that a selling point for me.

Oh yeah for sure. My understanding was that you thought steering dampers didn't do much. Didn't know if you were the person who throws on a $1000 Ti system and thinks he's RC then. errrrr. Ryan Villipoto in this case ;)

on the kawi rims just watch when changing tire, be extra carefull, I heard the black ano. wears/scratches pretty easy.


im pretty anal about my wheels.



my tires are only changed on a machine so it doesnt scratch them at all.



i cant stand black wheels with silver knicks all over them.
