@GabeLakmann The gun is a type 89 from howa, not made anywhere but japan. You’ll never see them, even when they phase out they’ll never cut them up to sell as parts kits. Give up hope. It’s over. (I hope not but I too want one)
The KLRs can be had on Govdeals, from what I hear. They take a lot of funky diesel fuels, but like I said before, they’re SLOW. If you’re off road 90% of the time, if you have nothing but whites around, then maybe you can scoot around safely but I wouldn’t recommend it. Roads are too dangerous. I got rid of most any bike that’s incapable of fleeing an enraged driver, I don’t like being at the mercy of traffic flow.
But, if you’re like, in Idaho, and you’ll have lots of trail riding then grab a Milsurp KLR, enjoy the 80 mph on diesel, and have a ball
