You guys seeing this at your dealers too? $400 add-on just for paying cash?

Kawasaki just introduced the new KLX300 XPL, a more adventure-focused version of the KLX300 that's looking to compete with bikes like the Honda CRF300L Rally.

The factory setup wasn't quite doing it for me, though. The round headlight just didn't fit the look I had in mind, so I decided to see what it would look like with a more squared-off headlight and a proper rally tower.

I think it turned out pretty good! What do you think of this setup compared to the original?

53,000 miles on the original fork oil… I’d say it was about time for a change! 😅

The Versys-X 300 is finally getting some much-needed attention!

It’s getting a fork rebuild, fresh brake fluid, new handlebars to replace the bent ones, a new chain and sprockets, and quite a bit more.

Hopefully, I’ll have it back out on the road in about a month. Looking forward to getting this bike back in shape and putting some more miles on it!

Just uploaded a new video from my latest trip down to Arkansas! Spent the day exploring Section 1 of the Ozarks BDR-X on the XR150L, including a couple of the harder alternate routes. Had a few unexpected challenges along the way, but that's all part of the adventure! Check it out if you get a chance!

Back on the Honda XR150L for another adventure! This time, I headed...

The World's Fastest Motorcycle Unpacking 😅 I was hopping a log on my Honda XR150L in the Arkansas mountains when my top box decided to unpack itself! Turns out, making sure your top box is latched is pretty important.

KTM appears to be making a pretty strong comeback globally in 2026.

Through July, KTM sales were reportedly up 49.2% worldwide, with some huge increases in places like Germany (+127.8%), India (+96.9%), Italy (+84.6%), and Spain (+80.1%).

But here’s the interesting part for us in the U.S. KTM sales are only up 0.9%, basically flat compared to last year.

So what do you think is holding KTM back in the U.S.? Is it pricing, dealer support, reliability concerns, competition from other brands, or something else?

And more importantly, would you consider buying a new KTM right now?

PSA: Before hopping a log on your motorcycle, always make sure your top box is actually latched.

Just trust me on this one.
