appreciate opinions on which bike to get.

went and checked out a 2026 KLX300 today and it felt a lot smaller than i was expecting. especially after sitting on a KLE500, T7, TF450E and even the DRZ4S. obviously it is smaller but i was dead set on it before and now i'm looking at the 400XC instead. BUT my hardhead wants to take a dual sport to BDRs with my buddies on GS1250s just to be that guy.

have the option to get a like new 2021 drz for under $5k or a 2026 white KLX for $5900 all in. OR spend $9k on a brand new triumph 400xc. thanks for reading my rambling, sorry if you made it this far...

edit:
2014 tagged and plated ktm450 xc-w 2,200 miles 72hrs sm setup as well
or
2018 ajp adventure 650 pr7
3,700 miles

just wanted to share what i believe to be a beautiful drum kit.

reached out through facebook messenger to an ad for custom drums made in Argentina. loved what i saw and took a shot. - so glad i did. - had these made back in april '22. 814 team was amazing to work with (all through messenger.) and they took my input and a pic of a piece (made by a friend - shout out Heather Pond in San Diego CA), and created these wonderful drums. even did the florentine gold hardware as a first. i'm super proud of this kit and had the copper snare done last year.

i'll post a vid one day of me playing them.

if you want custom drums i say check them out Ocho Catorce in buenos aires argentina. they ship all over and did payment plan while building them.

i've always wanted to share this kit but never took the time. i also understand some may hate them. but they sound better than they look...

i am the worst photographer. apologies
