Relief from dreadful RV gas mileage
Hi all y’all,
I had to get some relief from the dreadful gas mileage these RV’s get, hence my new toad, or perhaps Unconcealed Carry Vehicle (UCV) is a more appropriate term.
What you’re looking at is a 1990 Kawasaki KLR 250. I just purchased it the other day for $800. It has less than 8,000 miles on the odometer, weighs 260lbs, can cruise all day at 70mph and gets 60-70mpg. For the time being I’ll be traveling with it and my Dodge Caravan. However, if it turns out to be as useful as I suspect, it’ll be bye bye Caravan, hello Kawasaki! I’ve been looking for one of these bad boys for quite a while. Though my testosterone wanted a KLR 650, at 400lbs I felt it was simply too heavy to easily carry on the rear of my RV.
FWIW for nearly 6 years in college my primary transportation was on motorcycles. Since 1966 I’ve owned about a dozen motorcycles, everything from a Honda 50 to a Honda Goldwing with a 750cc Norton Atlas and a 1947 Indian in between. Any speculation about my imminent crash and subsequent demise will fall on deaf ears.
