A little visitor

So I bought another bike last night. It's not mine (honestly!) though, it's for my dad. He has been looking for a dual sport with lower seat height, and I recently happened upon an older KLR 250 in the paper up here. Based on the color scheme, can you guess the year? I'll leave it a mystery for now. Wendy noted that it's not much smaller than my 650 (seen in the background). While it is a bit shorter, the radiator / fan assembly adds some bulk to counter the smaller engine size. Another clue for the age guessers: it's kick-start only. Now if it would just run... but that's for another blog post.
