Went shopping for new boots, brought home a front tire for one of the dirt bikes. Thankfully, like all KLR riders, I had bungies in the bag.

    They suck at everything... but they can DO everything. They're also cheap, even brand new, so they tend to be a first bike for a lot of people.

    they really can do everything

    i love my klr. ya she kinda slow but she handles corners pretty well and ive taken her down some pretty rowdy trails. dropped her like i dont even know how many times. she keeps tickin

    i think the prinipal of driving something slow, fast is more fun that driving something fast, slow. if that makes any sense. i can whip the shit out my pig, dunno if id do that on a panigale

    And it's still pretty comfy to tour on the back roads. They use a nice thick seat, which is unusual for anything that is marketed for dualsport use.

    1000%

    did my first 2k+ trip on her last summer. with a little sheepskin i wasn't totally miserable

    from what i know about the DR and CRF, i dont think i would be sayin the same

    I had the CRF250L for about 8 years, and I loved that little thing. But no, long trips were not great. The KLR is WAY more comfortable.

    ya im glad i went with the klr

    i was super sold on the small bike life before i rode the klr.

    i may get a faster bike, but i dunno if ill ever dump the 650 cuz its just so reliable. great 2nd bike
