My background: I have owned over 30 different motorcycles in 22 years of ridding. This KLR is the best so far. It's a 'do it all' motorcyle, easy to ride and handle, comfortable, economical in gas(50 to 60mpg), very low maintenance, easy to work on and very affordable. With the 6.1 L tank you can tour on it over 300 miles with one tank. The bike handles good on the street and excellent in the dirt, tons of aftermarket parts for it. Some of the components are outdated like the 36mm forks but if works fine, why mess with it? Also no expensive name brand parts on it, just good quality proven components. Best of all the bike looks cool, it's huge and very tall. There are a few bikes that look bigger than this thing (larger size DUAL-PURPOSE bikes like the KTM's). It's also light. I love the way people look at you in this thing, you can almost hear them thinking: 'Hey, you can't ride that thing in the street!' I recommend this bike to anyone that had sport bikes, cruisers or standards and is looking for something different. My only gripe is the bike should have a 6th gear for long rides on the freeway, but it performs good with the 5 speed too. This is a great Enduro!
Upgrades/Accessories: Tank bag and rear lift kit(1 extra inch).
