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.

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
Yes the desire for fast bike is hard to ignore. I find I get beat up and exhausted on the faster bikes, the KLR is chill mode.
ya i bet
much more active riding. unless im doin double tracks
