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.

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.
