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.

        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.
