[QUOTE="Shane, post: 618806, member: 97"] It's not that I don't love the FJR, it's that the KLR is the one that fits the situation most of the time. If I did rallies like I used to, then the FJR would see more saddle time. As it is now, most of my riding is in commuting and bombing around little-used country roads for up to several days at a time. If I really have to get somewhere far and fast, it's the FJR, particularly if the Wife is along. KLR--plenty of luggage capacity, simple machine, great mileage, ugly enough to not be messed with when parked, and really tall--just "easier" for everyday use. It also has an aftermarket that won't quit. With the 685 big bore, any (reasonably assertive) desired traveling speed is possible, particularly on tight roads. But for really fast high-speed work, there are much better machines. They are fantastic garage mates, but if I could only have one...........and I never thought I would have had this opinion 4 years ago. Thanks for asking, Shane [/QUOTE]
