Do you ever get the urge to try something totally different?

[QUOTE="LgFJR, post: 526582, member: 13463"] After 35 bikes or so I have ended up with the two best.......FJR and 06 KLR.......these cover both ends of the spectrum. There are better dirt bikes, lighter and nimbler, but all around the KLR wins. The other lighter and nimbler dual sports get that way with air cooling or little gas tanks, after that big tank on the FJR you won't be happy with any less than the 6 gallons on the big K. Big and simple the K is simply sublime on two lane twisties or fire roads, you can throw it around at will, and in the slow stuff it actually is more fun than the FJR. You can haul the KLR around in the back of a truck, and I took mine up to Oregon a couple summers back and just had a blast with it, the best of all worlds. Air conditioned cruise control luxury on the boring slab and then unleash the beast for a run to the beautiful Oregon coast. KTM's and Beemers might be better, but you will eventually dump something out there in the brush, you will cry a lot less, and be able to fix up one of Mama Kaws scoots a whole lot cheaper than that Euro trash................buy one (cheap !) and finish your assimilation.............
