[QUOTE="Shane, post: 1194188, member: 97"] Yep, have an '06 in the stable...ride it all the time. As mentioned above, suspension upgrading is a must for those of us who are "above average" in size. Doohickey also mentioned is a must-do, and I went ahead and put in a Schnitz 685 big-bore kit in one weekend about 5-6 years ago. They are not without quirks, and there is much on the internets about how to deal with eliminating most of the potential failure points. I've ridden it in the desert off-road, and toured with it, and keep several different front sprockets handy for gearing changes anytime. The aftermarket support is huge, and anyone I've ever known who has one has a list of modifications longer than you'd believe. If you're into blasting around small roads, getting lost, and not caring, the KLR might be right for you. Here's a pic of mine last Spring: [IMG]https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v229/Shanebo/IMG_20131005_154628_853_zpskmw8hjpo.jpg[/IMG] All the best, Shane [/QUOTE]
