[QUOTE="MrZappo, post: 1412748, member: 62424"] I'll respond to that 😁 I get the idea. And agree to some extent. But, here is a thing to think about. I have a 2002 KLR. And a 2008 FJR. And my next bike will likely be a 1290 KTM of some variation. A buddy of mine sent me a pic of a new KTM 790. Asked me what I thought. I said, I bet you would feel really bad when you drop it. Which you will. We ride all over. On FJR's and KLR's. If I ever dropped my FJR I'd cry a little. When I drop my KLR (a lot), I laugh. If I dropped my brand new shiny KTM 790, I'd need a therapist. So is a KLR great ? Nope. Do I love riding mine with friends where she is on the ground a lot ? Yep. Do I care when it happens ? Nope. I have fun on both bikes as I will on my KTM when my wife clears me to get one !😂 Either way. Great friends, great rides. Bike ? Love em all. For me it aint about that. I'm often wrong though. And this is just something to consider. [/QUOTE]
