[QUOTE="FJRBandit, post: 1296821, member: 17365"] There have been a few comments regarding the KLR in this thread. i previously owned a KLR and kept it less than 6 mos. It just felt like a slow machine and didn't meet my needs. Although it too is a 650, the single cylinder of the KLR is no match for the Wee V-twin. The power between the two bikes is literally night and day. I once rode with some guys on R-1's who weren't familiar with the V-strom's power and they were amazed at how that little bike will go. Also keep in mind that the V-strom is fuel injected whereas the KLR is carbureted and all the fun that can offer at times. [IMG]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/no.gif[/IMG] Now, if you are leaning more towards true dirt with some distance riding, the KLR might be the direction to go. But if you are more of an occasional fire road, dirt/gravel rider, nothing too extreme, that could still tour right along side the FJR if you wanted, have a blast in the twisties and a near perfect commuter, then the Wee is the way to go. Mine is set up for the Prudhoe Bay ride and all that would entail, and just itching for the chance to go someday! [/QUOTE]
