Softer?
This is interesting - looks like the KLR is being made into a cheaper version of the F650: more street, less dirt.
The good: * Stiffer, more-rigid suspension * More low-rev torque + more power * Higher electrical output * Stronger brakes The bad: * Less suspension travel * More fragile looking fairing The baffling: * Narrower rear - it never seemed a wide bike * Is the sub-frame held on by better bolts? * No mention of a fix to the balancer chain tensioner problems... Looks like it's gonna be a better bike overall. Shame about the suspension travel reduction, now a lot less than, say, the DR650, but maybe that's balanced by stiffness + adjustability. Will be interesting to hear how old & new compare on the trail  James

I just put a deposit down on an '08 KLR650 that retails for $6900CDN ($400 over the '07 list price at a local dealer here). The first shipments are due in late March/early April.

kick ass blke
Just saw the '08 KLR in Daytona, up close and personal --- no demo rides though --- I sat on it, felt it up, played with it and drooled on it. On looks alone it's light years ahead of the earlier version, imho --- time will tell --- the green one is a must have for me.

I'd rather have 8 inches of good suspension any day over 9 inches of crap. Cheers Dave,
