Opinions wanted 640 LC4 Adventure

Hey folks.

I am in the market for a new bike and have been seriously considering the 640 Adventure. I saw this bike yesterday in the showroom however was unable to ride it. I want to know how this bike performs off-road in comparison to the KLR 650 (which I own) I like my KLR but she is getting long in the tooth and I would like something a bit more exotic Any maintenance issues surrounding the 640? How does she stand up to long distance touring as well as daily commuting? Whould I need to outfit her with a good set of enduro tires to do some serious off road riding?

Any opinions appreciated.

Im 3 years old Adventure owner (silver). I was two weeks ago in Africa. This bike is very good hard enduro bike with many adventages and disadventages.
+: very good suspension, strong engine, big tank (28l), almost good weight, boomb proof chassis, many parts&accesories on market,
-: parts no to cheap, problems with Mikuni carburator , vibrations, service is expensive and hard for rookie to do it, seat is too hard for ass, you must very good check bike because a little errors are normal thing.
