I've owned a pre '08 KLR and ridden some well set up ones with all the good stuff done. But after riding the '08 I felt it was a MUCH nicer bike. Better brakes, smoother, better handling. Still needs some work but a very nice improvement on the original KLR.
Some early '08 KLR's had severe oil consumption problems which is attributed to parts suppliers to the Thai made KLR. Kawasaki have dealt with this problem and replaced quite a few motors. New KLR's no longer have this problem.
