Thanks for your input DLbiten. Guess it should be Oregon or California then. I just read that in California it can take up to 6-8 weeks to get the final registration papers. I can deal with this, but it would be sooo much easier to get them before I leave the states.
Work space. I had thought about the option of doing it at camp sites and so on. Only problem is that I am not a great mechanic (not a complete tosser either) and that the bike will probably need quite extensive upgrading.
I guess you just have to spend dollars and time on different things if you buy a DL compared to a KLR. Or would I be much cheaper off in upgrades if I compare a stock DL to a stock KLR? I think the new version has bridget the quality gap a bit between the KLR and the DL, but well. I am lost, because I simply don't know. I think I will just go for the best possible deal all in all. With that I mean: as ready a bike as possible for the most fair price (not cheapest, but value for money since I don't want to pay for fancy names and stickers)
I don't know how the roads are in Central and South America, but I would hate to miss out on to to much because my bike wouldn't go there.
Thanks
Peter
