This is a great thread as currently I am looking at a bike for a 12 months trip round Sth America in about 12-15 months time and the KLR had been on the shopping list. I have a couple questions for those knowledgeable ones in particular...
How do you think the new one rates given the specs as it seems to address some of the concerns with lights, doohicky, seat, "A high-capacity 36W alternator powers a new higher-output headlight" better spokes, stronger suspension (although less travel) etc etc. So does it seem like it will be a better travel bike? Motorcycle Daily
My other question is a few people mention vibration about the singles and i realise the thread is KLR Vs f650 but why has no-one mentioned the Honda Transalp? It is also a bike that is in the ring for me at the moment and i was a bit surprised to see that it had not been mentioned. We can still get them new in Australia whereas i know in other parts of the world you cannot so maybe that is why? How do they compare?
Thanks
Chris
