Thanks to everyone for the detailed replies,
Judging from the responses, as well as the research we've been doing today around several Vancouver bike stores it looks like we will be going for a second hand KLR 650, trying to get it for cheap as possible to leave a margin for repairs/bike prep for our trip.
From what I understand, some pre 2008 KLR's had some issues with the doohickey, so we might look at getting this replaced before our trip (we got a rough quote today for around $400). New tyres, tubes, sprockets and possibly a chain are definitely on the list as well.
Neither of us are particularly technical when it comes to maintenance, so it would be great to see as well what you guys would recommend we replace before our trip. Is there anything crucial we are missing out on here?
We're in the process of contacting a few sellers in the Vancouver area, and hope to get moving at some point late next week. We'll have a blog up shortly as well so we'll be sure to post it up here once its ready!
Thanks again
Julien
