Like you I prefer simplicity. I reckon that good technology is a great thing and I don't miss buggering about with points and condensers one bit but a lot of new stuff on bikes just makes the end-users life more difficult and I include EFI in that.
I'm in Europe now on a 650 single which is great in tricky conditions but is a literal pain in the arse on long, straight, flat roads and I would rather be on a Strom with a little extra power and a bigger seat right now. Horses for courses. I had a KLR and found it a wheezy little bike with no go. My BMW has more and feels better but the difference is no difference in the real world, day in day out.
For easier touring conditions, I vote more power and easier life, for trickier stuff, I prefer something built to stand the abuse but KLR? Not my cup'o'tea.
