    Maybe a repost. I did not see it on a search.
    I am thinking of getting rid of my SPrint and getting something like this.

    I dunno, they took the good parts of the KLR away and left the crappy ones. No thanks, not for that kinda money.

    Doesn't matter much to me. Even it's the same price, I'd rather have a pre '07. Tried and true, real dirt/road bike.

    I found out I dont want to ride Hard core trails. Roads, dirt roads occasional logging trail maybe.
    I cant afford to get a ticket on the sprint at some of the speeds we run at.
    I will sell you the KLX if you are interested.

    Looks like they added a lot of junk to it, oh well good for me, that means pre 07's will be cheaper.

    The good part is that it will cost more when you drop it, that has to be an advantage.

    A lot of negative comments on something that no one has really seen yet.
    Interesting.....

    I bought my KLR for the reasons they removed for '07. It's pretty obvious in the pictures and articles about the bike what it is going to be like.

    RE

    Riding a KLR is just like riding a donkey. The donkey may be a little faster though, and you can pull a cart.

    I used to own a DR650. Too friggin' big for it's own good. Sucked in the woods/sucked on the street.

    Dual Sports suck ass!!! Equus asinus does too!!
