    Just picked up an '08 KLR 650

    I just got back from a 150 mile ride up our local Mt. Hood, backroads gravel and off road. 4000' elevation, bike happily chugged uphill at 75mph mid-throttle w/250lbs. on it. This KLR is possibly the best overall package out there for $5349! Corners an absolute blast at 50-80 mph! I think I...

    Well, I have not ridden the fjr since I started this thread.... At first, i didn't think I was going to like the little klr. It is simply fun to putt around on. Gone 150 miles now, I will give a mileage report in next few days.

Seemed pretty gutless lol, but it is more a sensation of being slow due to the quiet exhaust and the thump thump thump of the big single. Buzzes up to 70 real brisk at mid throttle, I haven't...
