[QUOTE="woodsy, post: 433856, member: 27856"] Quinton: You have uncovered a very unique situation that a real close friend of mine just went thru. He bought (against my advice) a brand new KLR 650 Kawasaki for WAY under retail because the dealer just could not get rid of it! He paid $4000 out the door for the bike and REQRETTED it for the following 2 years/just traded it in! Throughout the entire time he owned the bike many discussions took place in our riding circles about what exactly the bike would be good for! It was WAY to soft for any of the highspeed fire laning we do, way to much room and tank size (like 4.5 gallons) for tight woods riding! Bike was awesomely plush though and the rear riding potential was the BEST of any bike any of us had ever owned!! I was out in Utah this summer and was shocked to see how popular they are for Mountain touring, backpacking, ect... The bike was definitly in its element out there as it could for for hours on a tank of gas and very realiable!! I think the XR650 is also a great bike (there are 3 in our group - 1 is the L model) but they dont have the excellent rear riding capabilites that the KLR does! Perhaps you should look closely at the KLR, price them out!! They are very inexpensive here! Hope this helps/good luck in your search! Woodsy [/QUOTE]
