[QUOTE="WR 250, post: 108551, member: 17697"] The biggest problem for me is my height. I'm 5'5" so the majority of the D-P bikes are too tall for me. I can ride a 36" seat height no problem on a light weight dirt bike, and I've ridden a +37" on my old WR 250 but it was a little bit too tall to be manageable so I sold it. The KLR was slightly too tall but someone on here mentioned that they have a lowering kit for the KLR's. I need to look further into it. The BMW has a 30" seat height and feels really good. However, I've decided to wait and save up my money before buying anything this year. The BMW financing deal wasn't what I thought in that you chose between .9% financing for up to 5 years or take $1000 off the price. The bike is already really pricey at the MSRP of $8600. The KLR sells for $5000. Anyhow, my wife just talked to a couple guys who rode into town from Kansas on KLR's and they loved the bikes. The one guy was as tall as me and had a lowering kit on his. I'll just continue to research and save until I can pay cash for a new bike next summer. I'd like to check out that Husquavarna a guy told me about. Cycle World said it had a low seat height. They had a KTM at the BMW dealer I was at and I didn't even try to swing a leg over since it looked pretty tall. I don't remember if it was a 640 or a 400 something. [/QUOTE]
