[QUOTE="TexKDX, post: 611368, member: 16276"] The KLR feels like a street bike and is very comfortable there. Way less comfortable on dirt, and won't do single track worth a hoot. The DRZ is a hooligan bike on the street and has a cheek splitter seat. Can do about anything short of trials on dirt. You make the call on what kind of compromise you want. If you want a dirt oriented bike that handles the street really well, it is hard to beat the XR600 honda. The 650L weighs 45 pounds more, has the e-button, works very well in the dirt with a few mods. The XR6 is a superior bike if you can live without the button. Mine starts easily and reliably with kick. KTM 640s are hooligan bikes with hard seats and mucho vibration compared to all the above. The Suzy DR650 is about as good a street bike as the KLR but WAY better in the dirt, more along the lines of the 650L with a lower seat height. Smallish tank needs replaced with a Clarke if you want to do the distances it is comfortable at. I had a KLR and fitted it all out, did alot of riding with it. If I had to do it all over again, I'd get the DR650 and fit it out. Happy Trails makes some good adventure touring gear for it. [url]www.happy-trail.com[/url] - check it out. good luck! Leo. [/QUOTE]
