[QUOTE="WR 250, post: 101472, member: 17697"] Wow 21,000 miles! I was curious how the KLR held up. Is the KLR the same as the old KLX 650? I seem to remember from the old magazine tests that the KLX had a problem with overheating. I don't know if that is an issue for the KLR. The BMW's were the first bikes I considered of since I see a lot of tourists on them during the summers. I checked out the 1150 and 650 when I was in Fairbanks and was shocked by the prices. The 650 didn't seem like a huge improvement over the KLR, DR or Honda. I'm curious how the dual purpose bikes treat you on a long ride on pavement, say 200 miles. So far everyone who has street bikes in town tells me I'm crazy to consider a dual sport since, according to them, they tire you out too much. Is that true? Both Dave'sDRZ and spankymarker mentioned the seat. Is it really bad? What tires you out, vibration, wind, seating postion? Finally does the DRZ400S cruise along at speed as easily as a DR650S? They are the same price and the 400 weighs 40lbs less. If I go by Dirt Bike's buyers guide, they said the 400 was the bike to get. But, I hold Dirt Bike suspect when it comes to recommending bikes. It seems like if it isn't a brand new design then it isn't worth a poop. [/QUOTE]
