[QUOTE="sparkymarky, post: 101484, member: 21936"] the drz seat is a real dirt bike seat,narrow and hard. good for offroad, not good for planting your butt on for hours. as for the klr, most klr owners would not consider 200 miles to be a particularly long ride. i'm good for about 10 hrs/day of riding, after that i get tired. it would probably be the same on any bike. compared to most of the more dirt-worthy dual-sports, the klr has: 1. better wind protection. the little toy fairing actually keeps all the wind off your chest. 2. smoother engine. vibration is not a problem for me at all. 3. wider seat. 4. more weight, which might make it less susceptible to cross winds. i rode my klr from riverside CA to la paz a couple months ago. 2 1/2 days down, several days lounging and drinking, then 2 days back. i was tired, but i'd expect to be after 1500 miles of mixed dirt and pavement. i also rode to moab and back last year. note that the klr650 is a completely different bike than the klx650, and significantly more reliable from what i understand. check out [url]http://www.dualsport.org/[/url] for more klr info. there's also a review of the dr650. the dr is physically too small for me (i'm 6-2). i agree that bmw's are way overpriced. they're also significantly heavier than even the klr, which is just ridiculous. you might consider checking out the klr owners group on yahoo. there are lots of guys on that group with 30k or more miles. one fellow is up around 80-90k now on his, with no problems at all. email me at [email]mweaver@niku.com[/email] if you have trouble finding the klr mailing list. mw [/QUOTE]
