Are you sure it wasn't a European Swallow? That would mean that your speedo
is only slow by 5 mph at 60 indicated.

I just sold my BMW R1150GS with the same intention. Simple is better in many
ways. The KLR seems to be an excellent example of a down to the basics
motorcycle. No, it doesn't have the latest techno gadget, or perform at the
leading edge of motorcycle advancement, but it does do what a motorcycle is
supposed to do. In my book it is also just plan more fun to ride than my
beemer was.
Now I am just speaking from my first experience of riding the KLR this
weekend, not from having owned the bike for a time. I got a nice taste of its
capabilities though and I am trying to find one in better shape than the one
I test road. I probably will end up buying a new one, I mean compared to what
we paid for those Bavarian money wasters why not!
