Hello-I was at my friendly neighborhood Kawasaki dealer looking for a KLR
650-he had a 2000 but someone had put a deposit on it. I also spied a KTM
640 and was able to take a ride on it. Is anyone out there familiar with
the KTM 640 and how it compares to the KLR (besides costing a fair amount
more)?

I think you're right if you look state-side. You may have more luck abroad
since in Europe as I recall there were tons of small displacement
dual-sports on the road. I looked into a smaller bike for my girlfriend a
while back and determined that the XT 225 has a decent following I guess due
to the electric start. I also remember seeing more than a few folks on this
list with KLR 250's so if you find anything you may end up helping a bunch
of folks out. Anyone on the other side of the pond able to provide more
insight than I? I'd be interested in knowing exactly how many KLR 250's are
out there? Cheaper, more jumpable/flickable, toss it over your shoulder when
you are ready to go home, throw on some big honkin' knobbies... hmmmmmmm
Good Luck!
