So is this all a joke? should I expect the '2005 klr to be the exact
same bike as the '04? except hopfully I better color. or is it being
modified? and when could I get a 2005 in canada? I want it next
spring, don't like pink... maby I'll just get a 2003.

From: a silent observer and KLR owner.
That post, at first unbeleveable, made me so geared for a '05 that I was thinking how I would get the $$$ together. ( Not that I'm unhappy with my stock A14, it stomps on the Earth.) I am disappointed and have wasted valuable thougt time on how nice the dream '05 would be. Now, for a probing question, The desire is out there for a rough-housing dual sport good for the highway and f-ed grizzy trail without the KLR weaknesses. If the dream '05 were for real how much would you pay for it over the $5000, like the '03?
I also think the '04 color s OK, once you drop the bike on both sides and get a good mud/oil sludge on the rest of it.

You can buy something close to that now, a KTM Adventure. Or for
something a little more stripped down but just as sexy there is the
LC4 Enduro. Some day, some day......

Yep, and if you order parts for your KTM Adventure today, you may
actually get them by '05.

NO KIDDING... My buddy ordered a seat about 4 weeks ago and it is still
not here. His other parts have been slowly dribbling in over the past
few days and he was JUST able to get enough of the parts to get the bike
back on the road yesterday. This after a fairly nasty crash.
