Picked up the new KLR this afternoon. Was able to put about 50 miles
on it after work. Although I had a 1998 KLR, after 3 years on a
Goldwing I forgot how much fun it can be to ride a bike that can go
pretty much anywhere. The bike is a blast, even if I have to keep it
under 4000 rpm's.
Since there are no real changes in the bike to report to this board,
I guess the only thing I can really add so far is my reaction to the
new color scheme. I think the bike looks great. The combination of
black and deep red, with silver and a touch of gold all work together
really well. It turns a lot of heads and has people approaching it
when it is parked for a closer look. There is a lot more black on it
than I thought it would have, including the seat, and I think it
works.

Finnally had some nice weather and put on about 20 miles after work.
Coming to a stop sign a few kids were by the intersection, one said
out kinda loud "Wow, thats a really nice dirt bike". I have been
enjoying the bike on the road so much, I actually forget it is
a "Dual-Purpose" bike. My buddy in work keeps asking me when we are
going riding off-road, he has a 3 wheeler, and a "Raptor". I tell
him, "what are you - nuts, me get this bike in dirt?" For now, I
can't imagine taking this nice looking machine to the dirt trails
off roading. I love the bike. Glad I didnt get the XR650L, this
definitly was the best choice for me..........

Since Kawasaki was kind enough to print all the conversion formulas in the
back of their shop manuals I took the time to transfer it into a spreadsheet.
