My son and I have had a total of 2 KLR's each. We currently have
the 2004 models.
There seems to be little difference in any of them except the
color. The red color just seems to make it ride better. It
definitely makes it look better than the green. JOHO, having had
both colors.
The bike will not do everything well, but it does most things
well enough to satisfy us. The price is right, and the KLR list
will provide you with everything you need to know to upgrade and
maintain the bike. The bike is also very cheap to purchase. We
love 'em.

I would buy a KLR because its fun to ride. Its low maintenance so you get
more time to have fun to ride. Its about the best multipurpose bike on the market
so I can have fun riding most anywhere. Its a passable enough touring bike
that I can go somewhere else and have fun riding. Its low cost enough so I have
the money to go somewhere else to have fun riding. Once you've been bitten by
a KLR there is no known cure. Can I hear an amen from the congregation?

I rode over 30,000 miles last year. 24,000 of that was on the KLR. The
other five bikes only got 6,000 miles between them, if that tells you
anything.
Many people on this list like to bad-mouth Kawasaki for the imperfections of
the KLR, but nobody will discourage you from buying one. For the price, it's
hard to beat.
