I've found nothing but good things about this bike and I think it will suit me great. My question is .... I'm 6'4" tall and over 300 pounds. Will this be a problem for the KLR650? Also, is it a good first bike? Dutchman

Dutch, No problems, I am 6'4", 250, and it does great. it is a very forgiving bike, and is a great first bike. I tell everyone that is thinking about getting a first bike to look into them.(although the "need for speed" stuff seems to have taken hold here) Fireman Ed

heyas - size and weight won't be a problem...it's a tall bike so you'll probably find it more comfy anyways. PLENTY of torque, and fairly mild mannered too. Handling is forgiving enough for a beginner but quick enough to make things exciting in the twisties for more experienced riders. makes a great first bike, second bike, last bike

I notice the carolina in your username, north or south? Have you sat on one yet? hux --- In DSN_klr650@yahoogroups.com, "Lee Carroll" wrote:

I pretty much retracted the email later and didn't mean anything negative anyway. Smoking? I wish. I am required to have a commercial drivers license and the random drug testing that goes along with it. Alan L Henderson A13 Iowa
