You got the idea - and thanks Mark Baxter. If you ride hard and accurately, you will probably like the other MarkB. He is a good, moral and very PROMPT KLR rider. Try him in the rocks at Death Valley some time if you want a workout. We have had several more-than-minor rides together, so please understand my initial reply and protective nature. It is up to MarkB to contact you, so hang in there, and welcome to KLR world.

Hi there. I am new to the group and am trying to soak up as much information as I can about the KLR650. I currently own a 1200 Sportster, but am not getting all that much enjoyment out of it. I plan to sell it and get a Dual Sport for next spring. I used to have an older Honda NX650 (Dominator) and am trying to decide what to get this time. The KLR650 seems to fit most of my wants. I am also considering the Honda 650L. Can any of you please give me your thoughts, opinions, or whatever about the two. Obviously since this is a KLR group, I know you will all probably not recommend the Honda. Other than my present Sportster, every off road bike or ATV I've owned has been a Honda (plus current auto's), so I am just looking for reassurement I guess in buying a Kawasaki. Thanks in advance for your comments, Matt B.

G'day everyone, My name is Glenn and I live in Australia. I have a 2002 KLR650C (C8) which is the European model. This model seems to have been imported to Australia over many years and there are many still seen on the road. I have had my bike for 2 years and I have made many of the recommended mods to it. It is a great all rounder and I ride it most days. I just discovered this group yesterday and must say that it has the largest number of KLR enthusiasts that I have found on the net. I look forward to sharing with everyone the wonderful experience of owning a unique and serviceable machine. Cheers Glenn

Welcome Glen. Where about in OZ? What I have seen, you live in a great place for a KLR. Al Cooper Medina, Ohio

Welcome. I haven't been to Australia (yet) but have been close. I went to New Zealand in 1990. Quantas is now flying direct from the Dallas area where I live but don't know if I can do 16 hours in coach (heh). I have done about 14 hours on a KLR though. Criswell Sent from my iPad
