John, I've been using a Garmin eTrex Legend. I got it from www.amazon.com for $134 last December. The screen is small but works fine for me. It uses AA batteries and you can get a power cord off eBay for about $10 plus shipping. I use a Ram mount bought from www.cycoactive.com . I just bought the Garmin Mapsource TOPO US which is suppose to be for the entire US at 1:100,000 scale. I haven't received it yet but it seems to be the correct software for downloading excellent maps. I purchased it from eBay for $70 plus $12 S&H. Last night I saw it on amazon.com for $79 and shipping was free. I have a friend who uses a Garmin GPS V and he's happy with it. The screen is just a tad larger than the eTrex but the price is a tad larger too.

According to "What Bike" magazine, (published in the UK)Kawasaki sells a rebadged version of the V-Strom in Europe. It has a slightly different fairing and instruments. I have wondered if the fabled "new KLR" would be more v-twin-ish and bigger/heavier. Eric --- mark217 wrote:

One too many cylinders. -E

The kicker is will it sell for $5000 USD?

The engine is interesting if they kept it small and light enough. Are the people that design the appearance of new motorcycles on crank or what? Alan Henderson A13 Iowa

As I noted elsewhere, it has too many cylinders. However, I will say that Kawasaki must be beaming mind control beams around. Just the other day, I was thinking to myself, "a V-twin like the V-strom is just too complicated for a 650cc bike, why can't someone create a parallel twin like the old Triumphs or the old Japanese twins?" A water-cooled 650cc parallel twin isn't going to be much wider than a V-twin in today's age of water cooling if properly designed, and should be lighter since it shares the camshafts and etc... but it still has too many cylinders for a bike like the KLR that is proud to be as simple as is possible to be while still being a motorcycle. It'd make an awesome V-strom competitor though.

A KLR rider is in no position to criticize the appearance of other motorcycles (heh!). -E

Methinks "NO" add $2K for the new and improved. --- Mike Peplinski wrote:
