[SGT82]

Good Day All, I am in the research stage of purchasing a new dual purpose motorcycle. I have looked at several manufacturers (Husqvarna, Suzuki, and Kawasaki). I like the KLR 650 for obvious reasons (price, fuel caapacity, height of seat, etc... but the Husqvarna is very attractive and appears to have better performance capabilities? I have never owned a dual purpose motorcycle before. I will ride it back and forth to work, which is a 20 mile commute, four lane black top. I also want to be able to take the bike on some single trails. It appears that some factors to consider when purchasing a bike are one's physical features. I am 6"00" and weigh 190lbs. I don't think the 35" seat height of the KLR 650 wil be a problem for me. I am looking for pros and cons so any replies are welcomed. If you know of another dual purpose that may be of interest, please feel free to include the information. Respectfully, Mike C. U.S. Army Retired officer391@...

That sounds like me except for the commut part. My riding is about 99% paved road. I'm very satisfied with my KLR. I installed the 1 1/2 inch lowering links. I prefer both feet on the ground and found the swing over the seat difficult. I'm very pleased. Good mileage, durability, easy to work on, ample power, comfy and a great support following. If I ever wear this one out, I'll be in line for another KLR.
