General
By (I am an Enthusiast) on Feb 08, 2012I ridden bike of and on for 35 years now that I am older, I look for, practicality, or over all verity it a bike. Having been through; Triumph, Harley, Honda, Yamaha, and Kawasaki: I now find the KLR Kawasaki to be the most all round bike one could possibly have. Comfort on the long road, and if ... the situation warrants, no fear, the ( KLR 650 ) , without fault will take you there as well. Point being, forget all the macho crap or/ or not, this bike will deliver, and showing up is 99% of the game.
