We KLR 650 owners love them . It is the Land Rover of bikes except it does better on the open road. | ||||||
| If you want to be hunched over something which outperforms a Lamborgini this isn`t the bike for you. I bought this bike because I had to get out of my drive way, 1/2 a mile of unmade road then drive elsewhere. This is a fun bike, a trailie on steroids. Geared nicely for off-road from 1-3 then works well from 3-5 on the open road. The ride height is 33 inches which means if you are under 5 foot 9, well... no. On the plus side you can see over a Range Rover. Front end dives as reported and it`s not the greatest ride over 90 mph (hairy) but the fairing gives much better protection than you would believe. |
