    + one double bollocks I hit some hard trails on my old KLR and it smoked them no worries, and I was comfy on the Highways.
    the KLR is the best under $10 k bike on the market period.

    If I didn't already have the best Adv bike ever made then I would seriously consider a KLR. I would get a KLR over a DR.

    Yep - I'm going to pull the trigger on one in the morning.

    They are $AU7,995 ride away for an '11 in Brisbane and it will really suit for in between my new gigs and where I'm living now.

    I take it he's keeping an eye on trademe? Some newish minters have gone for $6K. Some of the owners of earlier ones are asking tooo much when comparing them to the same year DRs - still some owners don't really want to sell.

    You've obviously never gone riding with anyone with a KLR then.

    but it does highlight the major problem with a klr offroad - lack of ground clearance. its also a teeny bit heavy to drag on its side out of a deep muddy rut

    its still the most fun bike I've ever owned (although I tend to think that about whatever bike I've last ridden)

    Pads your bike really surprised me at how well it did the tracks we went on. Bent handlebars, bald tyre and silly screen included.

    I am keeping an eye on TM and am letting him know the options. He aint got no internet but as he's a trained killer I try not to hassle him about it too much.

    Job done. Hopefully picking it up on Saturday.

    I could have bought a DR for the same coin, and it would be a more versatile bike, but the real decider for me was 'which one would I rather ride Brisbane to Sydney?' which is what I'm likely to do more often than a hard-core ADV ride. (I'm quite comfortable doing dirt on the KLR too.)

    Yeah mate - I did make a bit of a production of leaving - short story is the Mrs applied for a job in Mt Wellington and got offered a more senior one in Brisbane.

    I'm now the Australian Correspondent for KR and have picked up some work for the Aus mags as well.

    Most of the new bike releases happen over here now anyhoo.

    Bit of luck I'll be back for the Burt Munro.

    They started hassling you about the "kiwi" accent yet?
