I smashed the plastic of my own KLR while learning I wasnt as good an off-roader (Dusty Butt 1000) as I thought I was. I bought some second hand bits off E-bay and repaired the rest. The KLR is a great bike to ride, its not a KTM off road and its not an R1 on the road, but it does most things pretty damn well. Its a bit tall if you're vertically challenged, but comfortable, plenty of room to move around, a sensible riding position, economical on fuel.
I have changed a few things on mine, (KX500 USD forks, EM 685 piston, EM doohickey, GSX750R titanium muffler, hot grips, alloy bashplate) mostly cos I wanted to. They have a massive following overseas, lots of forums and FB groups. Huge aftermarket accessory availability. They have been in continuous production with mostly cosmetic changes since about 1987 - they must have been doing something right.
it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.
those cheap ass bitches can do anything with ductape.
