And not everybody thinks they are Ugly, personally I don't like the look of the KTM690 but don't usuely do the troll thing and tell the owner on a reply to their post.
This was not a personal attack and I didn't realise you were shallow enough to take it that way. Sorry.
Forum whore
It wasn't a personal attack as its not like I look like my bike, lets be honest your comment was a bit trolly something I have an equal right to point out
What bike do you own so we access if its ugly or not(not that I'd say if it was as that would be rude)

The DR650 needs the forks and dash from the DR250...

Its interesting how Suzuki and Kawasaki have taken the old fashion approach with making a good product that works and not messing with it to much, that's seems to work for some of us and I'm coming back from all that trick Euro stuff back to basics as it seems to work
A resent case in point some guys who own 690's bought DR's to go over seas on a big adv ride, one guy took a Euro he didnt make it to the end but non of the DR's broke down, that's what you need
Dont get me wrong, love my KTM, but it can be annoying when you ride up the road only to have it stop and have to come back and grab a Japa
PS. what about some RM upsidedown forks ?

My 350 has been a little gem. Stood up to 5 years of being my main commuter with occasional off road or gravel trips to dip my toe in the off road arena. Not too serious though as it was my main ride. 40.000 is not much on a Hayabusa. But it is on a 4x2. I only took her off the road because she started leaking oil on the longer commute since I moved out of Auckland but still work there. Probably going to clean her up and start using her for getting to know the Waikato. Now she is my main ride maybe I can get a few adventure rides in. 1 dayers to start. Two, two and under rules out longer trips for the moment.Perhaps you outa go back to the dealer and try the New Edition KLR as it has suspension upgrades which make it feel very KTMish, 40% stiffer in the front and 60% stiffer in the rear and you really can feel the difference (I had to actually soften the rear from stock for my 85kgs as it was a bit tight on the road for me)
No need to spend a dime on Suspension (unless you want to do motorcross maybe)

PS: DR350 was one of those iconic bikes and probable very deserving of its good rep for the purpose it was intended (Short range adventures)

Got a WR250 usd front end hanging in The Emporium.
Since installing the Intiminators and springs however, I haven't been inclined to go to all the effort of fitting it.

Your in range of our rides also and would be welcome, i'm sure the 350 would have np problems keeping up with some ugly KLR's
Will keen on return from PNG mid November

Need new throttle cable, a good degrease and see if u can find the leak first, bit definitely looking for some intro riding.
Only really done a few fire breaks arc so far.
I like the look or the KLR. Reminds me of gonzo, but it khans a look of utilitarian go anywhere about it.
At 140 kgs plus gear I have to be picky though.
