    Before LAMS I had a ninja 250 2009...loved it. No issues at all.

    My mate has a ninja 300 and I thought it looked decent too.

    They have been made for years, fairly unchanged. Loads of aftermarket goodies available for them. Very popular for budget adventure riding. They can be had for $9000 brand new.

    They are plenty capable of overtaking cars going 100km/h.

    Big tanks as well which would be handy for big rides.

    I've never heard of any model specific issues with KLRs. Just check the usual stuff, chain, sprockets, brake pads, tire tread, anything broken. Take a test ride, see if it smokes at all, any flat spots, gear changes aren't difficult and it handles fine.
