    Bloody typical noisy KLR owner.
    No consideration at all.
    Never mind - I understand that having to make-do with inferior equipment can be really frustrating -at least that's what I'm told.
    I may not be as good as I once was, but I'm as good once as I always was.

    thet are for different markets
    the klr is an adventure bike
    the dr is an "trail" bike...

    Well you are entitled to your opinion, but it is my opinion that this thread exists mainly for us to take the piss out of each other.
    So far, it has only occasionally reached its objective, mainly because a topic that matters not one whit in the real world, regularly gets taken seriously.
    Bugger!

    More trail biased than the KLR but still an adventure bike.

    Fortunately I think the regular contributors all know its just a bit of fun, is exactly as you eloquently described, and luckily do not leave their sense of humour at the door when they log on!

    We all know DR's & KLR's are two different sides of the Adventure bike grouping, one a bit more trailie orientated and one a bit more cruisy orientated!

    That being said, what kind of numpty buys an adv bike whose fairing crumples into a gazillion pieces if you just sneeze on it?

    (probably the same kind of numpty who buys an adv bike with a paper thin sump case and then rides it with no bashplate! )

    Cheers, Dave

    There's nowt special about this argument.
    Substitute KTM 950Adv for DR, and GS1200 for KLR, and you could repeat the whole thing...

    After taking the KLR on a "trail" ride it performed ok as a trail bike, and if the fairing does smash into small pieces it doesn't matter cos they look even better naked.
    I mentioned vegetables once, but I think I got away with it...........
