Brass Monkey Adventure

Well don't get too mad just yet, I have yet to view it myself, but was talking to a guy the other day who was raving about it. I'll check in the morning. Personally I prefer my more 'rough'looking version - end of an era really

If it was just looks - yeah, but the brakes now work, and so do the lights. There's a few tests of them (08s) on the net, eg

Using the latest technology, and the things learned from 20 yrs of the old model, I'm not disputing that technically it's a great bike, but why make it a blousey version of the KLR? , why not build a new bike and call it something new and leave the other model to those of us who like to customise our bikes ourselves. A Supermotard front disc like I've fitted on mine will still pull up better than the new brake :-)
If you look on the Jangles jangling pic above this post, you can just see the disc on mine, along with the fork brace which dramatically improves handling

as for lights, that's an easy fix....

But, no point in squabbling, each to their own. I prefer a bike that really can go off road, has suspension travel, and won't break the bank for panel repairs if you do have an off. Some people just prefer bikes that look smarter :-)

I'll check in the morning and take a pic and post it on here
