What is the world's most popular selling current bike?

**Padmei** · 5th July 2010, 21:26

So what was the final answer? KLR? DR? XR?

I wasn't thinking of the cub/CT/scootery things but the usual fun/ touring/road/dirtbike type thing.

Any one particular bike?

BTW not worried about the DR klr thing anymore.I'd like to have the DR motor in a KLR frame

Pretty sure the klr is not purchased by the US military now in favour of a purpose built diesel so sales figures may have declined somewhat.

Interested to find out though.

I understand the diesel engine is not KLR (Hayes Diversified make it) but the rest looks pretty familiar

or the petrol one

And, Yes, I would like one, preferably the diesel...

I don't care..I still like my KLR! Ha!

Exactly! KLRistas seem to accept the bikes shortcomings, but love them anyway. DogRooters seem to have tiny-dick syndrome so have to put the KLRs down.
And as for the Eurosnobs...
