OK I'm not I'm really really stoked
My brand spanking new hot off the boat 08 KLR650 was delivered this morning & it was only fitting I took an afternoon off from crawling around in ceilings & basements to bond with it.
It is all I dreamed it would be & more

I am running it in nicely so did 50kms over the whangamoas then got the dealer to replace the oil & filter. I then went & showed it off to my mates (who made appropriate ooh & aah noises as expected with a new baby)
First impressions:
A lot smoother & more power than I expected (& I know they aren't up to much powerwise in comparison).
Very easy to ride & good turning circle. Large tank - took so long to fill I thought it was running out the bottom...
Seat is a tad hard but I guess I will get used to it & is easy to stand up to relieve the stiffness (teeheehee)
A lot of wind noise vs my lil naked bike but very warm behind the fairing & hand protectors.
All in all I am very very happy with my purchase & am looking forward to many cool trips
And KLRs pull cool chicks
