The 690R is a dual sport, not an enduro.
Name of the bike. It happens to be slapped right on the side and on this green piece of paper I have to carry around.
With street oriented tires and some suspension tuning, it's more than solid enough on the road. Can take twisties well above HTA 172 territory, like double... on an 80 road.
With knobbies, it's really good offroad. Not excellent. Nothing over 300 lbs it's amazing offroad. The lighter the better.
Power is off the charts for an off road bike. That LC4 engine is superb. Torque is excellent, the front doesn't like staying on the ground...
My experience with the KLR was pretty sad. There's so many other bikes in the price range of a KLR (new) that are way better for whatever you want to do, whether it's on road, off road or both. It's super heavy, sluggish and the suspension is terrible on and off road.
A WR450 would be amazing as a multi purpose bike if you could find one blue plated. Triumph, KTM, Yamaha, BMW, Husqvarna, Beta and even Honda produce much better multi purpose machines than the Kawi. It comes down to personal preference and budget.
Have a serious look around and try out a ton of multi purpose bikes before you settle for the worst of the pack. KLR owners love their machine, but it's usually not the only bike in their stable.... For quite a few reasons. There's more smiles per gallon elsewhere. Mind you, parts are cheap.
Some people don't like honest opinions, and that's fine.
