Looks like fun for the trails.

Not as much as you think.

A fully grown adult with years of MC experience will quickly encounter the limits of it's suspension and chassis in mild off road conditions. Even accepting it's limited power, the fun factor would be limited. It's not necessarily a bad thing, tooling around country roads smelling the flowers and gawking around is nice, but not for every ride.

Hey saw the listing for the Scrambler, so it's out. What's the next bike to get you rev'd up?
Sportster or something Indian?

Not sure yet. Got a few things in mind but if it doesn’t sell…won’t be the end of the world.

I've heard good things about KLR's ........

(might just have been the voices in my head though)

VSTROM 650 is at the top of the list. I realized my style of riding is more long distance oriented.

The scrambler is fantastic, but long distance…it’s got its shortcomings where it doesn’t meet that need.

Friends don't let friends drive VStroms

Well if we all make it out to a Burger meetup, you might have a chance to seat test and maybe take a spin from a variety of bikes!

As far as I know there are no VStrom cars to drive.
VStroms are ridden and VStrom owners will not let friends ride KLRs.
lol

Ya got me . Should have said ride. Funny thing is I actually saw a Vstrom in Dover with a sticker that said "friends don't friends ride KLRs"

Thanks for the idea.

I like my KLR friends! having a Milhouse, Beavis, Ned Flanders, or Koothrappali following makes me feel smarter.
