My KLR 650

The KLRs are going for cheap here. Was thinking about it as a commuter bike, but after reading this little thread I think not.

People love them as commuter bikes, I put this one on the highway and went for a long ride, not its intended purpose, although the new grips did make a world of difference

try one... they're nice for commuting... my DRZ is awesome for commuting... but I don't get on the freeway. but can slice through traffic like nothing, get 55mpg easy... and can go all week on one 4 gal tank (20 miles one way to work)

the KLR's have a bigger tank 6 gal... but get about the same MPG... have more torque and about the same hp... but they weigh more.
