aren't we a helpful bunch GB!?

i kinda liked the 93 KLR. 

And Hank and I have owned an loved many of the same models of bikes.  We just like splitting hairs on the drz vs klr debate.   

I still think he's on the fence about how awesome my 83 GL650 is though.

Hey, this is the aforementioned "other son", although I'd contest that designation and suggest it be used for my little brother (Zippopotamus here) instead.

I do like the DRZs but as I'll probably be riding on asphalt a lot more than dirt, I'm leaning heavily towards a KLR. As for the older KLRs, I really prefer the second gens and they'll probably last me a little longer as well (I'd hope). Although I tell you what, I'd jump on that Dakar in an instant if it wasn't 10 hours away and 75k miles already.

I'll give all your links another look when I talk to GB, I trust his judgment pretty implicitly. There were definitely a few there that looked like a good shot, although like I said, I'm trying to avoid traveling more than 4 hours or so for pickup.

Thanks so far everyone.

Welcome, and this is what we do..........talk about nothing and try to spend other people's money!  LD

seraph1337 your looking at this all wrong, the farther it is, the better the first ride and adventure. As far as 75,000 on the Dakar, its just broke in. BMW you know. Plus, there is a little rally next weekend in the high mountain of Walden Colorado, fly to Denver ride to Walden. I will escort you home if that helps.

Hank-

Guess I lied.  Wife and friends changed up our plans; we'll be east of Fergus not on Detroit over the weekend.   Have fun on the water.

I do believe a 78 (or 77) KE175 was my first motorsickle.
