A question

[Les Johnson]

      Hello

     I have a 96 GPZ 1100 I purchased 3 yrs ago. I was riding it to
work pretty much everyday (except on possible ice days or downpours).
I was doing this till I purchased a KLR 650. I bought this bike cause
my son had one and wanted me to ride the dirt roads with him. I have a
hard time now staying off it. It' light weight feel and power makes it
fun to ride along with the gas mileage. For longer hwy trips the GPZ
is the bike of choice for me and I still plan to keep it.

     Les J  Eugene, Or

My opinion changed after reading a bit about them and riding around Silverton with Northrop on his KLR. Insurance is 500$ yr instead of 1500$, the bikes are cheap as Borscht (mine cost 3200$ a year old with 7k miles Givis and other farkles)tires cost 100$ installed, plastic costs 450$ for the complete bike inc. fenders, they are nimble and great around the city, even on the highway they are not bad if you keep them under 70, curbs and gravel roads are welcomed by the KLR, 2 up is not great but what bike really is?
