2008 klr versus wee vstrom

Post by C L Cooper » Wed Mar 28, 2007 5:58 pm

I just read the Motorcycle Daily review of the Aprilia SXV and RXV 450/550's. I can see why you're still waiting for a call... From the write-up all four are pretty impressive bikes. 60 hour service intervals. Hmmmm, 60 hours at 60 mph would be ~3600 miles. That's not too bad. Chuck C

Posted by: "dochstader" dochstader@... sidecarklr Wed Mar 28, 2007 1:22 pm (PST) For, even gravel roads, the V-strom is death-on-wheels - the KLR is reasonable (unless you compare it to a real dual-sporter like a KTM). Enjoy the trolling much? ____________________________________________________________________________________ Expecting? Get great news right away with email Auto-Check. Try the Yahoo!
