Given that the KLR is currently produced in Thailand, only a few short miles from Malaysia and with similar labor costs, it seems quite unlikely. Your BMW dealer probably got confused because he heard the news back in 2002 about KLR production being moved to the area, but now it's six years later and he doesn't remember *where* in the area it was being moved... Of course, it's always possible that KHI could just pick up the factory and move it down to Malaysia if they decided Malaysia had lower costs. But you'd think they would have done that when they put the '08 into production, rather than wait until afterwards when it would be a real hassle...> The local BMW Dealer in Penang claims that Kawasaki will be moving > production of the KLR to Malaysia. This sounds a little far fetched to
