my sick klr's story

I guestion the Versys riders ability.
The Versys runs the 1/4 mile in 12.4 sec @ 104.1 mph.
It has a top speed of 110 mph.
The KLR struggles to get into the 13's
13.9 sec. 1/4 mile, and a top speed of 103 mph.
The Versys can easily outrun a KLR

Find a donor bike and do it. > Monty, I rode an 08'KLR650 at the Kawi demo ride, Vintage Bike Days locataed at Mansfield, OH, July of 2008. My 'position' in the demo ride was number 4 behind lead and two Connies. Trailing me was a guy on a Versis. I smiled as we pushed the 'start' button. I would let the connies get a little ahead and then would reel them in--spiritedly. At each stop sign and turn point, I made it a point to make the guy on the versis a continouusly, smaller dot in my mirror. Back at the start/finish point, the guy jumps off his bike and runs forward, staring at the KLR650, "What is that!" I just smiled, "KLR650" and walked away. He was still looking dumbfounded at the KLR for several minutes when I turned back to see the bikes. Shoot. 6 years later, I still have the same look every time I look at mine. revmaaatin.
