Hi ChaoSun, You'll have a tough time doing better than the KLR IMHO! It has plenty of "zip" in stock form. It can also be dramatically improved with a few aftermarket tweaks if you are so inclined. As for bursts of speed, mine will do about 108mph with stock gearing. It does a great job in the corners even with the stock tires. Good luck with your purchase. Jim 1

Anyone who thinks the KLR is "doggy" is a power junky! If you want a bike that can carry you, a passenger and luggage on tour, then turn around a tackle the toughest fire road, the turn around a be a civil gas stingy commuter bike, the KLR has NO EQUAL. If you want a screaming dirt bike you are comparing apples and oranges. Hope you don't consider that "flaying" -----Original Message----- From: k650dsn@...

Dam it Steve, you ruined everything. I thought my KLR was the fastest, dirt worthiest, toughest, best looking, bike around. Now what am I going to do. I guess suicides the only option. Please unsubscribe me from the list.

As much as I think the KLR is a great bike, I have owned a honda, yamaha's, and got a fair bit of saddle time in the suzuki dual sports (enduros). List -- Please don't flay me but.. in stock configuration, the klr probably has the least pep of the bunch. It seems to have less power, and it is certainly much heavier. Of the couple of dozen bikes I've had, it probably has some of the least pep of them to be honest. I still really like the bike, but if having a really quick bike was at the very top of the list, it's not the right bike. If having a comfortable mid-size bike that doesn't really do anything all that well (including being very quick), but just does everything, and keeps the fun meter pegged, it's right there. These are MY OPINIONS.... Go ahead and express your own, I'm interested; please don't trash mine if I insulted your (our) beasts. I just don't think of "zip" when I think of the klr.
