Congrats on the big BMW road bike, I love mine. Since I bought mine I have ridden the KLR 3 times for a total of 20 miles, put 4k on the beamer in 7 weeks and haven't even gone anywhere yet. Debating selling the KLR and all the accessories then maybe buying a 250 or something to really go play in the woods. John 01 R1150GS 01 KLR 650 81 R100s

Hmmmm, I did just the opposite. Bought the big GS - loved riding it on "most" roads - but felt it was just too much bike for some of the more serious forest roads. Went looking for either a DR or a KLR for "two-up" and after sitting on a DR, decided the KLR was what we wanted. About the same seat height, but a lot less mass and MUCH better gearing on the KLR. If I can find a good deal on the rear-gear set out of a 1100GS, I'll pop it into the 1150 which drops the gearing about 8%. In the meantime, I think the bikes compliment each other quite well. ymmv rod --- debbie@... wrote:

My feelings exactly! I have a '01 1150 GS and a "00 KLR. They both fit a nitch and I would feel incomplete without both! I see the GS as a sport tourer and the KLR as the "adventure tourer"I think it will only be a short period of time till John realizes the short comings of the GS as an "adventure tourer" Ron -- --- Ronald Wells
