is this new for '04?

About age I'm 37 have been riding off and on for close to 20 years.My first bike when I was about 20 was a Harley Sportster. I nearly got killed on it.While not fast by Ninja standards it was way to much for someone of limited experience(and handled like crap).I just bought a 2001 klr650. I nearly let my ego push me into buying a ricerocket.I'm glad I didn't the klr is plenty powerful enough for any normal use and it can do many things a regular street bike simply can't. It's the best thing since individually wrapped vacuum packed sliced cheese.

I'm 55, retired, and live where we can ride just about all year round, and I do. About 25,000 miles a year. Old back injury precludes dirt riding, but not 1000 miles days when necessary. I have had all the bikes, but came back for another KLR two months ago. I just have to have one to ride. Crash with my last one said I can't ride that fast anymore. That's OK, ride slower, sort of. Done up specifically for road use, and it does it great. My other bikes sit while I ride my favorite. The KLR.

43 y.o. here in Orygun. On my second KLR after 35 years of riding. Other bikes have more glitz, glamour and go... but what can I say, the KLR just makes me smile. West Eugene, OR.

Been riding since 13 and I'm now 52.9. Twenty five or so bikes that were just practice while waiting for the KLR. The only bike I liked almost as much as the KLR was a 750 two stoke triple, the Kawasaki H- 2. Very similar fun per pound ratio. DAngus A-11

55 next month, been riding for 40 years and just love that KLR! Does kind of hurt when you high side and the brake leaver takes a chunk out of the side of one's foot! cheers Martin (Western Canada)

Bob, Have you tried the Hooters wings nude with three Mile Island sauce? Without the breading thier even better. I ate an order of fifty by myself. I was so busy watching that I didn;t even realize it. If you like oysters, their bucket of steamers is a nice snack. The only thing I don't like about Hooters is their name I'd have called it Tits & Ass and told the women's rights organizations to fuck off. -- bierdo Freedom of speech - take it all the way!
