... you guys never talk about doing anything with your bikes. Just
fixing all the crap that breaks on them. Are they crap?
It reminds me of how I got into endurance sports. My thoughts were
that there must be something to it if they are willing to suffer like
that....

yup, the crappiest crappy crap there is, so crappy yuou should immediately
sell yours (if you have one) to whomever on the list is closest for cheap. pay
for their gas and time to haul it away if you want to be fair, but some of the
fools on this list could be conned into parting with a few hundred dollars for
the privelage of taking it off your hands.

"Yes they are... now go troll the Harley lists."
The KLR is much more reliable than any Harley. They rarely run
10,000 miles without major engine work. Proud former owner of 3.
The new TC-88 motor has tons of issues that Harley won't address.
The Sportsters give trouble too.

Well, how about this? Three times in the past 6 months and at least 3 times a year for the 6 years that I have owned my '91 KLR I have ridden it to Southern Baja (1000 miles each way) and then put 500 or so miles on it while down there. No mechanical failures on any of those trips except for the rear stock shock spewing its fluid. Otherwise its been 3 flat tires and nothing more. I did have a balancer system failure in '99 but nothing after that repair and rebuild. In addition to the Mexico trips I average about 8,000 miles/year in California. Street and lots of fire road type riding.

Ouch!! No need to get nasty.
KLR riders are typically chronic tinkers who love working on their
bikes. Since this bike is so simple & rugged it lends itself to home
repair & modifications. All motorcycles, cars, machines in general
have "opportunities" for improvements. Since we KLR riders like
working on our bikes, we also like to discuss what we're doing & look
for good ideas that other folks are doing.
No they're definitely not crab, the KLR is a foundation for rugged,
unique, all-purpose motorcycles. The US military chose the KLR650,
above all others, to be the basis for their motorcycle and like the
typical KLR owner, they immediately tinkered with it. What's unique
about KLR people is that we're very technically minded & like
perfecting our machines as opposed to those Harley types who are only
interested in what else they can get chromed & fancy paint jobs.

No, I bought mine just to have something to maintain, it's been a
dream come true. My only complaint is that nothing ever breaks on it,
I should have just bought a Harley instead. It would have kept me
busier and the constant stench of old beer on my breath would fit the
bike's image more effectively too.
It's nice out today, I think I'll put on some flip-flops and go ride
to a bar.

You MUST know that I wrote that tongue-in-cheek. Go to Google and search for "klr650." The website that has been the first hit for well over 1 year is my "Mark's KLR650 Website." You can't believe that I, the owner of that website, think that the KLR is anything other than the best two-wheeled conveyance out there! The guy was obviously trolling, so why entertain him by mounting a vigorous defense. There are two groups of people out there; those who know that the KLR is the best bike going, and those who haven't ridden one yet. I can't imagine someone riding one and not falling in love with it. To heck with gay marriages, I want to marry my KLR!
