I've met several riders over the last couple of years that have both a KLR and V-Strom. When you changed, did you find yourself using your KLR on the street mostly? #Post#: 72-------------------------------------------------- Re: Random Picture thread V-Strom By: JasonLester Date: March 6, 2013, 9:09 am --------------------------------------------------------- Yeah we bought the KLRs to ride to AK and back. So mostly pavement. Though we did have about 600-700 miles of gravel this last trip. I also buried my KLR in the mud. Considering the riding my dad and I like to do I think the V-Strom was a good switch. The KLR is a great bike. It just wasn't comfortable to me. Not bad but not great. I actually didn't realize it as much until I got on dad's V-Strom. I did a bunch of research to get to what bike to buy. Top on the list was something he could flat foot. His KLR was tall. We lowered it for the first trip up but it was always trying to fall over. So we changed back to normal height which helped but made him uncomfortable at stops. It was way to tall for me. My unloaded V-Strom seat height is like my loaded KLR was. So on a trip its gonna be nice. Plus just overall its more comfortable for me. The way I figure it, if I want to off road more I will just get a more off road oriented bike. Something far lighter than the KLR or Strom. Then if I want to ride it on the street and its not a dual sport I can convert it. I grew up on a XR80 and was used to a bike that was way lighter. Off road that seems to be a plus. #Post#: 75-------------------------------------------------- Re: Random Picture thread V-Strom By: TL*5 Date: March 6, 2013, 10:25 am --------------------------------------------------------- Both very cool! Yeah, a Strom is on my list for most possible next bike purchase. I will keep my KLR I just want the same things, a little lower and a little more street savy. #Post#: 128-------------------------------------------------- Re: Random Picture thread V-Strom By: arkansas Date: March 12, 2013, 4:42 pm --------------------------------------------------------- (HTM) http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-snc6/184524_10151442863733060_401504569_n.jpg (HTM) http://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/561911_10151103620782428_718918132_n.jpg (HTM) http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/554698_10151024418118060_526425545_n.jpg #Post#: 131-------------------------------------------------- Re: Random Picture thread V-Strom By: eemsreno Date: March 12, 2013, 6:38 pm --------------------------------------------------------- Great pictures there Arkansas I just rode through your great state last week.
