My 2001 KLR arrived on Friday - FINALLY! I took a big risk and bought it from the east coast on Ebay. Some cosmetic damage was disclosed and it arrived as advertised. What really got me going on it was that it was a 2001 with only 498 miles on it. Fingers crossed, hoping it was not neglected, I took the plunge. I recentyl moved to the Northwest and realized this is THE bike to have here with all the logging trails, fire roads and national parks and lands. My ST1300, while a great touring road bike, leaves me a little too limited in that respect.
Well, the engine is in GREAT SHAPE and mechanically it is really good. I'm even more thrilled because the day after I sealed the deal, the new 2008 KLR pics and stats were released and it wouldn't do what I would want to do on the bike as well, I think, so to get one in such good shape now is a boon. And what a hoot this bike is to ride. Smile from ear to ear, fun factor is a 10+
