I have been follow this thread with interest having recently bought a 2013 KLR.
I am new to this adventure riding stuff at a ripe old age of 67 but loving it. Been on the mountain section of the TCAT and the HUBB meeting in Nakusp this year plus other smaller rides.
The KLR was priced right for me at a hair under CD$6000.00 plus of course all the add ons but most (not every) person adds these to any bike they buy to make it adventure ready.
Anyway back to business. Is not the reality that maybe percentages come into play with this discussion? I do not have figures to hand but I just wonder how many KLR's have been sold in the World vs any other model?
Then I start to wonder what percentage of those models have been reported to have broken down (has to be defined) and that could be key too, vs those that were sold.
I would hazard a guess that the KLR percentage would be relatively small. That is not to say any other bike model sales vs break down percentage may be small also.
Remember "It's not what you did for me but what you did not do for me that I will remember".
Someone said that I'm fairly sure.............
Hope all that makes some sense.
Howard.
