Hey mate I'm heading to Argentina in Feb 09.
I'm looking at getting a bike to tour round on,
But I need to squeeze two ppl on the bike,
(I'm 6ft but only weigh 69kg, and a girl on the back)

I'm thinking the KLR650 won't be quite big enough?

Plan on touring South America for about a year on what I buy...

It looks like a nice bike - can it handle 2 ppl?

Harley,

I weigh more than you and ride a KLR. I installed a 560lb rear spring and 1" raising links to compensate for the weight of two riders and gear.

You could get yourself a new(er) shock with the heavier spring and install it in 30 mins. You can get the raising links from Eagle Mike in the US and install in less than 15 mins.

Just a thought.

Good luck.

1996 klr650 for sale with 45,000 miles

I'm in B.A. with a beat up 96 klr...she's pretty to me and she's done the job with a couple of spills but nothing too bad. If you are looking for cheap, I'd entertain $1,500, comes with happy trail side boxes and the larger after market 6.6gal gas tank.

The only problem is the speedometer/odometer went out down in Comodoro Rivadavia and i haven't bothered to fix it since they didn't have the part there (not the cable) and I didn't know what i was going to do with the bike here...an easy fix for sure.

The bike has travelled all of central and south america 15,000miles with no problems and has regular oil changes every 3,000m.

I'm planning on leaving B.A. in about two weeks. If you are interested email me at masqaroda@yahoo.com and I'll share pics.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
