I have never ridden a KLR, however I have had a DRZ for several months. It seems to have plenty of power. I weigh 230 lbs so it is pulling a pretty good load with me on it. As for the HP department the DRZ is lighter than the KLR. HP alone isnt as important as HP to weight IMHO. As for speed it goes freeway speed with ease. I once had it up to 80 MPh with throttle left. I am sure it would do 100, but if I wanted speed I would get a sports bike. I puled the snorkle and noticed better mid range top end power. Over all I can recommend the DRZ.
