honda XR650L vs KLR650
Hey guys, I've been doing alot of research trying to figure out which bike I should buy. I'm new to motorcycles and I am wondering what your thoughts are as to which bike would be best for me. I'm planning a trip through canada and the US, through mexico and then probably down to Brazil. I know the KLR is more of a road bike than the XR and the XR is more of a dirt bike, but how do you think the XR would would hold up to a trip like that? I want a bike thats lots of fun and easy to handle off road, but capable of long haul touring. I think I know a little more about the klr so I'm interested to hear from anyone thats taken an XR on a long trip. whats it like for a full day of touring on the highway and how does it hold up after you rack up the miles? Is liquid cooling an important factor? and how does the power/speed of the 2 bikes compare? I'll probably buy the bike new, so what makes the xr worth the extra money? thanks for any info.
