My KLR650...13 years and going?

[misterprofessionality]

You're not wrong Pdesde, that KLX300 is so much much more in the "spirit" of the original KLR650 than the current generation of KLR650 is. KLRs were ADV bikes before ADV was a term that people used. Now KLR650s are trying desperately to ape the ADV aesthetic they helped father. It's tragic, but the smaller KLX300 really is going a long way toward recovering a lot of that gravel-road-cred that the newer KLR650s have given up.

The only drawback of course is carrying capacity, range, and highway safety.
