The biggest gripe was that a bike known for being heavy in its class is gaining more weight. Ouch. The question being asked was if Kawasaki's claims of strengthening the cam chain system was sufficient to address the need for a Doohicky modification.
The KLR is a bike I've always had in the back of my head as a runabout I'd like to keep in my Mom's garage to run errands when I'm down in the San Diego area. Prices of used models vary widely, based on usage and modifications. I'm wondering if the new model will help to soften the prices of the older models, or raise them if the new bike isn't as well received.
Thumpers indeed have that real organic feel.
