Found out it is still too heavy for serious dirt.But it's good on the freeway! For folks that have ridden both the KLR is more comfortable on the freeway; possibly due to the small windscreen - which could be added to the XR or the DR. Both bikes are lighter than the KLR.
Due to a nasty fall on the Griso that took out a collar bone I think my dirt days are over; can't afford to do all those crashes. We shall see. In any event, the XR is being tuned more for road use.
Depending on where you live, the TW200, WR250 or CRF250L would be excellent choices for off pavement. Just don't expect them to do 70 all day.
Listen to Rboe. He gives some good advice there.
Come on Inline, make a decision.

What's the last line about, Pterodactyl? Are you advocating the forum equivalent of a slow hand clap?
