What bikes have you bought twice?

[DrewNJ_imp]

For me it has been a 2008 KLR650 that I parted ways with in 2017, and recently a 2022 KLR650. The funny thing is the response from my wife when she saw the new one. "Oh look, your old bike found it's way home, how cute".

So what do you think of your fuel-injected 2022 vs the carbed 2008? I recently moved on from my '07 to a new DR650...and it needs some attitude adjustment (idle mixture screw).

Are there any other notable differences?

It's simply much more refined and a bit better all the way around. Runs smoother, easier to start, better seat, suspension, longer swingarm, etc etc.
It's still a KLR and does nothing fantastic, but Kawi did a real nice job on the gen3 refining the Gen2 a little here and there.
I actually parted with my 12' DR650 for the 22' KLR for all the same reasons. More refined, less raw. Just easier. Makes it nicer for when I do have to spend time with it on the pavement and I'm to old to notice a difference off pavement.
