I’ve just bought a KLR650.
It’s a 2007 model, and it’s making sure my feet are firmly anchored in the real world.
There’s lots of great things about working for a bike magazine, and the obvious one is getting to ride new bikes. The only problem with that from a professional point of view is it’s easy to lose touch with the rides, limitations and frustrations of a massive group of owners who aren’t being pampered and given the best of everything all the time. I’ve just had six months or so with BMW’s F800GS, and my only complaint with that bike was I felt it did half the work on rides for me. It made everything so easy.
