One tough MoFo
Adventure Rider Magazine’s KLR650 has taken a pounding. If ever there was a tough bike, this is it.
When we last had a look at the magazine’s 2009 KLR it was being set up for ADVX and the editor was pounding around the countryside with it loaded to the max to make sure it was ready.
The bike made everything seem easy, and if the luggage load worried it any, it didn’t show. The bike kept munching away on long distances and tough terrain – swag, tools, lack-of-maintenance and all.
