Hi,
I am looking for a machine with a little more power on the highway. Highway speed where I live is 75-80 mph, not much left in the KLR. Thinking of a V-Strom 650?/1000 or Tiger 800, as a possible replacement. About 90% highway driving 10% Texas dirt/clay riding.
The KLR fits me well and I upgraded the suspension for a 300lb rider. I really don't want to buy a new machine and re-do the suspension. Neither the v-storm or Tiger are great fits for my build, they would need personalization, which I don't mind to much. I just don't want to spend several hundred $$ on the suspension and personalization. I would appreciate any comments on both machines considered.
Thanks
