I’d rather spend that kind of money on a KLR than 10k on a new Dual Sport. With little to no experience off roading, it just makes more sense. At least to me. The KLR seems to be the go to bike for folks like myself precisely because of how welcoming and forgiving it can be. Great video! Happy New Year! 🎉
awesome story im glad you finally listened to me and rode that thing.and yes the brakes really do suck.thanks for the nice words on riding skill.means alot.your friend jeff
I have a Honda XR150L Bone stock, even the tires. I love it for our gravel roads which is about as much adventure as my soon to be 62 year old self wants. Considered a KLR but I'm not sure if I really need one. Great video.
My pannier bags are just $25 dry bags that are attached with Rok straps. Actually a really good setup and fully water proof. Hurts a lot less when you crash and wreck one.
@trekandthrottle i got a yamaha xt660x with 50/50 tyres. soft used givibags and a duffelbag on top Diy footpegs and skidplate Cost me about 2800 dollar

Great points, the love of old dual sports cannot be dimmed. Subbed to see what happens next!

My first bike was a Honda, never had to do any work on it. They make great bikes.
I bought a new KLR650S in 2023 and I love it of course. I have an 1100 V-Star also, but I spend most of my time on my KLR. I enjoyed your video.
Yea my KLR is definitely the daily driver. There's just something about these bikes.
Really great video. Love my KLR as well. I love your footage and your take on in. Thanks for sharing.
You sir, are doing it right
Great video and telling it the way it really is!
Nice to see someone that don't spend 20000 dollar on bike and luggage👍👍

Nice roads. Good luck with the channel!!
The bad brakes are just off-road ABS.
Not gonna lie, they are ABS on pavement as well lol.
Great video mate! I do have a hate/love relationship with mine. The fkn carburetor is hell. Besides that smooth sailing 😅
Weird I've never had any issues with mine. I did do the KLX needle swap and adjustable idle screw, maybe that has something to do with it.
Grab an mcp carb correction kit and follow the instructions. Bike will run better than ever
Nice video love my KLR!!!
Great video
