Well I'm going to try to find a KLR...08+...preferably a 2009.

Got $500 saved up. Was going to borrow $3500 but that takes $500 away from it. So I will need to borrow $3000 somewhere AND find a KLR.

One thing of note with KLR's (particularly the newer ones), is they burn oil at hwy speeds. Its no big deal, just if you are going on a longer ride, you will need to carry some with you to top up.

Best of luck in your search. (you may find bikes become a bit cheaper come September/October)

I wish I could get something newer- I'm doing 80miles a day on an old Honda MT250. A 2stroke is a bit buzzy at highway speeds.
