Motorcycle Touring Bags Bike
Does a Kawasaki KLR 650 make a good touring bike?
I am interested in purshasing a new motorcycle to help me with the legacy run next year. Its about a weeks worth of constant riding so I am trying to find out which is better the Kawasaki KLR 650 or my highly modified 2003 Honda Shadow VT750DC. I have completely rebuilt my old bike into a touring motorcycle complete with hard bags and trunk, windshield and floorboards and better seat. You can see pics of my bike at… http://www.a1hardbags.com/motorcycle-hard-bags/ln-saddlebags/cat_15.html Just watch for the only white bike in the slide show. I work at a kawasaki deaer and we have a 2008 Kawasaki KLR 650 on our sales floor for 6000… in my price range with bags and better windshield. Which would you drive on this run, my old DC or the Kawasaki KLR 650?
I know there’s a whole bunch of people who ride the KLR650 everywhere. Florida to Alaska and all points in between and they swear by them. I looked at your bike (nice) and I don’t see why you’d have a problem doing the same with it. Unless you just want to buy another bike I believe yours would be fine for this type of riding. If this trip involves any off-road riding then the kawi would be the better choice.
edit…hey TOTTAL, nice cut and paste job there.
