The Kawasaki didn't cut it.
Honda... I'm home. I won't stray again


5hp less than the KLR, but also 165lbs LIGHTER. Lovely.
I've spent the last few weeks looking at several dirtbikes/dualsports.
Yamaha WR-F's, WR-R's <-- actually a very cool bike for open country
KTM EXC's , W's, F's
Kawasaki KLX, KX-F
Suzuki DRZ, RM.....the list goes on.
NOBODY has the fit and finish of Honda. Nobody. Not just street bike or dirtbikes, just in general. Honda might not always make the most high performance model in a particular market, but they definitely put more heart in to it. JMO.
You should really inspect the new, flashy KTM rocketships up close... man, they are cheesy built.
