We each have to weigh the pro's and cons of a bike in our own way
some may say that the KLR's weight is a forbiding factor.... I would !
and realising that the smaller 125 is the bike you'ed rather Ride IS a major thing.... your riding for the fun of it.... and there for get one that is fun for you
.... that is it in a nut shell... although the KLR will be missed there is no doubt
but it won't be missed that much, I don't think !
....
my RX4 was not the right machine for me, I thought it was but it wasn't !
when I finally got the XR650L seat height low enough for me to go for a ride
I was elated at the power and front brake of the bike.... the rear brake sux but I think that can be fixed ! and it is OVER 100lbs lighter than the RX4
and has alot more power.... I can even wheelie with the thing if I hold my mouth just right ...LOL
for putting down the back roads on a street leagle bike that will do the speed limit, I can't beat it.... and YES the fun factor is alot higher with this bike too.... and another factor for me is the ease of working on the thing.
so I am Happy I got rid of the RX4 and I hope you will be glad you did too !
...finding the right bike for you takes a while !
