Well Mo and I went to the show (International Motorcycle Show) and looked at a lot of bikes but I believe that we have made a choice. Originally we looked at BMW and she liked the F 700 GS and I was going for the 1200 GSA and we still really like and admire these two bikes and may end up with them. Since neither of us are experienced riders (many years on mountain bikes though, if that counts) we are kind of leaning towards two thumpers. They had a Suzuki DR 650 that was lowered with factory parts and Mo was able to sit on it and still place both feet on the ground. I sat on a stock height one and found the cockpit very cramped for me but she was very happy with it. I found that I like the KLR and I think that both of them would be compatible together.
I do have a few questions though. Would handlebar risers be for a shorter rider who is maybe over reaching to the bars or for a taller rider that is bending over too much? Does anyone know if you can get dropped pegs for the KLR? It looks like it would be an easy change out. The rest we can work out as time allows but I am curious about the above.
Thanks in advance for everyone's help and input. With any luck, we will have them at the ExPo.
