    KLR650 is the claw hammer of motorcycles: maybe not the best tool for every job, but an adequate tool for almost any job. Essentially unchanged 87-07, some updates to bodywork, suspension and brakes in 08-12. Reliable as a stone axe, can be had cheaply used.

    I will take a rural dirt road in any condition with any bike over riding one in the Denver Metro area. I sold mine 12 years ago when I lived in Thornton. I absolutely hated the road conditions, road construction, and the volume of idiots on the road. I would consider owning one again now that I am in Conifer...I have about 1.5 miles of dirt.

    Good bike for what you're asking for. Limited ground clearance, limited suspension travel, more power than a KLR with similar weight. Basically a 650R Ninja with a little more ground clearance and slightly more dirt capable tires. A 650 Vstrom is very comparable, and has better aftermarket support.
