500 EXC-W is a great choice, check out Giant Loop for hauling things around, can't say enough good things about their products.
How does the KLR do on long highway runs? Is 100 miles one way tolerable?
I've just been thinking about trying something a little different. Maybe the Versus is a better choice. I wouldn't be doing too much off-road. Mostly a 3-state commute.I still get to shuffle from the 2010 C-14 to the 2011 C-14, but they feel so much alike.
I did 400-500 miles days often. I was in a hurry to get to the meet point in TX during the trip, and went 912 days in one day. No probs.
What are you, a time traveler? lol.
yeah I hated selling it but 6 bikes in the garage was rediculous. Orange is here, I don't have a decent pic of it yet. Exc 530, 23 hours, 908 miles, tons and tons of mods to do before its worthy
