I've got 8000 miles on my KLR, 70% Oregon log roads/ Eastern Oregon high dessert. It won't keep up with a KTM, sucks on single track if it's muddy, scary in anything that's technical, likes to shake...

Correct about Progressive. I went to add a 5th bike and had to start a second policy. Tried to argue my way up the chain but couldn't get a reason. I'd really like all the bikes on one policy.......

I agree, the Uly isn't a great off road bike, although I've seen photos of some in places you wouldn't expect, but a lot of Gs's don't see any trail action in their lives either. I was considering it...

I've been down that road. I bought the bike shortly after the tranny was replaced under warranty with 6000 or so miles on it. All the failures seem to be unrelated to each other, poor castings, under...

Always thought that was a truely ugly motorcycle. Many of the people I've seen riding them have a problem with deciding which role to dress for, bad ass cruiser dude, or new BMW owner snob. ;)

I use Liberty Mutual. They go only by the cc's of the bike, not make. I couldn't believe that was true and asked many times. About $700 a year for 3 bikes (99 S, 03 zrx, 02 klr) full coverage, but...
