Thanks for the responses. The_Dog33 is correct about the riding conditions I face. If I want to go where it's rough, I'm certainly not going on a bike. I have a Grizzly that I use in the REAL back country. It carries the spare fuel, emergency gear, and WATER that you can't fit on a bike. I am looking for something to use on pavement, gravel, and hard packed roads for when I have to run out to take a quick look at the property, or to locate corners with a GPS. To use the Grizzly, I have to go home, load it in the truck, drive to the trailhead, unload it, do my chores, then reload it, drive back home, unload it, then drive back to the office.
I've considered both the KLR and DR 650s, but I am limited due to a 27" inseam. The DR could be lowered enough to be useful, but I currently ride a thumper (a Savage), and I am looking for something a little smoother.
