Kenny, I had a KLE500 (same frame size as the KLR) and always found the KLE a little small in fit for me. I came across my '06 TBA by accident when trying out some other brands of cruisers but the minute I laid eyes on it I knew it was the bike for me. The America's suspension is a lot firmer than the Kawasaki adventure bikes which for me was the hardest thing to get use to but when you roll that throttle on when you're out on the open highways you'll discover just what these wonderful machines are all about. For me there's no going back and they look a million bucks just sitting ther waiting for their nest ride. Your choice. Good luck and safe riding.
