nOOb WR owner....I put 20k plus on the KLR from Alaska to Mexico & points in between. The last trip through BC my Brother rode his new CRF 250. I was so impressed by the capability of the 250 I came home & sold the KLR, THEN went out & found a nice, well farkled WR. I rode the bike home to SD from TN which included a 600 mile day, in the rain! We rode a section of the newly developed Dakota Adventure Loop last week. So far I'm not disappointed in shedding the KLR.
