Hi gals, guys. I live in Matamoros, Tamaulipas, México; just across the Rio Grande from Brownsville, Tx.
I'm 48 and been thinking seriously in fixin' myself with a "multi surface" bike, even that I've never ride in one before or that I must travel 3 hours to get to the mountains.
After reading here and there ( my friends and everyone else here have street bikes or quads) I think the one I want is a KLR650.
Is like I fell in love with her at first sight. Every article, opinion, review, post, photo or thing I read or see makes me utterly desire her more and more and more.
Then, what appears to be common sense hits me and asks: Rafael, will you be able to handle that truck? Why don't you buy a smaller thing that you can play with? Why don't this...? Why don't that...?
I'm 5'11" and 195 pounds.
Anyone has an opinion?

 

When I say "common sense" I dont mean "wife".
