Default Selling the Kawi?

No I'm not selling the KLX but my old KLR650. Started shopping around for that "perfect" adventure bike and I spotted this baby - 2008 Yamaha XT660 Tenere. Doubt if they're going to sell 'em here though.

Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto. Does it drive itself? Looks freakishy way too futuristic, but definately different. Cool tires. Looks like the best of both worlds, as in supermoto and off road.

hmm, no disrespect here, but that thing looks like something from the Ant movie I think it was. Or maybe it was of the bee that went splat on my screen. Not caring for the looks dept.

Drag--I agree on the animation. I was thinking the evil grasshopper from A Bug's Life.
Cool bike, though.

You guys have a one track mind Deej, I don't think it will be available in the USA. The new KLR650 looks like the batcycle without the side car, the Yamaha resembles something in the Ant movie, so what would be your suggestions for a 650cc bike for adv touring? Smart a*s answers will be appreciated!
