Nothing went wrong.
It did everything OK, but after big engined bikes it was boring - too slow. Nearly put me off bikes - a Buell brought me back to my senses
And that's exactly what I like about it. It's got long legs 57 mpg and a smooth ride, and will go anywhere I want to go, and even some places I shouldn't. It's piggish in mud, but a great great street machine for under 75.
That's what makes the KLR a Classic. It's 55-57 mpg, with just enough power. Not too much excess, but just enough. It's a pack mule with wheels. Just don't go flying down the interstates at 80mph and it's everything you need (not want). Best of all, You can pick one up for $2000 to 4000 used. BEST VALUE YOU CAN BUY... LOVE IT'S FUNCTIONALITY.
