Being the more popular choice among adventure riders (touring on a dual-sport motorcycle), the KLR has a lot more aftermarket support when it comes to luggage options. Also, the big 6.1 gallon fuel tank has almost twice the range of the 3.4 gallon Suzuki's. That and the standard mini-fairing make it a better touring bike off the showroom floor. The Kawasaki also comes with a bashplate and luggage rack already installed.
Both bikes will eventually need a better saddle for long-range riding (the DR for comfort, the KLR to lower the seat height). There are several aftermarket and do-it-yourself options available for both bikes.
