Simplicity


One area where the DR edges out the KLR is in simplicity of design. The Suzuki is air (and oil) cooled while the Kawasaki has a big radiator for it's liquid-cooled engine. That's one less potential breakdown. The Suzuki reminds me more of the old dual-purpose bikes with it's sleeker styling, although I would prefer a plain, round headlight instead of the plastic number plate. I've never owned a liquid-cooled bike before, but I understand that their engines should last longer.
