I'm considering the Suzuki GS500f, and Kawasaki KLR 650 as pretty much my final choices. Ninja's just don't appeal to me, and I've been told the cruiser's I like (VStar 250, and the new Suzuki FI 250 are too small for the occasional interstate cruising I'll have to do. I kinda like the Honda 750 Spirit, but it's my third choice.
I'm told the later model KLR's can have an oil consumption problem, and the Suzuki can have a rust problem. Whatever bike I get, I'm gonna be stuck with for a long time. I'm scared of getting someone else's problem used. I can afford a new bike of last year's model on sale. Whadda ya guys think?
