I'm medium small, 5'7" and 155 pound .The BMW has fuel injection and is beautifully put together! A different generation to a KLR, good as they are .

The BMW gets almost exactly the same fuel consumption as the latest Yamaha 250 ....it also has fuel injection but the Yam puts out 23 hp max and the BMW gives 53 hp.

I'll take a secondhand BMW!
