Went on my 2nd 'real' ride on a KR350 Sunday. My nephews have 3 of them all 98 and 99. We went about 50 miles around South Mt. Burkittsville, MD area. This is where the AT runs up to Harpers Ferry WV. We also did some construction area riding on the way where I managed to fall over twice but it was great. I won't be selling the Concours but this is a great little dual sport bike.

in 2002. I have ridden it only about 2K a year, and once wondered why I held on to it. Well, it gets more fun the more it is ridden. I geared it down one tooth on the counter sprocket to better do mountains, especially when there is snow; that makes it busier at highway speeds, but mostly I ride it on dirt roads. It had no trouble getting to Russell's North & South and back. A very capable bike in tight twisties, too. Pirelli MT21s are the tar it likes best, dirt or street. The 98s and 99s are the best of the SE models (and last years for them) as they have the DR350 off road model forks. Mine gets 62-66 mpg and they are bone simple to work on. Many say the DR350 is a better dualsport bike, the DRZ 400S a better dirt bike. They're all a lot of fun!
