I like KLR classic. The new KLR is weird and scary to me.
When's the puchase giong to be? I might get take the GS out for a ride with you.
I have a colleague that rides an ST4s and is nearing retirement. He's skilled enough to have fun with it, but wise enough to know that the bike is better than he is.
I'm probably going to take a different fork in that road. I'll want to live vicariously through my kids and devote that share of income for 50-125cc rides for them. This year's projects include fitting the DR-z and failstrom for little passengers. By the time my nest empties, we'll all be riding hydrogen fuel cell thingies or hoverbikes.
