klr 650 is comfortable if youre legs are long enough, probably ok for most people 5'10 +. Its much more of an offroad bike than the vstrom, while the vstrom is a better road bike. Ive seen pictures on the internet of KLR 650s crossing snow covered terrain too.

I do know the Kawasaki KLR650 has numerous acessories and is cheap.
The V-Strom is much more of a street bike directed design although improved dirt roads can be ridin' with it.
The DR is something I haven't researched which now I ask myself,Why didn't I?

I would go with the klr as it has a much larger gas tank so can go farther off roading.

KLR650 all the way. The DR650 will wear your butt after 20 mins. The KLR has more power, many upgrades are available for low prices. Go to KLR650.com ....enjoy
