The KLR wins comparisons based on overall competence. I know the 2008 version got a lot of upgrades and the price only went up about $150. The Honda is more expensive but more real off road oriented. Sort of the same with Suzuki. Triumph does well but isn't a bullet proof as the KLR.
Have you seen Gary Charpentier's blog? It's not active now but he's the real KLR authority.

This looks like serious fun. Maybe if I were more sociable I'd have a crew to go off roading with!
What's in the fire? To me it looks like a guitar that's suffered some seriously hot licks!
It was a blast. Say, what do you know about KLR's? Is there a better dual purpose that is as simple to work on and as reliable?
The fire was nothing but big chunks of wood but that does look like a guitar....

Yup, read his blog daily, have it linked here, as a matter of fact. He also had a blogdetailing his rides on his KLR, Frogwing.
I think the KLR is for me, unless I decide I want the Versys :) Seems like I am a Kawasaki fan.....
