Hey all,
After lot's of great advice and after test driving several different bikes including the KLR and BMW, I am the proud new owner of a 2011 Vstrom 650. Much smoother than the thumpers and I think will suit my needs perfectly. 60mpg on my first tank. Thanks for all the input.

Congratulations! I am a proud owner of a 2007 DL650 and at age 44 it is my first bike ever. Huge learning curve for me but the bike feels so natural and comfortable. I don't think I could ever own a crotch-rocket or a "converter" after experiencing a V-Strom. Converter = convert fuel to noise...HD.
