I don't think I'd want to ride a KLR all the way to Prudhoe Bay though. At least get a V-Strom or something with some comfort I'm thinking...?

Now that's a record worth setting. If you still have to hit Manitoba and Saskatchewan, do yourself a favour; don't do them during mosquito season

Yea most of that ride will be paved roads until the last. A KLR would kinda suck...IMHO. of course.

I'm used to 160 horsepower out on the road. Anything short of that will suck.

I'd really like a GS. However, I like the KLR for its simplicity. I can fix anything on the road with the right tools. That ride will be tough, things WILL break, and the fewer electronic sensor and gee-whiz gadgets to go bad, the better. It's a toss up really.

Awesome! My cousin is riding from Pensacola FL to Prudhoe Bay AK next year. He asked me to go with him but I don't think I will. My bike can only go 130 miles or so on a tank of gas, maybe 150 if I use up all the reserve.

true...you are also used to good ride quality, wind protection, decent seat, etc... if you can do it, more power to you. I once rode my DRZ 100 miles and thought I would DIE!!!
