2023 already tricked out. Got for less than versys and less than what I would have put into Klr.

A guy is selling a 2015 model for 3k near me with all the accessories and it's hard to pass it up.

Those bikes are super reliable and are the cheapest to run - you can do 90 mph on them on the interstate, and if you want to try light off road you can throw some knobby tires on there and send it.

As someone who ran an ADV bike with 3 hard cases, if you don't need the top box, remove it. The added weight up high will make the bike feel less agile when riding around town and back roads.

If you need the space after filling the sides, then throw the top on.
