No idea, but I think if you check with the guys and gals on the ADV rider forum they will be able to help you. I've always liked the looks of the last generation KLR's and they seem to be almost totally bulletproof.
From what I recall if you buy a used one make sure it has had the "doohickey" mod done. I'ts some sort of aftermarket tension spring that delas with a stock weak spring issue.

I'm pretty sure I'm going to end up with a 2009 now. And the doohickey on those is good, as are the modifications they made on this NEW gen of KLR. Looking at the 2007 & 2008, some of them cost as much as the 2009..and the 09 would be new! With all the modifications! So, I guess why buy the later models? I guess I answered my own question! lol....
