The KLR sounds perfect for your situation, it's a great bike and a lot of people love them. A little bit more bulky than the DR but a rock solid machine. The KLR has a lot better wind and water protection, better gauges, and probably a bit more comfortable. I think your right, you wouldn't go wrong with either bike.
