Height should be your biggest concern.

I'm 5'11", with kinda short legs, too. I couldn't ride this bike if it were any higher. You can get lowering links, and a different seat, and you should be OK - right about where I'm at, but it may never be "like a glove" comfortable.

It will totally get the city job done. Little box on the back, and you're good to go. When they hit potholes, and nearly lose it, you'll float over like nothing. Mine is a daily commuter and a weekend warrior. There is nothing this bike won't do "pretty ok".

Riding is riding. Unless you're trying to keep up with people doing 80+, you'll be just fine. The bike is as much fun as any other bike on the street at <60mph. I've ridden with groups of guys on harleys, groups of older guys on Can-Am and Goldwing trikes, adventure bike groups, groups of kids on dirtbikes, families on atvs, and in giant packs of streetbikes on weekend evenings.

Travelling far distance ... don't do it unless you're comfortable on a bike already. Riding for hours on end can play tricks with your concentration and whatnot. If you must, and you're not that experienced, plan on a 15-20 minute break for every hour riding. Just do it.

Here's some shit that I learned the hard way:

Change the oil/filters before you go, and check the plug. Check your air filter after 1000 miles of highway/trail. Plan your trip to avoid interstate. You will be much more relaxed on smaller highways, and you won't have as many trucks and their drafts to contend with. Calculate your gas mileage at every fillup. Little problems can show up as dropping mileage before they become big problems. Put some flat stop in your tubes. Give the tires a push check before starting every time. Bring rain riding gear, and hope you don't need it. Get a throttle lock. Either a good one or a cheap one. The KLR will vibrate your hands numb, you will need to get your hand off the bars for a bit. Wear a camelback water bag. A good GPS/phone mount that offers visibility without having to look away from the road is really nice when going through unfamiliar towns. Make sure you have a usb charger if you don't have a 12v socket. for your gps/phone on the bike. Carry extra cheap eye protection. One of those ATV seat pads can help if you get a sore ass easily. Don't beeline it to your destination - make a point to include a side-trip up a mountain or something as often as you can.

I think you'll end up liking the bike, and you'll end up going on that "adventure" ride sooner than you think :)

Lanesplitting is as easy as you want it to be, with no panniers. It starts to get hairy above 60, because after that the KLR just doesn't have the instant go that you need to zip through smaller spaces. So at those speeds, you're more like a cruiser bike. But at city speeds, once you've been in the saddle a few months, it feels really small in traffic.

Here $8 for 3 shades I’ve used these since 2009. Can’t go wrong.

Hey I havent had the chance to buy any really nice ones yet but I picked these up from amazon they let a little wind in but not a ton atleast up to 55mph which is the fastest i get up to on my daily commute hope that helps.

I ride year round unless there is heavy rain, ice, or snow. When it's cold, one of these face masks is great. You can grab that and some other gear at I. Goldberg at 7th & Chestnut. I also have a pair of cheap motorcycle glasses that I got on Amazon to keep the wind out of my eyes.

Fog and bugs are a huge problem here I got some motorcycle glasses super cheap on Amazon and they work great.
They don't fog up much at all because there's rubber around where your eyes go so the heat from your face doesn't really get on the glasses.
There's clear, yellow and the sunglass type for when it's sunny I usually just carry the clear and the dark sunglasses in my extra pocket so I can switch if I'm riding at dawn and then it gets sunny.
$8 for all 3

If you hate dust in your eyes these padded motorcycle glasses keep the wind/dust out. They're cheap and they don't look too bad either.

If you want a different style look up "padded" or "motorcycle" sunglasses. I like them a lot and my friend with contacts and some eye issues said they were clutch (she kept my clear ones).

Do sporting glasses not work? I ride with my visor open, and even over 400 mile rides my eyes are fine.

I bought these cheapos and they work well.

I use these.

Take a look at motorcycle glasses. They’re basically RecSpecs. They’ll have gaskets to keep them sealed, a little venting for fog, and sometimes a strap to keep them on your head. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002UJVNFA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_lSqWBb9BP3MGQ

Main goal is to keep the hot exhaled air from leaking to the inside of the lens.
