What kind of bike does Jim ride?

We've posted some info about the 650 KLR in earlier blogs but this little bit of additional stuff should impress you.

Motorcycle adventurer Dr. Gregory Frazier, having made three previous motorcycle rides around the world, made his fourth circumnavigation between April and August, 2002.  He rode a Kawasaki KLR 650 as he circled the globe.  

Frazier retired after this trip but was coerced to do yet one more around-the-world ride. His fifth trek, in 2004 was to help Donna Rae Polk, a 63 year-old grandmother of six who had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease live her dream.  She had never been on a motorcycle before meeting Frazier and convinced him to take her around the world. Their adventure lasted 14 months and covered nearly 30,000 miles from tips-to-tips of the earth.
