Adventure Sport 650???

Anyone else here think the new Ninja 650 ,or a 750 version, twin motor would make a great KLR replacement ?

No, I mean what about Kawasaki doing it. This would steal sales from the DL650 Suzuki, big time.

The DL650 V strom has a bore -stroke of 81.0 x 62.6. Pretty oversquare ,yet a VERY sucessful set up. If it really matters engineers could stroke it to a 750 or 800 cc motor and you'd have torque out the ass in a really light compact package. Am I that far off ?
