The author of classic 'Adventure Motorcycling Handbook' reviewed Terra. Quite interesting reading: http://adventure-motorcyclingh.com/2012/11/18/husqvarna-tr650-terra-quick-spin/
That guy's style of writing drives me nuts. Someone should have proof read it first, too. He brings up some pretty good points, however.
I certainly 'get it', but personally I live in an area where it is nice weather much of the year and can replace a 18mpg Toyota with a TER650 which gets a bit better milage. With the low fuel tank and resulting slimness it rides much more than a dirt bike than a klr or anything else on the market - personal opinion only. i thought the abs was for the rear brake?
