Looks like a good time. I am looking into getting a Suzuki DR650. I would go with a KLR but have short legs and you can lower the DR a couple inches.
Have you sat on one recently? They are tall, but don't weigh much so it ain't really a problem.
I'm only 5'7" when I stand especially tall, and the newer generation KLR's were lowered a bit a few years back.
This is me on my '92 back in 2010, last time I rode it to New York State. (The first pic is along the "Tail of the Dragon" in the Smokies).

Note the toe contact to the pavement in that second pic, about the way it is, but the bike doesn't weigh much so it ain't a problem.
Plus, just having to throw a leg over when getting on keeps you flexible
..and like I said, the current KLR's are lower than this.
Anyways, I was just a kid in '10, I look less goofy than that now.
