Is klr650 a good bike?

The KLR is great, I really don’t have any problems with the bike at all. It seems just as much at home plugging down logging roads as it does going down the highway at 65 mph while getting 55 mpg. I love my bike and look forward to many more years with it.

What will replace KLR650?

For 2021, Kawasaki adds a new model to its KLX lineup with the KLX®230R S. Keeping pure off-road performance in mind, the KLX230R S is based off of the KLX®230R model introduced in 2020, with modified front and rear suspension that lowers overall seat height by one inch from the KLX230R.

When did I buy a Kawasaki KLR 650?

I bought a 2004 Kawasaki KLR 650. I always knew that this bike existed and gave it a glance every now and then, but never really thought too much of it. Life went by, I quit working on motorcycles and joined the Navy, got out when my time was up, and moved to California.

Why is the Kawasaki KLR still in the market?

It is still around, in my opinion, because the KLR outperforms every adventure bike in the market when the common denominator is price. That, and it can take a beatin’ and keep on tickin’. This is exactly what I was looking for – an affordable bike that can take me fishing and has rock solid reliability.

Can you take a full size KLR bike?

Scattered all over YouTube, Craigslist, and other social networks, there are KLR riders pushing their machines up to and beyond the distances you might consider taking a full size GS or other 1000cc ADV bike. Before the second generation came out, the KLR mold had been forming these bikes for twenty years.
