Kawasaki KLR650 Adventure
Allowing for a couple of model year omissions, the Kawasaki KLR650 has been in constant production for a total of 35 years. Not many motorcycle models can claim that kind of longevity. It has remained desirable for its ability to be both freeway-capable and dirt-worthy, while being affordably priced.
The Kawasaki KLR650 wears a new look and comes equipped with a variety of other upgrades, such as better brakes, LED headlights, and an LCD instrument cluster. But has the overall riding experience improved? Let’s jump right in.
Attacking a gnarled, paved backroad that eventually gives way to a dirt fire road is where the KLR felt most at home. The 21-inch front wheel and wide handlebar provide good control when riding over this type of terrain. Kawasaki literature claims increased stability via a change in rake/trail measurements, with the new KLR boasting 30 degrees and 4.8 inches whereas the old KLR measured 28 degrees and 4.4 inches. Also adding to the bike’s stability is a 30mm longer swingarm and a larger, 17mm vs. 15mm, swingarm pivot shaft.
