While retaining the highly-acclaimed reliability of its predecessor, the 2022 KLR650 elevates its touring potential to the next level. Frame revisions contribute to composed handling character, and rubber mounts add to rider comfort. The increased comfort and greater carrying capacity facilitate long-distance touring.
Shroud design and carefully selected colour & graphics strengthen the KLR650’s well-established tough, adventure image.
A key component of the long-running KLR650’s reputation as a trusty steed, the liquid-cooled DOHC single benefits from fuel injection. In addition to the reliable starting and fuel efficiency offered by FI, a generously sized fuel tank enables long ranges between fuel stops. Another feature for the KLR650 is ABS, which adds to riding confidence.
