Is Kawasaki’s KLR650 S the most approachable KLR to date?

I just bought one also. The ability to go off road...a jeep with 2 wheels. And load it up with camp supplies.

I just bought that exact bike & color ! Luv it !

Its the Golden Retriever of motorcycles.

Iv got just under 6k miles on mine now and I absolutely love it... I have the adventure model non abs... One of my favorite things I have ever owned.. best all around bike iv ever had.. it's perfect for me.. I love everything about it..

I actually just got new pegs and lowering brackets for an on my 650 so it's a bit easier to get my foot under the shifter

Not sure why Kawi didn't do this earlier. I laughed when I first saw their KLR250 in a parking garage in 2001.

IT IS THE She can go fast but will get winded fast. She can carry a lot like a boss. Always eating everything. Needs help up hills. But she is a loyal and tough beast. Every motorcycle collector needs one. Even in the far future on other planets, she alone will be there doing what she does best. Puttering along being a work horse.

It might be a good Supermoto conversion

So I shouldn’t be using front brakes when slow speed maneuvering ?

[rhugh]

Love mine. Get out get one and get riding.

I would like for kawasaki to give it a 6th gear though it has enough torque for it

I bought one of these in the same colour. Do you know where you can buy a center stand that fits this bike? I bought an adjustable one for regular KLR’s but it is too tall.

Doesn’t the shortened height in the rear mess with the geometry off-road?

[lhurst]

Wow, for those that are poor and short.

[notreallydaedalus]

oh no... you're not going to jump on the wanna-be tiktok bandwagon, are you?

[repetitivemotion]

Why would I want a bike with less suspension travel? I want the most travel possible so the bike doesn’t drive my spine thru my skull

[Fernando-zpt]

What I dont like about kawasaki is that they boast about having shorter seats as if it was something good. Do they think whe are all midgets? Who is going to make a motorcycle for normal height men? (6 feet+)
