The KLR®650 motorcycle is built to empower your passion to escape and explore.

For decades, this legendary motorcycle has inspired countless stories from all over the world, and the spirit to make new memories continues to beckon today.

FEATURING:
UPDATED 652cc, LIQUID-COOLED, SINGLE-CYLINDER ENGINE
NEW FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM
NEW ALL-DIGITAL MULTI-FUNCTION INSTRUMENTATION
NEW DISC BRAKES AND OPTIONAL ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS)

Three models with different packs. ABS, Traveler, and Adventure. The basic bike remains the same with additional accessories.







Power, chassis, and other deets.





Very underwhelming. Even In the face of the 390 adventure. The tenere 700 and the upcoming 490 adventure will certainly demolish this bike.
