I've been itching to get out and do a 2022 Kawasaki KLR 650 test ride ever since they announced the new upgraded version with fuel injection, so when my local dealership let me know they had a few in stock, I jumped at the chance to check out the new KLR. I had a great time on this new KLR test ride and was very stoked to have the opportunity to ride it in the city, on the highway, and off road on some fast gravel. I have to say I came away very pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed riding the 2022 Kawasaki KLR 650 off road and on the road. It's not an exciting bike by any means. It's not loaded with horsepower or new technology, but it is a solid, reliable platform capable of doing just about anything you could possibly want to do with it. The 2022 KLR 650 Adventure may be the best, least expensive all in one dual sport or adventure motorcycle option for new riders who want to ride away from the dealership on a bike that's capable of long highway miles and off road exploration.
On paper, the new KLR 650 seems like a heavy, boring pig, but after riding it I'm happy to report that it's so much more than the sum of its parts. It's a very fun on and off road motorcycle, so long as you don't expect it to be anything that it isn't.
Huge shout out and thank you to Power Motorsports for the opportunity to do this extended Kawasaki KLR 650 on and off road test ride. Check out their website at www.powermotorsports.com or just pop in and ask for Matt!
