2022 Kawasaki KLR650 Adventure Review, Learner approved bargain fun...

[@axiss5840]

Considering buying a KLR as my next bike and this was a great, honest review. I haven't seen another vid as straightforward in talking about a bike as this one!

[@BikeReviewcomau]

Thanks! Even my own Uncle bought one after watching it haha.

[@Bdb860b]

Great review as you get the thing that is a klr. I am biased ,as I own a klr ,but most reviewers don’t really get what they are about and try and compare them to high end adventure bikes. My 2014 klr has been places most high end adventure bikes will never go. 😊

[@briangarmonar15]

I picked up the 23klr. I absolutely love it. I've been in all riding situations. It hasnt let me down. Just past 10k miles, I bought it new. Great bike for a big guy.

[@gary1477]

I rode my 2 G KLR650 from Sydney to Perth exploring a few back roads on the way. It never broke down.

[@Ghostrider-71]

That sounds like an epic trip!

[@allans7281]

Good review we love our friends in Australia KLR a popular bike here in the states. As we get older comfort is everything Bike needs a factory coffee holder Cheers mate Sol Cal USA

[@doublex632]

It's a really good bike, definitly the best out of the big three, KLR XRL DRZ. It is a tad bit slower but you'll end up probably going faster on it, when you get there. And it's wildly good going 50MPH. thanks

[@pawpawbandit3871]

Would you recommend vs. a BMW f650gs? either the older ones or the newer ones? thanks.

I’m probably getting 1 of these bad boys in the next couple of weekends. Have been on a waiting list for a CRF 300L Rally for over 6 months now & fricken fed up

[@kipper2942]

I’ve had my klr for 6 years now, did the main mods. Bought it to start out on adventure bikes. It is absolutely the best value for money adventure bike on the market. Best beginner adventure bike, most comfortable. Don’t go out and spend 25-30 thousand dollars on those flashy bikes. I’ve had so much fun on my klr, ridden hard on and off road, dropped it so many times off road and she is still good as gold except a lot of scratches. But I don’t care only payed $10000 for it. I am one happy KLR rider 😊

[@toddelphick9965]

Had an 1984 klr as my first big bike was a beast of a motor

[@Ghostrider-71]

I picked up my 2023 KLR 650 adventure last week and have been riding it everyday. It’s been very forgiving for a new rider. The poor suffering transmission……😅

[@hiflyer1168]

Get a tuner from JD Jetting Fuel tuner. Plug and play. Worth it!

[@tommysiemienik7172]

How well does the bike perform after being installed and does it start right away or take 2 - 3 attempts how some other people have said after install... ???

[@davidguerin2921]

Pretty well sold that bike Jeff. Great review!

[@BikeReviewcomau]

Cheers!

[@RickyNorman-g2m]

Jeff great review of klr 650. Who does your intro music?

[@triabunna]

pick mine up tomorrow, hopefully

[@1990-t1j]

I think this bike looks really cool. I like a basic bike. I've got an SCR950. Back to the KLR: the neatest place I've ever seen a toolkit stashed. I was wondering what the lock was on the rack. What a great bike. I wish I could fit those panniers on my SCR. Maybe I could. Seasonal greetings. Pommy Nick.

[@davidcoleman4941]

Great brakes I've owned 2 never experienced great brakes, but a great bike

[@specialized29er86]

Can you tell me does the basic one and the adventure touring have the same front fairings or does the adventure have a bulkier fairing.

[@lakelejeune4913]

Are you riding the abs or non abs model?

[@TheHortond]

How would you know if it overheated? It doesn't have a temp gauge. Plus, why would they get rid of the temp gauge? Was it part of the Eurotrash 5 regulations? Or a cost cutting thing? It couldn't have been that much more to add goodies like temp gauges.

[@Geshmaal]

Would love one of these, sadly they aren't available in the UK - I've had to make do with a Royal Enfield Himalayan instead!

[@brettb154]

Of course KLRs are available in the UK 🤦‍♂️ 😹

[@Geshmaal]

@@brettb154 cool, where can I buy 2022 KLR?

[@brettb154]

@@Geshmaal have a look online mate

[@Geshmaal]

@@brettb154 none on Auto Trader, none on eBay, what's your source for Gen 3 KLRs in the UK?

[@charlesthompson4268]

Just bought one. A 2022 with 629 miles. I could not pass it up😁

[@adamnicolay2969]

Just bought my first klr 650 less than 1 thousand miles on it

Messi is the Goat Siuuuu

[@thesteveus]

Even though this bike is a LAMS, would it really be OK as a first bike for a learner? I'm around 6 foot 3 and 120kg so I need a bigger bike. It might be overkill? Just thinking about this one or the Honda CB500X, I'm wanting something that I can just chug around on, backroads, the dirt tracks, that sort of thing.

[@TheFixer-rq9tj]

It would be perfect given your stature. You'd feel cramped on the little CB. The smoothness of this bike will give you confidence in a short matter of time.

[@JarradDRS]

Did you end up buying one?

[@thesteveus]

@@JarradDRS Yep, got the KLR, haven't ridden it much yet, but easing into it.

[@JarradDRS]

@@thesteveushow well does it fit your height and weight? Just trying to get an idea til I can go in and sit on one in person.

[@thesteveus]

@@JarradDRS Very comfortable for my height & weight, I actually got heavier suspension springs in mine too to allow for my weight. Not sure how the stock suspension goes, but the upgrades weren't really expensive anyway. Also got a metal bash-plate, the stock one is plastic, barkbusters, extra crash bars, and better foot pegs. I'm told the stock foot pegs are just bits of metal wrapped in rubber and they are no good, again, I never tried them, just got the extras fitted before I took delivery.
