  1. So I’ve owned two DR650’s and road a couple of KLR650’s and the things I can’t understand is why neither manufacturer will make an updated version of their bike? I can only guess the parts they use are so old that they’re almost free and the bikes make them a big margin? Fuel injection, front wheel ABS, modern gauges and a few more horsepower is what I’m talking about.

  2. A few upgrades for the KLR would also up the price before you know it ,it would enter a new bracket on the shop floor $7650.or something crazy.it would be a totally different bike and start competing with the bmws.That would be the end of the klr as we know it.its a cult bike now so I say leave any upgrades to a minimum. good review thanks.

  3. Nice review: good production and I especially like how there are several points where we can hear the motor running. Good insights into the bike, too. I have a 2016 model just like your test bike; the “new” model seat and springs really make a huge difference over my former 2012 model. I like these bikes because they are comfortable for my 6′ frame. I love the upright seating position and the roominess of the seat-to-peg distance.

  4. Good job. I made the right choice. My KLR is the best bike I’ve ever owned. I’m at 21k miles and still no new doohickey.

  5. my next logic adventure bike..hope so..wish if instrument had fuel needle..or digital ‘something”..btw you don’t have to break the bank..

  6. I’ve always liked the KLR, just not enough to buy one over a more powerful bike. It’s good for what it is, but not impressive by any means. You could de-tune any bike to make less than half it’s expected power and it would be just as reliable, which is something that impresses a lot of people strangely. Good looking bike though.

  7. For those who’ve owned a KLR… Was it me, or was the reviewer searching really hard to find ways to be very optimistical about the bike.. 🙂

  8. ive had mine for 2 years now . its my 4th bike . all have been enduros. this is by far the best. its a mule . were you point it , it will go. i ride mud with no problem. off road with no trail. highway all day. you cant go wrong with a klr .

  9. Excellent work! The KLR is a living legend in North America. Best On-line and parts support of any ADV bike in North America. I’ll never buy one new or used, but folks seem to really like them. I went with the MIGHTY DR, the high speed low drag KLR. The KLR does have more value than the DR650, thanks to the updated Suspension in 2014.

  10. First thing you need to do to any new KLR is put a Slip on exhaust on. The stock muffler is WAAAY too limiting. You will double the power and torque throughout the entire rpm range. I recommend the American made DG exhaust for under $200. TRUST ME!!! You will not regret it! No need to re jet the carb unless you change the head pipe also.

  12. this is really great review video ..
    I had the KLR 650 long time and totally loveeeed it .and I wish the KLR would be available in the UK market .
    PS the camo color really looks badass soo KLR

  13. If you include ‘fuel injection’ in your comment just move on.  You don’t get it and never will.
