Kawasaki KLR 650 Beginner, interm ediate and long distance trans travelers have had great success with the KLR 650 The old design basic school and great reliability, capacity of 23L tank was one of the bikes that we will see very probably in production for many years to come.

Protection against wind The seating position is high retrospectively to the windshield, so that protection against the wind is less than adequate I just higher speeds around 120 km h, it has become a problem, but the top speed of the KLR 650 is not much more than that, so its not a major problem or negative feature on the bike, but a simple extension screen will do.
Seat height and comfort height 890mm seat standard is very high for an entry level bike, since its for beginners and intermediates - the high seat will be a factor to consider for small jigs, especially if the first adventure biker tim personally, 1 86m tall I found it to be fair and very comfortable.
Off Road Handling As expected, the Kawasaki KLR 650 light was splendidly nimble around the arena driving off-road in Kilarney I rode up and over all obstacles, rocks, sand, through the passage of deep water, and didn t seem motorcycle struggle with something that we tried on gravel roads open only issue I found standing handlebars seem a bit small, but simple spacers will set the KLR 650 starting a bike for those who join the world of adventure bike and even once they have mastered the gravel and part type more difficult terrain, the KLR 650 will keep riding through Africa .
On his way will not win races, but it is not designed for KLR 650 can be a little lacking in the upper end 150km h - but we know what kind of bike is and don t expect to maintain more big bike cornering and handling are very stable and comfort was great that I could easily do a few days on the tarmac on this bike and complain.
