Five issues with the new KLR:

2 Items I forgot to mention: There seems to be no ABS off button! If true, that is terrible! Also, where did our tachometer go!! ALSO: Please note I had the Tenere 700 fuel tank capacity wrong: it is 4.2 gallons, not 5 gallons. Meaning the KLR holds 1.9 gallons more, in theory if the figures are accurate.

The Kawasaki KLR650 is BACK!! It's better than you think - here's why! What do you think? Did Kawasaki do enough with the new KLR650 to keep it relevant?

The legendary Kawasaki KLR650 returns for 2022!! I go through the changes with you and give you my thoughts on what they did well, where they missed the mark, how the weight stacks up, how it compares to the Yamaha Tenere 700, and would I buy one?
