The 2023 Kawasaki KLR 650: The Ultimate Enduro Bike

Contents​


Kawasaki is known for their off road bikes and 2023 continues that tradition. The 2023 Kawasaki KLR 650 is a dual-sport motorcycle that has been designed to tackle any terrain, whether it’s on the highway or off-road. With a long-standing reputation for reliability and durability, the KLR 650 has been a popular choice among adventure riders for decades. This latest iteration of the bike features a range of upgrades and improvements, making it an even more formidable machine on the open road and trails.

At the heart of the KLR 650 is a liquid-cooled, fuel-injected 652 cc engine that delivers 40 horsepower and 39 lb-ft of torque. The engine is paired with a five-speed transmission that provides smooth and responsive shifting. The bike also features a comfortable seat and a large fuel tank, making it ideal for long-distance touring. On the topic of seat comfort, the seat is a relatively tall 34.3 inches so if you prefer a lower option, check out the 650 S for the same cost and a 32.1 inch seat height.

The KLR 650 continues to show off what Japanese dual sport motorcycles can do, featuring a sturdy frame and a powerful suspension system that can handle the toughest off-road conditions. The bike comes with a 41 mm telescopic fork with 7.9 inches of travel in the front and an adjustable Uni-Trak suspension system with 8 inches of travel in the rear. The suspension can be adjusted to suit the rider’s weight and riding style, ensuring a smooth and comfortable ride on any surface.

In terms of braking power, the KLR 650 is equipped with dual-piston calipers and a petal-style disc brake in the front, and a single-piston caliper and a petal-style disc brake in the rear. The brakes are responsive and provide excellent stopping power, even at high speeds. If you prefer an ABS option, look into the Traveler or Adventure versions that include ABS as well as luggage and DC power socket.

Other notable features of the KLR 650 include a large windscreen to protect riders from wind and debris, a digital instrument panel that displays all the essential information, and a range of optional accessories such as saddlebags, a top case, and a tank bag. With so many capable bikes and multiple configuration options in Kawasaki’s motorcycle lineup it may be difficult to choose.

The 2023 Kawasaki KLR 650 starts at $6,899 USD/$7,999 CAD

2023 Kawasaki KLR 650 Features​

ABS (Anti-lock Brake System)​

Kawasaki ABS systems use front and rear wheel sensors to constantly monitor wheel speed. Should information from either of the sensors indicate that wheel lock has occurred, the ABS ECU directs the pump in the ABS unit to modulate brake fluid pressure (releasing and reapplying pressure so that traction can be regained) until normal operation resumes. ABS offers rider reassurance that contributes to greater riding enjoyment.
