Honda Review

2012 Kawasaki KLR 650 Spesification is one of the most popular single-cylinder dual-sport motorcycles available. Though relatively small for an adventure bike, the KLR650 is possibly the biggest world traveler with KLR owners leaving their 650 tread marks across the globe. Comfortable ergonomics, easy-to-use power, long range and simple efficiency are trademarks of the KLR650. Kawasaki overhauled the KLR for the first time in decades in 2008 with a complete update.

Powering this dual-sport icon is a 651cc single-cylinder four-stroke engine with liquid cooling and the a basic carburetor with great throttle response. The bike is tuned for low-end grunt for those rugged trails, and designed with long suspension travel up front (7.9 inches) and out back (7.3 inches).

Braking duties are handled by a dual-piston caliper gripping a 280mm petal-style disc in the front, and a 240mm petal-style disc squeezed by a single-piston caliper in the rear. This suspension and brake package boosts the KLR650’s on-road performance without diminishing its versatile off-road capabilities.
