No way! A better KLR

Kawasaki could be for- ! given for not spending any R’n’D budget on the tried-and-true KLR650. Believe it or not though, Kwaka looked hard and found a few small improvements that actually make a surprising difference. We say ‘surprising’ because we thought the bike was already pretty damn good in the first place.

If you check the specs panel we’d forgive you for wondering why we’re having another look at the KLR. It appears that nothing has changed. It has.
