LEGENDARY KLR650 RELIABILITY – NOW WITH FUEL INJECTION!
The Kawasaki KLR650 has earned a worldwide reputation as one of the most dependable, versatile, and affordable adventure motorcycles ever produced.
At the heart of this machine is Kawasaki's legendary 652cc liquid-cooled, DOHC, four-stroke single-cylinder engine, a design known for exceptional durability, simplicity, and long service life.
For this latest generation, Kawasaki added modern electronic fuel injection, eliminating the carburetor and providing more consistent starting, throttle response, and performance across changing temperatures and elevations.
No rejetting necessary when you're riding from sea level into the mountains!
The combination of electric start, fuel injection, liquid cooling, a rugged five-speed transmission, and Kawasaki's proven engine design makes this one of the ultimate go-anywhere motorcycles.
BUILT FOR THE OPEN ROAD – OR THE ROAD LESS TRAVELED!
This is where the KLR650 truly shines.
Want to ride Route 66 across America? No problem.
Planning an adventure down through Baja California? This is the machine for it.
Dreaming of riding the Pan-American Highway, exploring remote mountain passes, or disappearing into the backcountry for a weekend? The KLR650 was built for exactly that kind of adventure.
Its long-travel suspension, capable dual-purpose chassis, generous fuel capacity, and comfortable upright ergonomics make it equally at home on paved highways, gravel roads, and rugged trails.
The larger front fairing and taller touring windshield provide improved wind protection over previous generations, making extended highway riding more comfortable.
With its luggage cases, rear rack, passenger accommodations, auxiliary lighting, and charging ports, this example is especially well equipped for long-distance adventures.
A PERSONAL FAVORITE OF KAPLAN AMERICA!
I've owned and ridden motorcycles of virtually every description, and one of my personal favorites is my own 2004 Kawasaki KLR650 in Black.
I've nicknamed mine "Big Black"
The a reason I love it so much is It's simple, rugged, comfortable, dependable, affordable, and an absolute blast to ride!
There's something special about a motorcycle that can take you down the highway all day, turn onto a dirt road, and keep going long after the pavement ends.
The KLR650 delivers exactly that kind of freedom.
This 2023 model takes everything I love about my own KLR and improves upon it with modern fuel injection, a more substantial fairing, improved touring equipment, and a seriously aggressive blacked-out appearance.
This thing looks BADASS, and it's built to back up those looks!
WHY PAY NEW-MOTORCYCLE MONEY?
A fully equipped KLR650 Adventure like this could approach $10,000 out the door when new, with dealer fees, shipping, set up, dealer conveyance fees, taxes, title and registration.
Here's your opportunity to own a virtually new, fully equipped adventure motorcycle with just 80 original miles for thousands less than comparable new-bike out-the-door pricing.
NO FLUFF, NO HASSLE, WE CAN FINANCE IT IN 10 MINUTES AND SHIP IT TO YOUR DOOR!
No need to spend additional money outfitting a basic motorcycle for adventure touring. This machine already has the luggage, protection, windshield, lighting, and charging equipment you're looking for.
An exceptional opportunity to purchase an essentially unused example of one of Kawasaki's most trusted adventure motorcycles!
FINANCING AVAILABLE!
