ESCAPE. EXPLORE. ENVY.

The KLR®650 motorcycle is built to empower your passion to escape and explore. Dual-purpose capability allows the journey to go on- and off-road, and a reputation for enduring reliability helps you focus on the adventure at hand. For decades, this legendary motorcycle has inspired countless stories from all over the world, and the spirit to make new memories continues to beckon today.

• COMPOSED CHARACTER: Ride confidently through varying terrain with a durable chassis and long-travel suspension. A sturdy 41mm front fork handles suspension duties up front and an adjustable Uni-Trak® rear suspension system helps the KLR®650 motorcycle deliver an all-around composed riding character while front and rear disc brakes help you stop with confidence.
• RIDE SMOOTHLY: Optimized suspension settings, a long swingarm and an integrated rear frame contribute to confident handling, whether on a single track, backroad or interstate highway. The KLR®650 S features a seat height of 32.1-inches vs. 34.3-inches on the KLR®650. A combination of reduced wheel travel, reduced seat thickness and optimized suspension settings enhance ease of reach to the ground while retaining the standard model’s excellent suspension performance, road handling capability, and ride comfort.
• FULL STOP: Powerful front and rear disc brakes deliver strong and consistent braking performance throughout your entire ride. The optional anti-lock braking system (ABS) offers additional assurance when riding on lower-friction surfaces.

• KEEP COMFORTABLE: The KLR®650 takes comfort and touring potential to the next level while maintaining the highly acclaimed reliability of its predecessor. Optimized frame strength and rigidity, under-the-seat rubber dampers, rubber mounted handlebars and footpegs all contribute to maximum comfort and carrying capacity for long-distance touring.
• COMFORT IS KING: Increase your riding comfort by combatting wind and weather with the tall two-position adjustable windshield. The optimized handlebar and footpeg positions with rubber mounts provide a relaxed riding position with low engine vibration for maximum comfort. For those long rides, you'll enjoy the rubber-dampened comfort seat with a tapered shape and supple seat cover for maximum bump absorption and ride comfort.
• CARRY ON: Pack all your essentials with the large aluminum rear carrier and available accessory side and top cases complete with a convenient one-key system. Generous generator capacity offers 80 watts of power, with an output of 26 A, to meet the power needs of grip heaters, fog lamps and other electrical accessories, perfect for your next extended adventure.
