fter a two-year hiatus, the Kawasaki
KLR650 is back! The KLR650 was elimi-
nated from Kawasaki's lineup in 2018 but
will return early summer 2021 as a 2022 model.
The all-new 2022 KLR650 is fuel injected
and features a new multi-functional digital instru-
mentation panel with a fuel gauge that is paired
with a new fuel tank design with greater useable
volume. Kawasaki says, "numerous parts have
been updated for increased riding confidence
when carrying luggage, reduced vibrations and
increased generator capacity, contributing to the
improved performance and ride comfort."
It also features a new LED headlight, updated
clutch, stronger wheels, and larger brakes that
are available with optional ABS (a $300 upgrade).
The 2022 KLR650 isn't alone; it will be joined by
two KLR650 special edition models, the KLR650
Adventure and KLR650 Traveler.
The Adventure comes equipped with factory-
installed side cases, LED auxiliary light set, engine
guards, tank pad, and both DC power outlet
and USB socket and is available in the
Cypher Camo Gray colorway. This model,
