This is the best thing besides fuel injection that Kawasaki has done for the KLR line. Now with the S you have a MUCH lower seat height. You can tell in the video a little but it does not do it justice.
Just got mine and wow, what a difference!!! Sood my 2014 and was never getting another klr because it's just too gangly, a pig if you will. This lower bike is a completely different ride. At pushing 60 years old it is so much more manageable.
I would look into the closest dealer to you and see if you can sit on one. If you are near us, we have a few, and you are more than welcome to stop by and see.
