I still have the Harley - but I love m '23 KLR to bits. I spend as much, if not more time on it on the road as I do the HD. I like how lightweight and spunky it is to ride around, even if only around town for errands or a short blast to enjoy a nice day. No regrets at all - price, form and function - I love it.

@bodeanaventures 7 месяцев назад

Same and I love my Harley’s but this bike hits a different ride need

@danielw.9090 8 месяцев назад

no regrets. I love my KLR, much more refined than my original first generation KLR and It really looks great too. Looking forward to more extended rides and other adventures with it. Stay up bro.

@bodeanaventures 8 месяцев назад

Right on

@JamesHyde-tb8os 8 месяцев назад

I have no regret whatsoever purchasing my KLR, have owned my gen two several years now. It is the one motorcycle that no matter who I put on it they always return with a wall to wall smile, even my biggest baddest Harley friends. I plan to always have one in my stable. Completed a dream trip out West this August, traveled more than eight hundred miles in the dirt in the states of Wyoming and South Dakota.

@bodeanaventures 8 месяцев назад

that sounds like a great trip!

@raymondkierl2778 7 месяцев назад

Just picked up a used 2022 KLR. I would have never thought about buying one but rode my brothers for several hundred miles one day....I absolutely loved it! I will say that I prefer his 2013 carbed bike over the fuel injected bike. Good video content/discussion!

@bodeanaventures 7 месяцев назад

Thanks Ray, appreciate that. Hope your enjoying your KLR too

@kerrywood8979 10 дней назад

I have a 2011 KLR650 and love it for what it is. 62 years old now, my days of hard riding motocross are long gone and I just wanted a bike to enjoy forest service roads and tooling around in the countryside. Yeah, it doesn't do anything really great but I find it a very easy bike to ride and it takes me to very nice peaceful spots in the mountains. I have a Goldwing, Indian Roadmaster, Concours 1400 and a Yamaha Stratoliner. Each bike give a completely different experience. For what I needed it for, it was priced right, wasn't complicated (easy to work on) and dead reliable. Right now, I'm prepping it for a trip to Northern Idaho (on a trailer because I'm not riding it cross country) to enjoy some back country riding with my brother. The KLR is a great bike, are there better ones.....yes....but not for the money.

@str11pes 8 месяцев назад

I put on a 16/38 sprocket set. I have the same yellow one. I use it to commute over 1000 miles a month. I have no regrets. It is a perfect bike for getting you where you are going.

@kozas0 8 месяцев назад

I regretted selling my KLR650 for a 150cc scouter bike, with which I had the most terrible accident 15 years ago, breaking my leg, leading me to the the decision to stop biking. But nowdays I am rethinking into getting back into biking, just with a safe bike like the KLR, most probably a street bike this time like Ninja 650.

No regerts, only regurts when I sell one. But then I just replace it and I'm happy again. When is this trip? where are we going? the CFR will trailer well. I loved the Pan Am and did what I need it for. Now I'm happy with the Itchy special

Only two bikes I've ever owned are KLR650s. 34K on one and 45K on the current bike. Since I've never experienced other bikes, I'm happy to say I've been very pleased with the KLRs. No single track riding, but lots of gravel roads. Priced right, convenient dealer/service locations, easy for DIY servicing, and doesn't look bad. I'm 6'2", so found the KLR an easy bike to learn on.

@brandonschow5610 4 месяца назад

No Regrets! buying my KLR is easily one of the best investments I've ever made. Even the ride to work puts a smile on my face. I've put almost 5k miles in 7 months of ownership. Yeah, I'd probably enjoy a bit more power on the highway, but this bike does exactly what I want it to do.

@stephen8618 3 месяца назад

Have had 2 KLRs. Now have an Africa Twin...superb bike. The KLR, while capable, is woefully underpowered to be any fun. Can't ever envision buying another one. On the other end, I have had 3 dr650s... still have one. Kawasaki needs to reduce the weight and increase the horsepower. It's alure is the low price, relative comfort and torquey motor.

A bike is a bike is a bike. Why would I regret buying another one? Have a newer KLR and bought a Pam American later.

@XL883CNick 8 месяцев назад

Haven't yet gotten an ADV bike, but my 99' Sportster was definitely that WTF did I do moments. After some sorting stuff, maintenance & repairs and a 1250 Hammer kit later it's a lot of fun now. Wanting to dip my toes into the dirt side of riding but I am unsure as to how committed I wanna be. Start cheap on say a tw200, dr200, klx230 or just jump onto the KLR or the new vstrom de800 . . .

A '22 T7 - I would have been super happy with either, but on the day I went t buy the KLR, they had this used T7 out the front, and it was too close in price to the Traveller ABS to pass up :-)
