An Honest LONG TERM KLR 650 Review

*KLR mods below description* After living with my Kawasaki KLR 650, taking it off-road, camping off of it, commuting, and putting it through real adventure riding, I think I finally understand this motorcycle. The KLR 650 will do almost anything you ask of it. The problem is... does it actually do any of those things great? In this video, I'm breaking down the good and bad of owning a Gen 3 KLR 650, including comfort, highway riding, off-road capability, commuting, and the reason I slowly stopped getting excited to ride it. This isn't a KLR hate video. In fact, I still think it's one of the easiest adventure motorcycles to recommend to the right rider. But it might not be the motorcycle for me anymore.
