    Kawasaki revived the enduring KLR650 twin sport in 2022. The third-generation mannequin broke cowl 4 lengthy years after Team Green discontinued the second-generation KLR650 in 2018, including modern styling and gas injection with out sacrificing the bike’s utilitarian nature.

    In 2022, Stateside riders can select between three KLR650 trims. The base mannequin courts mild packers, whereas the Traveler version sports activities a high case for further carrying capability. The Explorer variant, nevertheless, ups the ante with panniers, crash safety, and auxiliary lighting.

    Australian prospects don’t take pleasure in such a strong vary, although. Off-roading Aussies can decide between the usual mannequin or the Adventure trim, however every variant comes with ABS in inventory kind. According to Motorcycle‘s tremendous sleuth Dennis Chung, an replace to Australia’s automobile certifications on June 16, 2022, hints {that a} new KLR650 variant may contact down Down Under in 2023.

    The bureau lists the Marketing Designation of the brand new trim because the KLR650S. When cross-referencing with the U.S. KLR mannequin VIN numbers, it turns into evident that the KLR650S isn’t a mannequin at the moment obtainable within the States. While that guidelines out the Traveler version, Kawasaki doesn’t present another clues for the S variant.

    On the opposite hand, frequent bike nomenclature recurrently designates S fashions as “Sport” trims. While we’d like to see a road-oriented KLR with a 19-inch—or dare we are saying 17-inch—entrance wheel, we doubt Team Green would push the dual-sport right into a duel with its personal Versys 650 journey touring bike.

    Instead, we flip to the KLX lineup for steering. Kawasaki launched the KLX230 platform in 2020, however the KLX230S joined the fray in 2022. Suiting shorter riders, the KLX230S incorporates a decrease 32.7-inch seat top. The two-stage entrance suspension and Uni-Trak rear suspension additionally lower entrance suspension journey from 8.7 inches to six.2 inches and rear journey from 8.8 inches to six.7 inches.

    The 2022 KLR650 at the moment boasts 7.9 inches of journey on the entrance and seven.3 inches within the rear. Its 34.3-inch stand-over top may intimidate novice off-road riders and the inseam-challenged. A extra accessible “short” variant would definitely broaden the KLR base, however like all speculatory stories, we’ll have to attend for the producer to formally affirm or disprove our theories within the coming months.
