    I've been working my way through your older videos and I have a question for you: how do you not have 500k subscribers? Some of the best moto content on youtube.

      The youtube algorithm mostly rewards regular content. People who don't post as much don't get suggested for videos much.

    Happy to see a Kamrad vid! Was just talking about you and the upcoming Sand Blast Rally with Rob in Charleston after he worked on my Thunderbird. Also have a 1200 XE Steve McQueen but I don’t ride it in the woods anywhere near the speed you ride yours! Great review!

    Good to see Kawasaki bringing the 650 into the new world! Clever marketing, with a large margin for change.
    Love your work, keep it coming

    This is a very informative honest & enjoyable review ... the fact that Kawasaki has upgraded the KLR to injection shows they are still in it for the long haul & obviously are looking to the future for longevity ... reviews like this bring about feedback to improve their commitment to further sales ... remembering ... they are a low budget bike for good reason ... they provide a mid range priced bike to suit an all terrain all purpose market ... I'm a DR fan for reasons they are a light clean skin canvas with a huge aftermarket accessories market ... that said ... I'm waiting on their next move to align themselves for the Australian Design Rules & regulations for emissions etc ... scary but exciting times should they get their act together to compete in the market place ... really enjoyed the intelligent commentary in this upload ... well done ...

    Steve - another great review! Thank for doing these vids. I like the way your describe it as average when you look at specific aspects but somehow the sum of the parts makes it great. Would love to see you do a review of the Norden 901...

    Exactly! I got mine in 2016 and have spent a few bucks on making it into what I need. I can go anywhere I want. I do most of the service work myself but I got the dealer to install an Eagle Mike doohickey, he said the spring had lost tension so it was the right time to change it over. I won't be upgrading to a 22 KLR650 as it didn't improve that much over the previous generation. I was keen until I saw the same engine with 5 gears and the extra weight is disappointing. Still a good bike but I want more power next bike. Great review - your down to earth way is refreshing.

    Great review Steve. I think the DR 650 has the same cult following as the KLR, owners love them. The KLR looks like its more of a road bike that can go off-road. Good to see you back!

    Good to have you back. Unfortunately the KLR isn’t available in the UK. Bit of a shame, I think a bit underpowered for my (mostly road) riding but I’d love to try one.

    "All-C report card"... laughed out loud. Great review, in the now-classic Kamrad style. I really hoped you'd break something off it, like the Multistrada. But hey, it's a KLR, it's bulletproof.

    Bought a 22 klr adventure. Its great at nothing. I accept it for what it is. Its in a class of its own at sub $8000 you get 50mpg, simplicity, easy and inexpensive maintenaince, no electronic nannies, no distractions, storage and wind protection. I dont have to obsess about it being clean. Its not a weekend warrior. Its a rarity these days. VALUE!
