Can the New KLR650 be a Canyon Carver?! Riding the '22 KLR just a little harder than the tires liked

- Took the big 2022 KLR650 up to blood mountain to see how she does in the twisties. I try to stretch the short legs and test her agility. Its actually surprisingly nimble for how underpowered and heavy the KLR is. I push her just a bit hard at one point and the front end loses traction for a brief moment, but kept the rubber down! After looking at the tires, after todays ride, i ran out of rubber on the side which is why it slipped out. Hope you enjoy! The video stabilization is a bit strange, makes everything look very smooth, still trying to figure out setting on the camera. Safe riding!
Looks like some fun roads you're on! At age 54 I just bought my first motorcycle, a 2023 klr650s and am learning tons on it. Cant wait to do some real adv rides.
The road capability of the KLR is surprising.
Years ago when I lived in So Cal, I was riding my then V-Strom 1000 around some canyon roads in a rather "spirited" manner. Out of nowhere this guy laps me on what I thought was a dirt bike.
Got my groove on and caught up with him.
Yep. Gen 1 KLR.
I guess it comes down to the tires.
@@filippocorti6760 Yeah, I wouldn’t want to get too frisky on the stockers.
@@xnihilo1044 I wonder how much better on road good aftermarket tires are that are the same street/dirt percentage as the stockers.
New KLR 650 Adventure owner here. I pick it up this week and can’t wait to start riding! Thank you for posting.
Thanks for the update 😊
I'm very interested to see how things work out for you and your KLR 😊 i really like your talks, topics, levels of discussion 👍 I'd hate to be on a bicycle with that U-Haul going down the road 😐
I’ve been giving my 23 Adventure hell on these Colorado asphalt and dirt passes and canyons. She ripped Trail Ridge Road in Rocky Mountain NP during an epic windstorm, and so far has performed wonderfully; better than my expectations. I love my KLR.
Great video... Just ride them... To many comparisons for all people... Twist the throttles and enjoy them all... Gas it... Great video... Reminds me of me... !!!
Great video, cheers 🍻
Hey man I'm looking to get my first street bike soon and I'm curious about the fuel injected klr's. Found your videos about them. Great work giving as much info about the bike and how your experience has been with the mods. It's refreshing to see a klr video that doesn't dwell about the antiquated tech!
Thanks!
I have really enjoyed the Gen 3 in the twisties. Not as fast as the GSXS 1000 was, but as fun, just different.
Picked up a 22 for 5300. Stock except for center stand. Out of the box these are such good bikes. Suspension is near perfect for my 140lbs. Enjoy the bike!
Out the door price?
@filippocorti6760 got it from a guy who bought in 11/22 and it sat in his garage unused due to a health issue. Still had all the dealer paperwork and bill of sale and new t-rex center stand.
@@joelthomas4487 Sweet. Sounds like almost no miles.
With all these Japanese dual sports, Leave them stock they run and ride way better, throw a slip on it and call it a day.
Bret Tkacs has an excellent video on tire size vs contact patch.
What camera and com set do
You have. I have the pack talk bold and like it. But I would like to record my rides also with talk
I have the insta 360 one rs with a purple panda mic
@@teages078 I will look into it.
How about a Turbo KLR
Canyon Carver? No! I loved my gen one. I love my gen three. It has neither the acceleration or braking for that job.
Regarding picking one up for "high fours" or "$5600", is that out the door price?
Yeah, I'm referring to used prices too. I got mine just as they rolled out. I've seen them on marketplace for less than 5600
@@teages078 A new one for 5600 OTD?
New is relative right? I've seen new used '23 models for that price. If I'm not mistaken with the kawi rebates they are that price right now as well. Join the fb forum page and see everyone sharing their dealer prices. It's astonishing.
@@teages078 Thanks.
The KLR is not even slowed by my beard. 😅
If they would run 80 down the highway ild have one
They despite what folks say. I typically cruise about 80. Granted there's about 15 mph left of wiggle room at that. Most guys are swapping to a 16t front sprocket to help accommodate those speeds. If you can find one to test ride, I implore you to do so
They will.
They easily cruise at 80. 72 mph is sweet spot due to high front fender.lower it and wind won't affect it so badly. This bike is also brutal fast on dirt fire roads. I've done 85 on dirt. Dohhh
I pushed a 23 all stock to 93 mph indicated.
Mine will run 80 down the freeway all day
Uuuuuum...... ahhhhh..... ehhhhh
That's how I feel.
