WHY I’M BUYING A KLR 650

I’ve been guilty of mocking the KLR 650, but after 11-days and 7000km across Australia, I have fallen in love with this Adventure stalwart and am totally impressed with her off-road capabilities. From high-speed corrugated desert tracks, sandy trails and rocky hills, the KLR650 Adventure has proven itself as one of the most capable, trustworthy and bullet-proof Adventure motorcycles on the market.

    You don’t know WHEN you get there but you know you WILL get there. Isn’t it what the adventure is all about?

    Adam, I’ve been looking to get back into motorbiking after a couple decades and was decided to get a KLR, but after watching your Africa Twin series, I fell back in love with carbureted bikes with zero bells or whistles. So now deciding between DR650 and XR650. It will have to be one of these big thumpers, for budget reasons. Neither has been upgraded in the last 30 years by Suzuki or Honda.
    Your channel has motivated me to take a riding course, dust off old skills, get a bike, work on it, ride it, camp from it, travel light, see the country (US is big enough), learn how to have fun even when completely miserable stuck in a mud hole somewhere. That’s an inseparable part of the adventure, because those worst days will become the best and unforgettable memories to tell over campfire one day.
