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’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.

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!

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
