The third generation 2022 Kawasaki KLR 650 is a great bike, but it isn't perfect. After a few months and several thousand miles of riding, I've come to hate a few very specific things about this motorcycle. If you're in the market for a 2022 Kawasaki KLR 650 or really any Kawasaki KLR at all, then there are a few downsides to this adventure motorcycle that you should be aware of.
First, some of the stock Kawasaki KLR 650 features aren't exactly amazing. I'm not a huge fan of the stock footpegs, windscreen, or new dash without a tachometer. The side cases on my 2022 Kawasaki KLR 650 Adventure are great for day trips, but the weird rack setup makes it impossible to use your bike with any other types of soft luggage or panniers.
Second, I'm really quite tired of hearing about the Kawasaki KLR 650 Doohickey upgrade. All anyone wants to talk about is the stupid KLR doohickey. I understand that it's a concern but there are other aspects to the bike, and the doohickey seems to be all some people can think about.
Third, I'm wary of the overall seat height and top heaviness of the bike. This is a major concern for shorter or less experienced dual sport motorcycle riders.
Fourth, there's a ton of vibration to deal with. This is to be expected with a large single cylinder motorcycle like the KLR, but it's still annoying to deal with when riding at freeway speeds.
And finally, the worst thing about the 2022 KLR is that it's just kinda boring. It is not an exciting motorcycle to ride.
My 2022 Kawasaki KLR 650 review isn't all bad, though. Check out the flip side of the coin in my "Five Things I LOVE About My 2022 Kawasaki KLR 650" Video: • Five Things I LOVE Abo...
