Kawasaki KLR650 Returning For 2015
One of Kawasaki’s most popular sellers, the go-anywhere, do-anything KLR650 will once again be a staple of Kawasaki’s 2015 lineup. Preferring to run on either dirt or asphalt, the dual-purpose bike is very versatile, able to take riders almost anywhere they wish to go on- and off-road.
The 651cc Single may not be the most inspiring engine in the world, but it gets the job done. With the 41mm forks, Uni-Trak rear suspension and plenty of travel, dual-purpose riders the world over have already experienced the terrain the KLR can ride through.
Combine that with decent wind protection, an integrated luggage rack to carry all your survival gear, and a massive 6.1 gallon fuel tank, and it’s easy to see why the KLR650 is so popular. It simply works. Retail price is set for $6599.

A lifelong gearhead who didn't fully immerse himself in motorcycles until his teenage years, Troy's interests have always been in technology, performance, and going fast. Naturally, racing was the perfect avenue to combine all three. Troy has been racing nearly as long as he's been riding and has competed at the AMA national level. He's also won multiple club races throughout the country, culminating in a Utah Sport Bike Association championship in 2011. He has been invited as a guest instructor for the Yamaha Champions Riding School, and when he's not out riding, he's either wrenching on bikes or watching MotoGP.
